What is your morning preference?

I tend to drink coffee all day everyday and has become a major addiction since my smoking habit ended over 2 years ago. I just can't stop at 1 or 2. This includes flavored creamer and splenda. I bought some herbal tea. I have peppermint, green, and Orange Spice which is all very good to me. They are just sitting there lonely in a cupboard. lol

    coffee with 2% steamed milk and I have the coffee habit since giving up the smokes and diet coke as well. I do only drink it in the morning though. :)

    I tend to drink herbal tea at night in the winter if I'm cold. :)

    Tea all the way for me. Hot tea or iced tea, I drink at least one glass a day.

    I am a coffee girl, but i do enjoy tea when the mood strikes. I have weaned myself off flavored creamers (i get flavored coffees instead) and initially switched to half-n-half then to organic whole milk, then to 2%, and now i use 1% or skim. I have also backed off from 2 rounded spoons of sugar to one slightly rounded spoon. But yes, i do drink 2-3 cups a day and wouldn't want to give them up! :)

    Coffee. Black! Fresh brewed only. I'm spoiled! I do enjoy tea though, later on throughout the day.

    Hot tea is what's in my cup each day. I like a few cups of Green Tea each day. They say it is good for you with the antioxidants, and good to also help lose weight. The have several flavors of it too. Maybe you can try this.

    Ya know, I'm the same way. I like tea noncaffinated at night once in awhile, but I drink about 3 cups of coffee a day and use in serving size surgar free vanilla creamer. I don't think I can give it up either, lol. I think it's better than a Starbucks Latte' calorie wise and healthier than a candybar, so I don't beat myself up for this.

    Coffee most definately, however, I started drinking decaf when I was pregnant with my son, and I never went back to drinking high test. I usually drink my coffe black but I went through a phase where I used sugar and flavored creamer. It was a tough habbit to get out of but making the decision to do it was a bigger part of the battle than making it happen. Sometimes when I want something sweet I will indulge with a cup of coffee with flavored creamer and sugar the way I used to drink it. When I have a few spare calories at the end of the day or I plan it into my eating plan when I decide to indulge. Ease yourself off like some of the others have suggested. You can do it! I like teas as well but tend to drink them in the evening, especially in winter.

    I like my coffee in the morning. Are you aware of the calories in the flavored Coffee-Mate? I use the plain liquid Coffee-Mate and I measure it into my cup. I also use Splenda. I know the flavored Coffee-Mate has more calories than the plain.

    I used to drink a whole pot of coffee every day. I cut back to a half a pot over a year ago. I do NOT intend to give up my coffee. I have given up ALL my other bad habits (soft drinks, beer, cigarettes). I REALLY enjoy my coffee.

    I drink iced tea in the evening. Usually plain with Splenda, but sometimes peach or raspberry.

    I drink both.

    I have several cups of coffee in the morning, straight black. Then, I get a pitcher of ice water to bring to my desk and make a HUGE mug of hot tea (flavor depends on my mood)...........

    I sip on the ice water interchangeably with the hot tea. I re-fill my mug several times through the day and also the pitcher of the ice water, re-filling when walking back and forth to the bathroom, LOL................


    Both coffee and tea have nutritional benefits. So, I enjoy both.
