Current weight: 172 (I’m down 31 lbs)- actually 34 because I was really 206 at the start!
Mood: Encouraged
Struggle: I’ve plateaued!
So I have a new favorite place. It’s called Dr. Bombay’s Tea Shop. Dr. Bombay’s is a quaint little tea/coffee bistro of a place in Candler Park near the Flying Biscuit. When I have a spare second, I find myself trying to get here. It has a very eclectic and whimsical decor, and more importantly, they have the most delicious Earl Grey tea. I have switched my creamer and calorie laden coffee for earl grey tea with Splenda and skim milk 
When I looked over the calories I was taking in from my creamer, I was floored. Now, let me say that I used ALOT of flavored creamer. I loved Hazelnut, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Italian Biscotti- you name it. A serving size is a TABLESPOON! Are you kidding? I’m talking at least 1/4 cup! So- by cutting it out and switching to tea I am saving about 400 calories a day!!! Anyway- back to Dr. Bombay. So in addition to a fantastic atmosphere, 50′s and big band swing music and yummy tea, they have “High Tea” everyday at 3:30-5:30 (really anytime you want to order it). High Tea consists of tea for two, scones and finger sandwiches. FUN! It ends up being a fun and light dinner for me (if I have the will power to skip on the Devonshire clotted cream . Stop by and check it out if your ever in the Decatur area. I will warn you though- it’s crowded on the weekends and the space is small.
I was going to attend my 15 year high school reunion this coming weekend, but I did not want to miss the Forum workout with my challenge buddies. Also, I figure if I chose to workout now- I’ll look better for the 20 year reunion. I have not been on the treadmill in a few weeks, so Im hoping this will kick start me back into getting back in the groove.
ok- till next post, eat well and be well.
Blessings, jennifer
