I keep forgetting to update about the tea situation. Tea is very important to me. I used to drink, oh, about 5 or so cups a day. I had it with milk (about 2 Tbsp?) and sugar (about 1-2 tsp). I cut out the sugar about a month ago and started cutting back the milk last week. Now I'm having it with 1 Tbsp of milk and a half a packet of splenda. The trouble with this is that it uses up 1 1/2 of my 3 allotted condiments. I'm seriously considering not counting the splenda as a half condiment. It wouldn't count if it was in a diet soda, so why should it count in my tea? The milk is another story. I considered replacing cow's milk with almond milk (you can have a cup of Silk Unsweetened for 1 condiment), but tea and nutty do not go together, so I'm sacrificing my condiments and cutting back to 1 or 2 cups of tea per day.
I did try the almond milk in some coffee and it was fine. That will be nice for my occasional cup of coffee. I haven't had any since I've been "on program". I think that the caffeine in my tea (and the couple of iced teas I've had since I've started) is affecting me way more than it used to, so I'm afraid coffee might send me through the roof.
