I love eating way to much to use my calories on liquids 

Same here. Coffee, water and tea all day. Wine when I want to spend the calories. 

Oh I do drink my calories if if it’s alcohol 🍺 🥃🍷🤤 

when your soul is at peace with something.... theres no better place to be imo ;) xoxoxo 

I drink my calories too if its alcohol ….fave….diet coke and rum yummy yum;) been drinking the black cherry White Claw too at times...;) 

amen 

Watermelon is my favorite. 😋 

I never drink cals either, only a protein shake. But today after work, a client handed me a tall glass of iced tea. I’m not even a fan of it but I was sweating after two hours of intense cleaning and she knew that, so I have to say it was very refreshing. Nothing like water though after a cleaning frenzy or a workout! All in moderation of course but boy, that iced tea used up almost 200 cals...imagining the food I could have had instead!!! 🤔🤔HAHA 

That’s exactly my thought wifey, 200 can be a good amount for solid foods 😋 

Try green tea— does not taste bitter and really refreshing. Mix a few macerated blackberries or raspberries in it. 

Tequila is better@96 cals per ounce. 

In my head I was honestly thinking, Rosio wouldn’t be drinking this!! LOL It’s all good. Only once. No big deal at all. 😁 

Good idea with the green tea Kenna! I’ll do that. I like fruits in my water to flavor it at times. Also cucumber slices etc.  

I just took a sip, just to see if it still taste delicious  

Fyi, Agua de jamaica still taste delicious 🤤  

I drink Aqua de Jamaica every day— I make it from the dried flowers myself. Totally hooked on it. It is used in Mexico and by the SW Native Americans to help control both BS and hypertension. . I did the validation on that from a medical point of view and I did find the supporting literature in the medical journals. Same for nopales 

Rosio— I make my Jamaic tea without sugar. I will sometimes put just a bit of SWERVE in it— Like 1/2 tsp. 

Yeah I should make my own 😬 

Sometimes I do but my hubby loads it up of sugar  

Well I’ve seen you all talk about this aqua de Jamaica and of course I had to google it, my hubby being Jamaican, yet I never heard of it. So my conclusion is it’s the Nexucan version of Jamaican sorrel, a drink we LOVE at Christmas, but only then. I actually had some dried sorrel I forgot to use in December so I saved it for Easter! 😉 Anyone know if it’s the same drink? I think similar, yet different? Yes? No?
