confession no. 12

i am really thirsty.  but first,

i had a perfect day today. perfect. perfect. perfect. if i could actually DO a cartwheel, i would so do one. but, i'll save that for later.

something i have found myself stumbling over, are drinks. i am always thirsty. i haven't yet aquired the ability to drink water all day. in fact, i really need to work on that. but, i find myself drinking Coke Zero's alot. they are calorie and sugar free, yes. and zero points.... but are they really ok to drink, like 2-3 a day? i also am in love with chocolate milk. 8oz. of milk, 2 scoops of chocolate chilled over ice, yummy. but, i feel so guilty for wasting points on THAT. i try to justify it as "i need the calcium" but, 5 points for a drink? gah, i dunno. note: i don't like regular white milk unless served over ice and while washing down a peanut butter sandwich, which is not currently on my Points radar; so that's the whole drama with that.

so, this is my biggest struggle. maybe i will try new flavors of Crystal Lite. it's the whole fruity-water thing that i can't get past, such as Propel. maybe this is a good alternative:

caffeine and sugar free + mango & passion fruit = happy tastebuds.

or

and maybe

but i don't really know if the Peach Passion is Caffeine or sugar free. but the thought of a big 'ol glass of ice and fresh peach slices. heavenly. 

so, be cautious of those drinks [and condiments i've discovered] - you don't really want to waste points on that, do ya?
