A blog about me, not kittens

Wear yellow. Drink tea.

I’m so happy that I have another LiveStrong bracelet again.

My first one broke around a month ago after I had it for a year and a half. I’ve felt quite naked without one since.

It’s frightening how many people I know that are being diagnosed with cancer lately. I don’t know if it’s a result of better diagnosis tools, more health conscious people or if indeed cancer is on the rise.

That would be truly frightening if it is on the rise.

I’m starting to really change my life habits. I’ve stopped drinking all diet caffeinated sodas and replaced them with Diet Rite (no caffeine, no sodium, no calories) Black Cherry and Tangerine flavors and mineral water. At work, I no longer am drinking coffee.

(seriously)

I’m drinking green tea. I know it has caffeine, but about a quarter of what coffee has. Green tea also has some great health benefits, and my cholesterol is a bit high, so as far as I can see there’s no downside to drinking green tea.

I’m starting to buy a lot of tea from Adagio Teas – they have a fantastic website and great service.

If you want to try it, I can give out $5 gift certificates for all new customers. Just enter your email into the form in the sidebar to the right –>

Tea is good – and it’s good for you. The site has a plethora of information about the different types of tea and an extensive list of the health benefits of drinking tea. Check out the ingenuiTEA pot they sell too. I absolutely love it.

  1. So you felt funny walking around without proof on your wrist that you’d donated money for testicular cancer? I gotta say, I don’t really get those bracelets.

  2. No, it’s not just testicular cancer (that’s the kind Lance had) – it’s for all cancers.

    I don’t know…it’s somewhat inspiring to me that someone so close to death came out of it and has done so many good things out of his celebrity.

    It’s odd – but I do feel naked without it on.
