Healthy Weight Loss

Decided to buy myself a hot chocolate this morning ~ note to self, do NOT do that ever again! The sugar in it threw my system completely off; with only drinking water and like one diet coke a day I'm not used to the straight sugar anymore so it looks like my body (and I) do not really want that kind of crap in my body! For me considering how heavy into sugar I was before I started drinking water, its been two weeks and its like I don't have the urge to have it at all now ........... this is a HUGE breakthrough for me and I am quite proud of myself

I think its awesome too! I've never liked water but I'm slowly getting used to it, even times when I still hate it I refuse to cave in. So far so good, two weeks and going

Another bottle of water please is my mantra....
I have a six pack of diet coke in the fridge but I
haven't touched it for 2 months now.....
I just hate to have to pee every freakin 15 seconds!!

Water is a big issue for me, i always figured coffee was like the main ingredient in coffee, so it should count.

Well it ain't so.

i bought a WW mug which holds 32 oz of water, i try (TRY) to get in two a day at least. I find drinking with a straw is a big help.

Jo i hate the peeing or having to pee every five minutes too, i try to remember how nice my skin and hair feels when i do drink lots of water (i KNOW how important that is to ya) and drinking it does dissuade me from snacking so much. i do love a good snack.

i don't buy pop for my house at all ever, and i drink tap water filtered, tap water was good enough when i was a kid heck hose water was good enough lol so i figure its still good enough.

our bodies need water to flush out the icky stuff.

Going to get a workout from a former drill sergeant today. I'm not sure if I'm more scared of hurting or just looking like a wuss! Let's hope this is the beginning of something good.

I go and buy one diet coke a day from 7-11 but when I get my disability check this weekend I am going to just go and get a pack of them ~ I will *only* drink one a day still and the rest of the day its still only going to be water. I find as the days go by I slowly find that its getting easier to drink it, I still don't always like it but even still I managed to somehow power through it

LOL no I don't like peeing often either, but its getting rid of all the crap in my body so I can handle that !

I think it would be much easier to have one of those to keep up on drinking water but I try and get in atleast 5-7 glasses of water per day ~ no its not easy and I still don't like it but its gonna benefit me far more than anything else so I will get used to the taste for my health

I have a Brita filter system here at home but I never seem to use it much. I'd love to get one of those filter things that actually attach to the faucet itself, which would make it easier and no guesswork lol

You did not work out with a former drill sgt. If you did , you would probably gain weight. You would constantly have to stop so they could catch up. Army is soft and lax like that. But you did workout with a former Marine Corps Drill Instructor!

I must amend and correct this:

DRILL INSTRUCTOR. Per his words: A drill sgt is army title for their pathetic lax lame and lazy joke and farce of a boot camp personnel. The Marine Corps has DRILL INSTRUCTORS. Please don't ever insult me! Next time I may not be so understanding! (freaking civilians)

Next workout is gonna hurt.

Fell ill last week, period started and my workouts kind of hit pause. I slept tons and tons, didn't really watch what I was eating (wasn't really even that hungry) and did not go to the gym. Meh.

Started back at the gym yesterday, there was a young girl my age on the treadmill, she was doing pretty amazing switching it up between high incline and a good run at about 5mph. I was feeling very competitive, which honestly is an awesome motivator and got in a really great workout of my own. 35 minutes brisk walk and run with a five minute cool down, stretched and called it a night. Tonight I think I'll do 30 minutes on the elliptical, some strength work and maybe floor. I'm tired and disinterested so we'll see how it goes...

For those who are working out -- do you rock out? Whatcha listening to?

Hope this post finds all well and happy~
