Healthy Weight Loss

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 just hate to have to pee every freakin 15 seconds!!

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 !

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 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

our bodies need water to flush out the icky stuff.

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

I bought two 32 oz bottles for hiking, I've been drinking 64 oz of water a day. This is a big change for me, I do not like water. The more I work out, the more I know I need it, so I make myself do it. I make deals with myself. If you drink the water you can have a diet pop, and so on.

I was successful at not smoking today, and got in an extra walk during lunch since I was spending that time puffing away. Then I ate a charbroiled fish taco without the shell, it was fabulous.

I hope you all are having a nice evening.

JoSchmooze sent me a nice rep in which he confessed how he secretly worries about his hair and skin so is lapping up the water. VERY inspirational!

64 oz of water seems like a LOT of water, but when i leave my mug out and take sips here and there it just goes.

If i could count the water in my coffee i would be doing REALLY good!

Last night i made tacos and jasmine rice. i skipped the rice and enjoyed the rest for about 8 WW points. Not bad for yummy tacos!

Oh, you are soooooooooo not right!!
Please Alex, may I have "SARCASM" for a thousand please?

Although I do have to say that I go nowhere without at least 2 bottles of water with me......
My coffe now is black with some stevia and I have
barely touched alcohol since I started dieting.....
I had a friend over the other night - I threw burgers onte grill
and she even brought over her own beermand juice for her 12 yr old daughter becuse she figures all I had was water in the fridge....
She's right!
This hCG diet says that if you plateau for five days in a row,
that you do an "apple day"...meaning that you only eat 6 apples
for that day. I have flirted with an apple day twice before
but finally got the numbers to move...
Today is day three of 216.8 - so not looking forward
to an apple day but I don't know what else to do.
My weigh in is on Friday so to get my mind off the
scale I did my measurrments yesterday.
3.5 inches gone from chest,
2.5 inches from waist,
3 inches from the hips
3 inches from the thighs,
0.5 from the upper arm but I attribute
that to the strength and toning work I have been doing....

I have chicken strips out for chicken tacos today....
Evidently great minds do think alike.....

[JoSchmooze]

BTW....64 oz of water comes out to 4 1/2 liters
of bottled water a day. MY NP told me that I shold just buy the liter bottles and then I would know that I only needed to get through
2 of them a day....
Jest saying.....

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.

Thought? I have pictures! I had to poke one with a needle, it was gross.

Going to the grocery store tomorrow is probably going to be ten times more painful than the workout!

Back from the workout
and the weigh-in......
I lost 9.2 lbs this month
even though I really messed up
while I was in Austin.

And, at the gym, the manager is giving me a free
session with my Russian....
OMG!! He stopped what he was doing when I walked
in and gave me a proper salute!
So, today is a good day.....

[gaea]

today i slid into a size 10 pair of slacks, they hug my bum perfect...a little loose in the thigh and calf area...i thought they were 12's..for me this is a good thing..even though ive been primarily focused on the belly fat it seems im shrinking a little bit all over not so bad...

ok so i had a moment today where i felt completely ticked at my boss when he made a "comment" about my diet being poor and unhealthy because i snack on crackers wtf? I was so mad when i went to lunch and then i remembered my dad always saying you will get happy in the same britches you got mad in, and i sat there and thought yep cause my boss has no idea about my diet whatsoever, he has never had a meal with me so i let his shitty comment go and came back from lunch a happy girl.
