All Balls

All Balls
GONE, GONE, GONE.........

I hit another milestone this week.....40LBS !!! I have increased my water intake and I think this is helping. For me, this is big...because I don't like water. That simple. Soooooooooooooo - I knew I needed a plan. This is my plan..
I went to the store, bought the LARGE bottle, 64ozs., of Gatorade  ($2.00) and gave the Gatorade to my boss. They say you should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I fill the bottle up with water at the beginning of the day - I add Dasani flavoring (it has no aspertame, no sodium, no calories, NO NOTHING, except great flavor...) and drink away. I have been drinking one bottle before lunch and one bottle after......128ozs of water a day!! Good for the body !!

I also have a bottle at the house - that I do the same thing with on the weekends. This is saving me money. First - I have stopped going by the Sonic and getting my usual 44oz Coke Zero on my way to work. Then, because I can refill my bottle, I am no longer buying bottled water. On average, I am saving about $20 a week.....and I am putting that in a safe place for vacation, a new outfit, a spa day or whatever I decide to use it for.

In making lifestyle healthy changes - you gotta get creative. Obviously drinking water has helped pushed the envelope on my weight lost. I hadn't lost any in about 2 weeks, and then last week - 2lbs - and I think it was due to the increase in the water (plus I have to get up and walk to the restroom more often - exercise)

Think of ways that you can be creative in making healthy, lifestyle changes to a better you.

    Congratulations! I am always amazed to find people don't like to drink water. I love it. I have generally drank close to 64 ounces by 9:00 a.m.

    I do think little things make a difference. I was thinking of that this morning. I sat in the living room and folded laundry. The easy thing would have been to put it in baskets and put it away. But I make myself make multiple trips on days like today when I know I won't get a lot of exercise. Every little bit helps! At work, I try to add a little extra whenever I walk somewhere.

    You are doing amazing! Good work! I am also a huge sucker for Sonia's coke zero. Only, I get a vanilla one. Ha I also love their ice, so I get a huge ice water and force myself to drink the water faster, so that is how I justify it. I also love water, and don't need flavoring so I do have that going for me.

    Great work!
