I think today is day 4 of my Disney inspired weight control and fitness challenge. Or whatever you want to call it. I don't want to miss out on Disney because I'm out of shape. Got it? Oh and I set a goal of losing 22 pounds before going there in November too.
I've exercised for 5 days in a row now. I'm feeling pretty excited about that. I have been careful with my calories too and tracking everything. Today wasn't my best day of eating, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I only went over my calories by like 150 I think. I needed a popsicle, ok??
I did only get 3600 steps in. Let me tell you, when you're at home all day, getting up and getting enough moving in is such a hard thing to do.
I'll report my weight loss in a few more days. Right now I'm doing the treadmill 3days a week and doing a weight/strength training routine on opposite days 3days a week. I can't tell you how forward I'm looking to Sunday. Sunday is my day I've chosen to rest..... blah, I'm sure you don't want to hear me go on about this....
My goal with water is to drink @ least 80oz per day! I shoot for 100oz though. If you don't keep up with it, its a seriously difficult thing to do! Did you know you should aim to drink half your body weight in water per day? Holy cow, right?!? Yeah. That's a lot. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm making progress. A tip I read is to NOT just "sip" on water all day long. When you take a drink of water, guzzle 10 sips instead of just 1. Can't do that? Try 8 or whatever you can do. It really helps to get that water in and flush the excess junk out of your body...... sure, you'll have to pee like crazy..... a lot, but that's extra steps, right?? :D .... there is a silver lining in everything, my friends!! Even countless pee breaks to the bathroom!
I'm looking forward to finishing out this week strong :) I'll post my progress in a few days. (Shhh....But if you look at the tracker gadget. at the bottom of the page, you'll see I've already lost a solid pound! Woo!)
