H2O

Why do I title my post "H2O"? ....because that is one thing I need to get more of! I usually drink water when I'm at work but when I'm at home, for some reason, I don't really get any water. Tonight we filled up our water pitcher to keep in the fridge. So far, it has gotten all of us to drink a lot of water tonight! We just have to remember to keep it filled. Brayden has always been an awesome water drinker. The kid is always drinking something.

So, goal for this week: Drink more water. To be more specific... drink at least 64 oz of water. That is nothing...if I'm at work! I sometimes drink three 32 oz. glasses of water during my shift. However, when I'm at home... I might only drink one 16 oz. glass. When I'm at home, I seem to consume more pop. That's not good, I know. That's why I'm making my "drink more water" goal. The pop issue will have to be addressed at another time. That will be a hard one.

So, wanna hear the good news? ....... I am down another 2 lbs! I'm pretty excited! :) So, that brings me to 332 lbs. ...I realized that I need to start putting the current weight in my post because I change my weight along the side. 332 lbs is pretty exciting to me because the lowest I've been since I started losing weight in January is 327 lbs (and that was on an off scale...my actual weight at that time was 334 ...I'm pretty sure.) Yes, I gained a little weight back...but I'm getting myself back on track. I'm going to say that my May weight gain was due to stress... just thinking about May gave me a little hot flash! ...truly! HA

Tomorrow, I have the day off, so I need to get a little exercise in. The rest of the week is going to be pretty busy, so I need to get it in when I can.

I hope to have good news again next week. I'm getting closer and closer to my short term goals. I like to think that I'm only 7 lbs away from one of my short term goals. I guess it all comes down to who I am. I am a immediate satisfaction kind of girl. Having short little goals gives me something to celebrate more often. Most importantly, it works for me.

I'm a Loser

Really! I am! LOL! I'm down 4 lbs. from last week. :)

To be honest, I don't feel like I really did much to lose the weight. I ate a little better this week compared to the couple weeks before. That's about it.

I bought a new DVD to try out. It's a Biggest Loser Workout. I have yet to try it out. I want to try that one out this week and I want to use Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD I have. I have done that one before and love it! It's only like a 20 minute workout but you definately feel it! Those are a couple workouts I'd like to try this week.

I also bought Jillian's Hot Bod in a Box. It's a collection of excersice cards. A friend of mine uses them a lot and I thought I'd check them out, too. I should get it in the mail pretty soon.

I need to get out for walks and bike ride, too! All the kids love to go on walks. Tomorrow I'll try to leave early before taking them to daycare and go for a walk.

Goal check: I'm only 9 lbs away from getting some new clothes! I only want a couple things, to start with! New clothes are a pretty good incentive. I think it would be a good incentive for almost any woman! I don't have many clothes and love getting new things. Sometimes I don't like shopping because the way the clothes look on me. I think, I'll just wait to get that. I'll wait till I've lost some weight before I get that. That's probably why my closet looks the way it does. It's full of clothes that are either ugly or too small.... and by full, I don't really mean full. My closet is pretty sad, for a girl... or a boy! It doesn't help that there are only a couple places that have clothes that fit me. It would be nice to at least fit in the size 14-18 range. You can usually find a few things in those sizes.
