Day Dos
Okay day two started out good and then ended with a blah. Started with a smart breakfast and snack, grabbed by 32 oz. water and planned to gulp that down and start another and grabbed my BFF (daughter) and took a stroll around the lake ~ All this accomplished before 10 am. Then the sliding began.......
Husband called he was popping by for an unexpected lunch and was bringing it in. Hamburger and fries. Then desert of a fudge round and diet cherry coke. I am still okay on the only one coke....however the day is not over. But I really think I can still stick to this. Dinner was good. Asparagus, holidanse (bad but taste really good), pot. and sausage. Okay not too bad....could have probably done much worse. But then bluebell cheesecake icecream!!!! I know I know! So I am going to load back up on my 32 oz. water jug and hope to get another one down before bedtime. We will see. Glad tomorrow is a new day. And I really hope the scale will not be too ugly to me in the morning.
I am gonna try almond milk too. I saw a another post and hope that will help a bit. Worried about the extra $$$ but maybe can find some decent coupons for it. Gotta go fill up my jug and get psyched for what day three will bring!!!

morning walk x 2
Okay 2nd day of taking a morning stroll! Whoop Whoop! I am so silly but really I have got to celebrate the small victories! My daughter enjoys the lake walk and its so cute to see the new little baby ducklings. It was very windy but nice out. The weather is suppose to be bad tomorrow....see I am already getting ready for my excuse! I also hear the little devil in my ear saying you really did not walk that long and what good is it doing... But ....my legs are a bit sore so I am thinking my 4 little walks (not that I am counting :) ) Must be helping some since I am sore right????? Enough about exercise. I don't like it...if I did I would not be in this situation.
The scale was nice to me this morning with 1.5 pound loss. I know everyday won't be that way but the days that it is I am going to celebrate. I was really shocked even with being bad last night. I did real good all day until after supper. I so wanted something sweet. So fudge round and glass of 2% milk it was. I then seemed full and satisfied. Went on a nice family walk and about 8 pm the cereal was calling me. So had a bowl of cereal. I guess better than cookies, donuts, or something like that. I am trying to intake more "grown" stuff. So we will see and maybe not wait so long before I eat so I am not so starved. Dinner time I was really hungry!!!
My little short term goal is that I have family pictures come up at the beginning of June. So I am trying to decide from now until then can I really make a difference? It is so my desire...really not for the photo but for some family to say..."hey you have lost some weight". We will see. I won't see them until the photo shoot so heres to hoping and cheers with the water!
Speaking of pictures! I hate my image therefore hate to have my photo taken. I am trying to get the nerve to post my picture. We will see!
Happy Water Drinking!!! I will post when I get my first 32 of the day down! I am about half way through! Gotta run to the potty!!!!

My new best friend....
Okay introduction to my new best friend, bestie, BFF, whatever you want to call him/her is (drumroll please) .........WATER. I used to hate water and never ever and I mean never consumed it at all. I was probably lucky if I even got in 8 oz. really other than being consumed inside food never ever just drank a glass by itself. I am truly a diet coke gal. Even for breakfast I wanted a diet coke with my eggs and toast. Well I keep hearing that water is the way to go. So I am trying to drink and enjoy it ALL the time. Yesterday was really my first true attempt. I have before tried to flavor it and really don't like it any better that way either. But after yesterday I am thinking maybe I can do this.....water thing. I just have to find really all the positives in it right???? Well I had to run to the potty tons of times! Just flushing down those lbs. right? Also can I blame not getting house work done because I was on the potty??? Wow and also the money I will save from not buying diet coke that will be nice too! Let me see.....give me a post and let me know your advantages of this water game!!!!!

Okay I NEED Help!
Okay I am new here and need some help!!! (Really I need it in more ways than one) I am trying to set up my weight tracker for long term and it will not allow me to change the end date for my goal. It already has today's date in the box. I have tried to highlight, delete, ect... And yes my number lock on my key pad is not on. I have got to have some visuals that I can have to see my upcoming progress!! Surely drinking water instead of diet cokes for the last two days, salad and the two walks around our HOA lake has got to allow me some satisfaction of inputing a new number on a tracker. Even if it is a number after my decimal in my pounds. I will take ANYTHING!!! If you can help with the tracker let me know!! Thanks
Also, let me know that you have stopped by and are following my blog! I NEED some cheerleaders along this journey and hope to make some friends too!
