Sort of in the same vein as what I asked Sarah above, do you think this is a habit you won’t continue because you don’t NEED to continue it OR is it a habit you won’t continue because you find it difficult and/or unenjoyable? (And, fair warning, it could be either or both and that’s ok!)

Again, me doing my job!

Do you think that drinking the recommended amount of water is not a habit you’d like to work toward, or was it that you felt like it was too much too soon?

(NOTE: I don’t have an opinion either way but that question popped into my mind as I read your response. So that is to say don’t take that as any kind of suggestive…[Read more]

Feel free to think out loud here! I have a few meals planned out. The big exception to next week will be date night. We usually do dinner and some sort of activity and that is IMPORTANT time! But other than that, I’m packing 🙂

I’m so proud of you for seeking alternate ways of getting to YWM2017!!!

I pray that the dr & others see the value & assist you with meeting your goal.  I have faith you will succeed!

I definitely think this challenge has helped. My weekly goals before this challenge were to get my liquids in everyday. I was struggling with that. Now I’m hitting my liquids goal consistently.

As for the no eating 60 minutes before bed, I’ve learned that I have to have it no farther out than 30 minutes or I’ll be awake in the middle of the night…[Read more]

I’m tired today and have no idea why. But, steps are done, liquids are almost done.

Breakfast was a Premier Protein shake mix with coffee and heated up

Lunch was some homemade chicken salad and some apple

Dinner will be meatloaf and green beans

And bedtime will be early!

I will take the liberty of adding context. 😉

Konica would like to go to Obesity Action Coalition’s “Your Weight Matters” Convention in August in New Orleans. To do so, she would need to secure a sponsorship and plans to ask her doctor’s office and a few other places to drum up support. This requires a letter. She has started writing it but needs…[Read more]

You guys are doing awesome with the water!

Well I give you an A for effort!

Yeah see I don’t want you to spend money if you think that you are likely ignore the thing. But it is important to get enough water! (Dehydration = not fun.) So let’s keep thinking together about ways to improve your water intake.

Rome wasn’t built in a day!

I’m really glad you’re here. I haven’t said that in a while. 🙂

Are you just trying to drink plain water or do you flavor it? Also do you have a smart phone? Before you try something like Ulla, you might try an app like Plant Nanny.

Are you just trying to drink plain water or do you flavor it?

I’m so proud of you!

Yep, I am going to do my workout tonight. But in general I love the idea of texting to say I am doing it and I did it. It was kinda fun waiting to hear from you too!

Thats true but…apps are easy to ignore. (Especially in situations where you are not paying attention to your phone, like at work.) Ulla is not!

80 ounces in, unplugged most of the day. I ended up having to get up and have a snack not long after I went to bed last night. I had my snack just before bed so I could sleep through the night, but before I made it to bed, my husband and I had an unexpected adventure. He was out back letting the dog have one last trip to do her business and caught…[Read more]
