So I’ve been talking about this super useful gadget I have been using to help me drink water. I made a little video to show it to you!

But TIP: My friend Nikki who owns, My Bariatric Box, is putting these in her July box. So for a few dollars more than this thing costs, you…[Read more]

Once my stupid phone uploads this video to YouTube I’ll show you the device that’s been helping me with my water. Until then…how ya doing???

We’ve got 10 days left in this challenge, so if you are still working your way up to 72 oz. of water, try to consciously increase what you’ve been getting by 4 oz. per day from this point forward. You can do it!

This is something I’ve had to remind myself of frequently over the past nine years. Sometimes I have to remind myself many times in a day.

Hunger is not an emergency. It’s just not!

Why do I say that? Well, a few reasons:

The human body is actually built to withstand food for a good amount of time. Estimates are that the body can survive…[Read more]

I’ve been thinking about this concept a lot. Non-negotiables.

I feel like when I see someone really successfully losing weight and maintaining their weight loss and living good habits in the long-term, it’s because they’ve made doing those things non-negotiables. They tend to say things like, “I don’t eat X” or “I have to go work out this…[Read more]

Monday! (Why do I sound so excited?)

Today I work and then (gasp!) I think I may have a free evening for once. I’d like to go to the lake and walk because I haven’t in a while.

Woke up this morning and took the dog for a walk. Got back, and filled my water cup for the first time (20 oz.), got that down, did breakfast (egg+ wheat toast) and then…[Read more]

This was originally scheduled for tonight but I bumped it to next week as I discovered I need to order more vitamins!

I’d like to participate with everyone else so I am pushing this back.

Also this gives me a chance to say more about what this is, why we are doing it, and how often so that folks participate.

Question: Regardless of how much water you’ve been getting…is the pursuit of water starting to feel routine to you?

It is to me!

I’m super excited because @kathy-p and I are going to be workout buddies! Basically we’re going to agree to work out one day this week and check in with each other when we show up for the workout. This is going to be mutually beneficial because I have been inconsistent about activity at best, neglectful at worst! So looking forward to that. I also…[Read more]

Sorry this post is so late, but I’ve been working my butt off trying to finish this photography assignment! I think I’m done. I may have to reshoot one dish but other than that…I’m done!

But my focus on snapping photos has taken away from my focus on water so…sigh. But there’s still time to make a decent showing.

Since I said we didn’t have…[Read more]
