OK, so I haven't blogged in 2 weeks so I think it is about time to give a progress report!
I will give myself a B- for my workout effort. Not to make excuses but we are now in the home stretch of school being out and I feel we are busier now then a month ago. No excuse, but it has made getting a workout in every day a challenge. I have been getting my workout in 4 days a week for the past 2 weeks. We have also had some storms so getting in the pool was a no go, but I could pop in my Pilates DVD that I haven't done since I have been unable to get up earlier. So, with that being said, I could definitely improve but I'm also really happy that I have gotten in what I have! 4 days is better than none!
I went to a weight loss seminar that my Chiropractor was giving and I'm not sure if you know this but in order to get the amount of water you need on a daily basis you need to be drinking 1/2 your body weight. I will admit that I did not know that. I thought I did good on my water intake but I was really short on the amount. So, for the past week I have upped my water intake and WOW, what a difference that has made. I feel fuller, but not bloated like I thought I would feel which has helped the afternoon munchies.
All in all I feel pretty good with how this new regime is going, but I know I can do better. I have not seen one ounce of weight loss, but I'm trying not to let that get me discouraged. I keep reminding myself that this is for health and not a number! I say that but I would still like to see that number go down.......just a little.......

Water .... Interesting! I drink a good deal of water, but weight wise?? Who knows how much weight wise I drink! I do know that I started drinking lime water (I hate lemon) and that has been FANTASTIC for helping me deal with my sweet cravings, or night munchies. When I have the urge to snack I tell myself I will enjoy a tasty glass of water w/lime (and I do really enjoy it!) and then wait 30 mins. If I still need to eat something (often I choose to go to bed early) I will *then* have an apple or something healtheyish. (yogurt and fruit smoothies are a good indulgence too)
Just a few of my tips I've discovered along the way.
