mini updates

January 26th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Crooked Eyebrow, Goal setting |

Today was my second day of the couch to 5k program. I was pumped and ready to hit the treadmill right after work. The first week of the is simple and thankfully isn’t too hard for me yet. Right now my max on running is about 2 minutes, so it works. When the one minute run is up, I feel good but I am thankful to get to walk and catch my breath for 2 minutes! Overall I am really, really excited about completing the program. When I am running I picture my self skinny in a bikinifor motivation. Seriously folks. Mental imagery is totally working for me. I want my bikini back!

Remember when I posted my goal to drink the right amount of water for my weight? Guess what? I did it. Every single day I have been averaging about 90-100 oz of water. Yes, I even drink more. Fortunately I have started a routine.  First I found the largest plastic glass I have (it’s about 22ounces with ice) and I use a straw. Yes, there has to be a straw. I drink so much more and not to mention faster with one. Here is the breakdown:

*22ounces driving to work

*16 ounces by 9am

*16 ounces by 11am

*16ounces by 2 pm

*8 ounces on the drive home

*about 30 ounces at night

This has been about 108 ounces of water a day. You know what? I feel great. My skin feels and looks better as well. Of course each day varies but this pretty much has been my routine and if fits for now.  The number of trips to the bathroom are countless…How are all my sisters doing on drinking water?

    I do well to drink 72oz each day! I can't drink it ice cold-that makes me cold, but I don't drink straight from the tap either. I fill my bottles, put them in the fridge for a few hours then take one at a time, let it set out for a bit then I can drink it. Drinking water really helps with the weight loss!
  • I'm a regular reader of your blog and thought I'd check out your weightloss blog now.
    I really need to get exercising and want to purchase a treadmill. I was going to wait for the tax refund and get one, but I am just using that as an excuse I think!
    Just wondering what model you use and and a review of sorts. I know I want at least 18" wide and 50" long. I don't want to spend a ton of money, but I know getting the cheapest one would not be best.
    Looking at Horizon or ProForm at Dick's now.
    Congrats to you, keep it up!
  • I Love to drink water & love those little Raspberry Green Tea packets to toss in it too!
    A nurse/midwife I once worked with told me to imagine showering in what we are drinking. Would you want to shower in a soda & get all stinky & sticky? The inside of your body doesn't either. Visuals help me too :)
  • WOW!! Thanks for encouraging me to drink water. I am lacking in this area. I gave up Pepsi when I lost my weight but since have become addicted to Coke Zero. I am only drinking a few ounces of water a day if any at all. I am probably dehydrated too. Oh thanks again and I am going to get some water. :-)
  • WTG!! I can't wait until it's nice enough (and the sidewalks aren't full of ice) to run outside. I can't run on the treadmill for some reason. After tax season I plan to start up with the C25K program and hope to run a 5k with my family at the beginning of August.

    I also have to have ice cold water or it just tastes gross to me.
  • Way to go on the C25K program! I'm so proud of you!

    I keep a 36 oz. water bottle with me all day. I usually polish it off on the way to and from BJ's school (that's over an hour of driving) and then have to do the pee pee dance all the way into the house so I don't have an accident! Then I refill it at least 2 more times during the day, sometimes 3. I've found that I'm more thirsty now that I'm drinking more water. Like my body is telling me to drink more and more!

    I've also noticed a difference in my skin. It's not so dry and flaky, especially on my face.

    Keep up the good work!
  • Good job! Water does the body good. I drink about 160 oz a day, but that's because I am nursing : ).
  • You are kicking some serious ass hooker!

    I am doing good w/the water. I have usually consumed 64 oz by the time I get home from the gym and guzzle several more glasses throughout the day!Peeing all the time. ;o)
  • That's sort of how I first started drinking water. It had to be super cold and in a water bottle. If it wasn't like that, I wouldn't drink it! Now I just drink over 100 oz a day without even thinking about it!

    Great job!!
