It's been awhile since I posted anything so I thought I'd take a few minutes and let you all know how things are going.
- I'm 1 1/2 pounds away from losing 60 pounds. I really want to be in the 250s by Christmas so I've got to get my shit together.
- I went to the gym tonight for the first time in almost two weeks. I really didn't want to go but I knew I needed it. When I go to the gym regularly then I want to go and I look forward to it. When I slack off for more than 3 days then it takes a cattle prod to get me back. I have to stop being a slacker.
- I'm doing better drinking my water. I'm getting about 72 ounces a day. I got one of those nifty water bottles from Target that has the counter on the cap like Amy W had a while ago. It's a 24 ounce bottle. I set a task reminder on my computer at work and I keep hitting the snooze on it for 15 minutes. So every 15 minutes I get a reminder that pops up on my screen that tells me to drink water. It's cheesy but it works and I'm finally getting enough water in me.
- We went to Utah last weekend. It was a fabulous weekend. We got to have dinner with Lara (Band Babe) and her husband and son. They are a such a cute family!! And I swear Lara has lost another 10 pounds since Chicago. She is SO beautiful. Seriously, I want to be her when I grow up. I'll probably write more about our Utah weekend later.
That's about all I have for now. Everybody have a great week!
I have one of those water bottles too & I LOVE it! Cheesy or not, I may steal your idea and set reminders for my water. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! You are so close to the big 6-0! You will be there soon. I am so glad to hear you are doing so well... I have been slacking off and have to get my act together. I am getting a fill in a couple weeks... I miss you Roomie! *Maria*
ReplyDeleteI think setting a reminder on your computer is a great idea! I might just have to borrow that one from you! What is this water bottle you speak of?
ReplyDeleteSo very very close to 60lbs. Be proud!
And you didn't come see me? boo-hoo
ReplyDeleteIf I move to UT for grad school, I will require a visit as well. :) That's years in the future though. Congrats on the almost 60- you're almost there! You can do it girl- I know you can. And you'll feel so good once it's done. Have you ever lost 60 before? That's a huge chunk! GOOD JOB!!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo- D
So jealous that you got together with Band Babe!
ReplyDeleteYeah for almost 60!
Sooooo jealous about you and Lara. Did you hug her for me at least? I miss you both terribly!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting to almost 60 lbs down- that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI`m the same way re: the gym, miss 2 workouts and it takes 7 days to get back into the swing of things.
