My Eyeballs are Floating!!!

Wow! Who would have thought drinking so much water would radically change how you think...what you do...and your entire schedule! And...all for good benefits! Bertha -- I am thanking you around the clock for this challenge! :)

I do have to say that I am getting much better at being able to drink the water and manage it throughout the day. As soon as I get a free moment I'm going to the store and buy be one of those big water bottles so I can keep it with me all the time.

Still a challenge for me to work out on the road. Gotta figure a way to do that. Tough when I am working on 4 hours of sleep so trying to figure all that out. I did however start my day with 30 minutes of aerobics this morning. I love me some wii!!! And I am Jazzed about my finish to the 1st week!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT day & staying focused on the goal~~

Believe & work hard to make it happen!
Here's to your next drink of Water!
CHEERS!

Water, water, water

Alrighty, so remember 8 oz. is only a cup. I do better when I break it up. I have 2 cups from the time I get up until I leave for work, through out the day I drink 32 oz, then when I get home 2 more cups! Keep it up, we can do this! Have a great Wednesday :) B

STEP AEROBIC QUEEN

Well...I used to be the Jane Fonda Queen! I remember leg warmers and head bands and all the aerobic courses I taught! Yes - I taught! But now I am trying to get back into this fitness world. The wii is cranked up and today before I did anything I started working out on the wii. I did 30 minutes of aerobic activities. I did the step aerobics and the jogging. Both I still am only getting 1 star but I have been beating my time. So it is a start. I am in a hotel tonight and for the next 2 nights so my challenge will be getting to workout while I am on the road.  Hope you guys are working out! Excited and committed to make this happen!!

Now... as for the water challenge! You have got to be kidding me!! I started the day with 2 glasses of water & my eyeballs were floating! Then I dumped the 3rd glass in a measuring cup and realized each glass was 16oz instead of the 8oz I thought! I was happy!!! I did get all the water in -- but let me tell you...I was not a happy camper to have to pee on the plane. I finally gave in when my kidneys were about to bust.

Final thing for today...had to figure out how to eat heathy in an airport. Found me a restaurant that served Turkey Burgers on whole wheat and then got a side salad instead of fries. Looked up the points on my iphone and it was great. By the way --- love turkey burgers!

Hope everyone is doing fantastic!!!
You can do it!!! Love reading the posts! Good one Bertha!!!

Go Girls!!!

Surrender

Here we go, Ladies! I am really trying to figure out what is driving me to not do what I am suppose to do to lead a healthy lifestyle, so I read this that said, we have to surrender control and do things God's way. Here is a verse that can apply to every part of our life. I'm praying you have a great week! B
"So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in His good time He will honor you" 1 Peter 5:6
