Water Prevents...

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

50 Lbs Gone

Well, one more pound and I hit the 50 pounds loss mark.  Keep on going!!!

Vegas is hard

I'll tell you what, staying on any type of routine is so hard when you travel.  Especially when you travel to Las Vegas.  I have had chicken and waffles and so many carbs it is ridiculous, even though I have been trying to stay on target.  It is also hard to get up and work out.  Staying motivated after walking all day is pretty much non-existent.  Pray for me and my journey, I need it!

1 Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Wow, Thanksgiving was a hard one.  I tried to do well, but I just was having such a hard time.  Can you beleive I gained 10 lbs, in just the week.  and I thought I was doing good.  Well the good news is I have worked my tail off and lost those 10lbs in just under a week.  It must have been all the salt I had.  I have been trying to stay away from salt, and so just a little threw me off my game.  I am hoping to see a few more lbs off soon.  I will let you know!

Sore Legs

Holy smokes, my legs are so sore!  But if feels good, even though it hurts when I move, at least I am moving.  Get up and move and watch the lbs come off!

It's okay to cry

Today was a tough day.  I haven't mentioned it yet, becuase I am so familiar with quitting the gym, that I didn't want to tell anyone.  Well, here it is, I have been going to the gym Monday - Thursday for the past couple weeks.  I have a great trainer and he works me hard enough, but not to hard that I pass out.  I do puck though... I know, not very ladylike.  Well, this morning I was crying before I even got out of bed.  I was sore and did not want to go.  Well, thanks to my husband, I went, I needed a little push.  I cried all the way there and my poor trainer thought someone had died.  Well, needless to say, I spent the next hour working out while crying.  Don't ask me why today was so tough, but at the end of it all, I can say "I worked out today and didn't quit".

Never Give Up!!!

Well, I lost it today.  It is hard to explain what a fatty goes through, especially when you are married to a man who has never had a food problem.  Am I the only one who has these issues?  I tried so hard to explain it, but I won't ever give up trying to lose the weight and get healthy, but sometimes it is hard and I do get frustrated.  I just want to make sure I NEVER GIVE UP!
