Welcome to Day 2!
Today is again about water. Water is very important for your body, considering our bodies are like 75% water.
Now, I will be the first to admit that I was never good about drinking water. When I was a kid, my mom limited our sodas to one per day (usually dinner). When I grew up, I started drinking soda more and more. I loved it.
But now, after I have been off and on drinking only water (I usually have a glass of milk with breakfast and dinner.. I love milk) I go to drink a soda and it feels wrong on my tongue. Like, too slippery or something. Except fountain sodas. They are still good. But I MUST SAY NO! I usually am pretty good. I no longer want to drink my calories.
Here is about how much water you should be drinking:
Your body weight (in pounds) ÷ 2 = targeted ounces of water per day.
It's a lot, right?! Well, at my current weight at 264 (I'm not going to weigh myself until the book tells me to.. no matter how much I want to!) that means I need to drink 132 ounces a day! Wow! Well, I have probably 32 under my belt so far for the day. Only 100 left to go! I'm going to try and build up to that. And drink water all day long, rather than wait until I'm dehydrated!
AM Affirmation: I believe in my ability to improve my health, my attitude and my life. I am worthy of the best that life has to offer and today I have the opportunity to get closer to realizing my dreams and goals.
Today’s Actions:

This is me today: (Well, a few weeks ago,, on our vacation)
This is a picture of the life I want!
This isn't just about my weight. This is the life I want. I want to be able to have a nice savings account. I want to be Dakota's wife and have a family. I cannot wait to be his wife. I want a kick-ass career that I will be confident in myself, and love what I do. Oh, and make money at it. I want to wear short skirts and not feel self conscious. I want to have a love of exercise. The journal says that tomorrow we will take steps toward this life.. I know someday that this will be my life. I just think that losing weight will help my self confidence to get there..
Evening Questions.. because I'm late.
Write down what was positive about today.
I bench pressed today with Dakota. It was fun. He made me laugh. And my arms are sore. So I would say that's a win, yes?
What one or two things can I do tomorrow to make it a more positive day?
Get up and exercise in the morning!
PM Affirmation: I am thankful for today and the chance that I had to improve my life. I forgive
myself for any shortcomings I may have had, and I look forward to the opportunity that tomorrow
brings to take action toward my goals!
Have a great night, loves. Stay awesome.
Wow. That seems like a lot of water. I am totally not a water drinker but I really shoudl be.
ReplyDeleteI am so not good at drinking water! I try, but it's not always easy to remember. I love that you're focusing on every aspect of your life and not just weight, that's awesome.
