Water has no taste. My mom says that even as a baby, she had to put maple syrup or honey in my water to get me to drink it. Also, bear in mind that I don't drink a lot anyway. I don't drink with/after each meal, and I rarely, if ever, get thirsty. Before becoming health conscious, on average, I would drink one cup of coffee a day, and I may drink about 8 oz of sweet tea, or maybe nothing else after that morning coffee.So it's not just the fact that I don't like water, it's also that I'm forcing myself to drink when I'm not even thirsty.
Luckily for me I LOVE water. However, this first Sunday my mom made her famous sweet tea, and it was PAINFUL not getting a glass or 4. And I hate giving up my Hawaiian Punch and lemonade, but I'ma stick wit it.Dang....that's all you could do, 4 years? Where's your will power?I kid, I kid. That's impressive ma'am, just get back on track!
Good Bly!!I went 4 years without a soda. Went to a cookout, had a NuGrape and got all off track. I'm still mad at myself!!
That's awesome! I don't think I could ever do thatCS: Thinking about this week's cheat meal....Pizza or Soul Food....
Determined to eat right from now on. Whole foods. Chicken, Steak, Turkey, Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts. Also, Protein shakes, Water, and Creatine.I'm going the straight and narrow yall. Pray my strengf. Pray my strengf.
To be honest, I lost all motivation to lose the 10 lbs I wanted to lose, and to watch my diet. I tried on some clothes yesterday and looked stunning in them. LOL! Okay seriously, I am still serious about exercising and eating right (because I believe that's key to clearing my skin, and because I believe it's my responsibility as a woman of God to take care of the my temple)... Some friends at work are doing a Biggest Loser competition and I'm in on it. I don't expect to win because my goal is to tone, not to lose that much. But I'm looking forward to all the exercising we have planned. We're doing a "Race to the Top" Challenge today at 11:30 (taking the stairs from the lobby to the 21st floor), but I told them I'll do the "Crawl to the Middle" challenge and go from Lobby to 10.
What else is new?
LOL @ Crawl to the middle.
I would just like to announce that not only did I make it to the top (21 flights of stairs), I actually WON the race to the top! I was the first one to make it.
Me too. I've been in the gym like crazy and eating good for the most part, and I'm still not losing much weight. I guess I need to cut out more sugar.
I was going to mention that the other day when we were chatting. Cut out both sugar and salt. That alone made a huge difference for me.
Yeah, I was still drinking "juice" with dinner, though I have water with breakfast and lunch. I also drink tea and coffee sometimes with sugar.
Try switching from sugar to splenda...
