OK guys, its Monday morning. I need to get my butt back into high gear.

No weight loss, feeling slow and sleepy from all the holiday carbs, eating too much and too often.... I need help! So Im getting back to the basic's - Water intake!

I (honestly speaking here) am only drinking about 20 oz's a day - ouch! And I feel it.

So TODAY is the day!!!!

Ive got my two - 20oz AquaFina water bottles full and Im determined to drink each one - 2 times! So thats 80oz's of water, a little more then 1/2 a gallon. This should be enough to get me started in the right direction.

ANYONE else interested in this challenge???

Ive never done a challenge before, so I have no idea on the rules.

I just know that I need help.... YOUR help!!!!!!!

BANG BANG BANG

Lucky for you I'm a bad shot LOL

My doctor said, "absolutely NEVER drink with meals." Since today's been one constant meal, how am I supposed to drink my water? The water cooler is next to the evil bag of chocolates.

Paula, this is the first day since you started this challenge that I've done halfway decent on my waterload! Boy, those bad habits are easy to start and very hard to break! Now, if I can do this good on stopping carbs.

I got my water in everyday! Yesterday I drank so much I got up all night!

This darn challenge worked. I got half my water in.

I put Crytal Light in my little jug. I forgot that it irritates my throat. Weird, huh? I am getting in my water, though, and it tastes good.

Lisa, Im gonna check at Walgreens for that little cooler. Dont worry about the chocolate's... my fetish lately has been a hershey bar w/ almonds. Ive had *2* today. duhhhh, no wonder Im gaining weight!

Becky, Betty and Greg, you are making us SICK!!!!!

The rest of us are here are gaining weight, fighting with chocolates, eating tons of carbs... and you three are leaving us to inhale your dust!!! This is supposed to be a hardship challenge, and you 3 are having too easy of a time! blahhh! (Im just jealous - hehehe)

Marie, Michelle, Lisa (and ANYONE else, just let me know)... I have an idea! Lets try to have no junk food tomorow. Just try it for 1 day and see if we can do it. Maybe it will be the day that gets us back on track. I cant do it without someone else (isnt that stupid?) - so even if you lie to me and tell me that you are gonna do it, thats fine cause I wont know any dfferent !

So for me, no hershey w/almonds or doritos tomorrow. Just protiens, salad and H2o!!!

Paula, you have me mixed up with someone else! I ate 2 bags worth of peanut m&m's at the movies yesterday -- and didn't drink my Water.

I am one bad cookie!

Ok Paula..I just finsihed my gallon of Water for the day..

I have to say I went all day today with no junk food. First time in 3 weeks..I think it was from all thewater and all the peeing I was doing just did not have time

I will do it again tomorrow with you..great idea! NO JUNK FOOD!

Rebecca, funny you should mention the Crystal Light irritating your throat..it had the same affect on me today but not until I was at the 2nd half of my gallon. I use 1 of those little plastic containers of crystal light which makes 2 quarts for the entire gallon so it is not so sweet..

Yeah, mine was diluted, too. I think I'll go back to herb tea.

I only had one cookie. Probably because it was the last one! DH is planning to make some. I want him to hide them. I am WEAK! Absolutely no junk tomorrow!

Paula, that was pretty funny because sometimes we read what we want to see, and I thought you were offering that we all ate nothing but junk food for an entire day tomorrow. I was all about that, instantly planning all the crap I'd buy at 7-11 in the morning. But then I read it a 2nd time, hahah, joke's on me. You're on, girlie. NO JUNK FOOD for one whole day. None. Protein and veggies, not even a carb. I'll do Michelle's-double-water-pee thing to keep me busy. I think I can, I think I can, I think... I know I can, I KNOW I can.

Let me know if you can't find the little jug. It makes me feel very important, cuz I know I don't have to measure or get up off my fat butt to re-fill it. When it's empty, I'm done. But tomorrow I shall do two of them to keep me away from the junk!

It's funny, but I was so dedicated for the first few months. Now I really want my DH to make those cookies. I hear them calling to me. I guess that's what happens when I start eating a bunch of carbs, or whatever else I want.

Come chat, guys!

Paula got me mixed up too. LOL I gained two pounds this week.

Oh well got to put a halt to this madness.

I put Crytal Light in my little jug. I forgot that it irritates my throat. Weird, huh? I am getting in my Water, though, and it tastes good.

It irritates my throat too, but I think it helps to go ahead and mix it with more water to sort of cut the acidity.
