Losing It

I have talked about drinking water for such a long time.  I feel that this is one of the hottest topics that I have to deal with.

I for me drinking water is a hit or miss topic.  There are some days that drinking my water comes easily.  There are days that it is so hard.

I know that for me drinking water means so much more than just keeping hydrated.  Water helps me to control what I am eating.  Water helps to keep me motivated and making sure that I am going to stay on track.  Water helps me to feel that I want to go exercise.

Water is the key to my success in losing weight.  But it is also the key to my success with my depression and how I feel.  I feel great, on top of the world when I am drinking my water.  I feel that I can accomplish anything.  I am moving, and I will keep going forward.

I have noticed that when I do not drink my water something else happens - I just stop caring.  I start feeling depressed.  I am so crabby it is not funny.

So my goal - Drink the water that I need to drink

This week has been crazy.  We were out of town until late Tuesday night, Wednesday I teach and with everything going on I did not make it to curves.  My goal/plan for today is to be able to get back on the horse.  I plan on going to Curves today.  I have missed going to Curves.

On Tuesday we went to the zoo, so I got to walk around and have a good time with the boys.  I am hoping that tomorrow we can go to the zoo also.

It is supposed to be a nice day so I am planning on after my son gets home from school going for a walk or going to the park.  We don’t have much time when it is nice in Ohio from November until usually April, so I am going to take advantage of it while I can

One of the biggest challenges that faces me is to be able to stay on track when I am not at home.  At home I have control of the situation that I am in.  Being away from home I have no control of what is going on around me.  Because of this fact I know that there are so many different things that I need to start doing.

First I need to start concentrating on drinking my water.  Water is so important.  It is what will keep me on track.  I know that if I do nothing else that I need to make sure that I am drinking enough water.

I also need to stay away from sweets.  I have a sweet tooth.  If there is cake, ice cream anything like that around me then I want to eat it.  Finding the best way to get away from junk like this is important to me.

The question that I am facing is how to do this.  I need to figure out a way to step away from the sweets and step towards the water….. But how……

I have been working with the Curves smart program.  I never realized how important this program is.  I have seen that I was not working out as hard as I should be.  I am leaving the gym, and finally feeling that I got a good workout in.

The best part of this system is after the workout, reviewing the results.  It is amazing to see what muscle groups you have worked.  By knowing the muscle groups you have worked you can see which groups you need to work harder.

The computer will also tell you how many calories you have burned in that 30 minute work out.  I am amazed, yesterday I achieved 658 calories.  that is in 30 minutes.

This is a great all over work out.  You are not only getting the cardio work out which is important, you are also getting the strenght training workout.  Working hard to see results, I know that this is a great program and I will see better results that I ever imagined I could or even would see.

I started working on the cleanse.  The problem came that I started getting sick.  I had to stop everything I was doing.  I could not even go to curves because I was dizzy and just did not feel good.

I am now feeling better.  I want to look more into a cleanse to start on a new one, once I am completely healed.  I know that a cleanse is a good thing, I just need to find the right product to make sure that it is successful.

Up until the time I got sick I started feeling so much better.  I know that I would have continued seeing wonderful results if I was to stay on the cleanse.  I hope to restart it soon.
