WATER Challenge

[leatha_g 4]

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.

[Rebeccalee 2]

That makes me worry less since I'm not the only one it irritates.

Becky, everything was slow on this site lastnight. I kept getting booted off, then it took FOREVER to pull something up... I gave in and went to bed. Although I wouldve love to go into the chat room, just couldnt get there!

mmmmmmm, fresh baked cookies! Thats HARD to resist!

[DeLarla 22]

Okay Paula, here I am with half my jug emptied already. Remember yesterday's challenge.... huh... huh? NO JUNK food TODAY. I was making my lunch of leftover chicken Beans & cheese & was gonna toss a few tort chips in a baggie, but there was Paula's face in my kitchen, shaking her finger at me. So I left the chips behind and just brought the Protein and Water. Are we all still on?

[DeLarla 22]

Paula, where are you? It's 10:00 a.m. and I finished my daily Water. But my challenge was to do twice my water, so I'm halfway there. How you doing?

[paula 4]

oh Lisa, you certainly can make me smile!

I am VERY upset right now over some news about my surgeon (Im fixing to post something about it on another thread) - and gave in to the hershey thing. I went to Target and couldnt resist picking one up (emotional eating) and I have the monthly thing that came lastnight, so there's another reason that my self control is shot.

And there YOU are, doing so well .

Company is at the door and I REALLY need to post this stuff about my surgeon so I can get some feedback.

[DeLarla 22]

No problem, Paula. There is always tomorrow! I haven't started my 2nd bottle. I'll try to finish it after lunch. Mmmmm, LUNCH TIME! food FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD.

Water Water Water Water Pee.....

So I drank my Water, ate my slow and decent-sized band lunch.. then shoved 10 pieces of chocolate into my pie hole. I told my attorney that his homework last night was to finish off all the dark chocolate in the office by today. He didn't listen. I can pass on the milk chocolate, but the dark chocolate has me in a trance.

Lisa at least your making good choices. Dark chocolate has less sugar in it then Milk Chocolate does.

For you chocohalics out there, as I've mentioned before, I use the Viactiv active nutrition for women by women, (sorry guys), soft calcium chews. I put three in the candy dish along with my s/f hard candy, then when I have that grazing going on I reach for one of the s/f candies or the Calcium chew. It provides the calcium and sure helps with that need for choc. Just an idea.

Here I thought if I jumped on the Water thread I would find inspiration to drink lots of Water outside of meals, and what do I find but my nemesis DARK CHOCOLATE! Away, demon, away!

My own personal water challenge is not to drink water with food. I don't have trouble getting at least 64 oz. down each day, but it's almost impossible for me to resist at least a sip while I'm eating. I know my weight loss would be better if I broke this nasty habit, but it's even trickier than giving up pastry. Anyone else have this problem?

[Iluvharleys 15]

Pat I use the Viactiv chewables too. I feel like I am getting a treat twice a day! They have several different flavors and I change to a different one each time so that I don't get tired of the same ones.

[lapbander081004 7]

Hey HarleyNana I use Viagra too.

Wait you said for women let me re-read

ohhhhhhhhhh you said viactiv... Sorry misread that... Forget I said anything about viagra

[Iluvharleys 15]

Zoe - I can't have anything to drink sitting near me while I eat. I have always drank with my meals, if it is there, I drink it without even thinking. Now I put my glass far away from me for an hour.
