    I want to stay under my calorie goal and drink my water. If I manage that today I will be pleased.

    I want to up my intake of water. I drink loads of mint tea - sometimes home made - just mint leaves and water - does that count?

    Absolutely! Even the Mayo Clinic allows almost ALL fluids to be part of your intake....of course some are much better for you than others. Alcohol is the glaring exception, you lose more water than it replaces. Even caffeinated beverages are OK, though, so coffee or tea are also countable. The best indicator of your hydration is a clear, pale urine. Darker, less frequent urination may indicate the beginning of dehydration. Now if we are only talking weight loss, then water is the hands down winner. But if you are like me, and struggle to slurp down plain tap water (even Evian!) then these new findings take a lot of pressure off. Enjoy your mint tea....sounds yummy.

    Sunday is generally my best day at the gym..........I go pretty early and so it's not as crowded. Hoping to get dead lifts and a swim in. The pool gets crowded so I have to get there pretty early to get a lane.

    Have a nice Sunday everyone!

    Today I am going shopping for a dress for a wedding. My goal is to not hear the siren call of the food court and Cinnabons. Also, have gotten a good start on my water so want to get to 8 today!

    Today it is water, not exceeding calories and doing some exercise. Raining so not getting my walk in. Guess old Jillian will have to do for today.

    Great goals for the day girls.

    Today is a dog walk day for me.....hopefully I'll be brave and jog for part of it. My hip's back to being a bit sore after yesterdays workout so it depends how it feels when I start my walk. Either way.............we'll walk a fast 3 to 4 miles.

    Nice work anyway BBee.............can't help what our friends do and we can't be rude either.

    Yesterday...........got my jog/run in with my dog and my hip felt fine. We went 3.1 miles at a 4mph pace.

    Today..........I've already been to the gym and killed by my trainer so I'm going to try to not eat any chocolate!
