    Mini Challenge
    Sunday 1.3.19
    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise: If I can count an hour of housework which included going up and down the stairs frequently. It felt like a workout.
    I hope to get a step counter soon. Even if it's not a fancy one to begin with.

    @HASWLRS I can't wait for your book review! I'm a bookworm.

    Me too! What's the book?

    I seem to be averaging about 1-2 diet sodas a day so since I unintentionally skipped lunch w/ soda today, I think I'm gonna try skipping my second soda that I usually pair with dinner. Ill try to continue on for the next week. Wish me luck guys!

    Any recommendations on how you personally drink your water so it's not so boring?

    @Kwinnero

    I’m one of those strange folks that loves plain water. I drink drink drink it all day long! I do love ice water better than room temp, so my only experiential advice is add some ice :)

    I’ve heard people talk about no calorie flavor packets they add to water. That and drinking tea.

    Good luck on the soda to water journey

    I like my water cold(usually with ice), but can go without. I have coworkers that put fruit in their water so it has more flavor, or some make tea.

    If you like diet soda(I would rather have regular if I want a treat), there is no reason why you can't have it(surprisingly it does count towards your daily water intake!) In your days. If it is something that makes you crave other things like sweets/snacks, then I would cut it out. I get headaches with the diet stuff, unless it is coke zero for some reason!

    Besides water, I drink unsweetened ice tea or black coffee. On the days I visit my boyfriend, I will put a little cream in my coffee as a treat for the week. Oh! And a glass of wine here and there!

    I just drink regular soda. I was drinking 3 a day and now limit myself to just 1. I ended up buying Brisk tea, which is just 90 calories instead of the usual 200 calories that are in a bottle of coke. So I am sticking with that for now. Having that sweet drink has been the hardest habit to break. Especially with a meal.
    Drinking water is such a struggle. I like it better room temperature. It seems to have a more metallic taste when it is cold. I will sometimes put lemon juice in my water.

    Don't hold your breath waiting for that book review, though...I read only a few pages every night. It takes me a while to finish a book! This one is supposed to be in the vein of Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train, both of which I have read and enjoyed.

    @Kwinnero, it is called "The Widow" by Fiona Barton. I only mentioned it because I started reading it instead of pigging out on chips!!

    3/4/19 Mini Challenge
    Tracked: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Exercise: 25 minutes shoveling, 34 minutes walking

    Today was just a awful day in general. Work was awful(attitude from everyone, an hour late because of the snow...). Coming home was great, but then I got awfully emotional about everything and cried for about an hour. In reality, I had nothing major l to be upset about, but everything just started to get to me. On the bright side, I am about to walk a little just to clear my mind. I'm calling it a night soon after, because I just don't feel like myself tonight. I will have my nightly dove minis, as my little pick me up. Tomorrow I will be getting back to the gym, and I am looking forward to that!

    @cmhubbard92, hope you feel more like yourself tomorrow!!

    Mon March 4th
    Tracking: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: 24 min workout on YouTube

    @Kwinnero I used to be a huge diet coke fiend. I still crave it sometimes. When I first quit I drank a lot of carbonated water like la croix. Then I quit most carbonation (except beer!) because I was always feeling bloated. Now I mostly drink plain water or unsweetened tea. I also like the true lemon drink mixes!
