    Ok I have not been doing the water thing. Its hard to be drinking that much and not be in the bathroom all the time at work! What is the physiology of the water? Is it just to feel full? I will try tomorrow.

    I am doing good on the exercise. I did 30 minutes of ellipitical and 15 minutes bike tonight.

    Water was definitely easier today -- Target 124 oz. and drank 128. I spread it out a lot more over the day than yesterday. Managed to convince myself to do a 9:30p in-hotel-room workout for another 30 mins.

    90 mins total exercise for Days 1 & 2

    :happy: :happy:

    defiantly pleased with my process, 4 more lb off this week, im well on plan to meet my 12 week target. 1lb a week over next 11 weeks should be doable.
    I do have a big weekend away and a few family meals out over the next few week, but i will prepare and plan.And should be ok.
    30 more minutes of exercise today, so 60 in total so far for the week. And more to come tonight.

    I am not reaching my water quota! But I'm drinking more than I was, so I guess that's progress. I drank a full bottle at the gym this morning and am working on another 22 oz. this morning. Here is an article about why water is important: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/6-reasons-to-drink-water

    For me, I think it helps get rid of bloat. It just seems to flush things out!

    I made it to the gym again this morning - yay! Today is my easy day, so I did 10 minutes on the bike to loosen up and lifted weights for 30 minutes. Last year my goal was to get my butt to the gym. This year it is to keep going to the gym and start doing more toning. So far so good!

    Drinking water has never been an issue for me, but right now I'm feeling like I'm going to float away. I trying with the water, but 187 oz (plus additional workout oz) doesn't seem to work for me. I always judge my water intake by my urine output and color, so I'm going to cut back a little bit. The teacher cannot run to the bathroom every 20 minutes because she is drinking that much water :)

    Been reading something about water intake and over diluting your sodium causing hyponutrinia (sorry cant spell). Apparently your body will as a rule expel excess water but if you start getting headaches you might need to cut back a bit.
