    Sweetheart: make your day a great one tomorrow girl! Drink plenty of H2O. Be sure to measure it so you don't underestimate like I tend to do! Fill that pitcher up tonight and get it in the fridge! You will need it after that first workout in the A.M! Have a good one!:drinker:

    Happy Skinny Wednesday all! I got up this morning & started off with my belly dancing workout! I did a new one today that was mainly focused on the hips & abs, and :noway: WOW :noway: my hips are killing me after that! Quite the workout!

    I did a quick walk on my morning break, and just came in from walking during my entire lunch. Finally its a gorgeous, sunny, NON-RAINY day here in Iowa/Illinois! (I work in IA & live in IL)

    I have one more walk planned for this afternoon's break, then its off to Zumba class right after work! :bigsmile:

    Hope everyone is getting their SKINNY on! :happy:

    I'll check in later tonight!

    I'm a little late, but I would like to join......the water is never a problem for me, I drink ice water all day at work (love those thermal cups with the straws) so I'm always over on my water.
    Double the exercise will be a challenge since I shredded this morning before work...but maybe I'll just take the puppy for a long walk....
    I do log everything I eat so that part is covered...
    Will let you know tomorrow how I do....

    Half way there, 599 calories walking/running at the track, 8 glasses of water, ..hope to go swimming with the kids after supper, and for the hard part...no eating after supper (we eat early around 4:30 pm here so nothing after that is really hard for me)... :sad:

    Hey timbo....get some sugar free hot cocoa. That is a nice evening treat for about 50 cals. It is helpful if you have trouble not eating after supper. You are doing just great! :flowerforyou:

    I had a good one! Skinny Wed accomplished. Focused on getting that water in. 15 cups so far....still drinking! :drinker: Treadmill and a walk this evening. I will Shred tomorrow. I also helped clean out the garage. Man was it hot! Hope I sweat a bucket! Ate light for supper and was under my cals. All in all.....a pretty good day!

    Hot cocoa sounds like a good idea.....and did okay for challange today---went to track and swimming, finished #11 8oz glass water (can do a couple more before bed I think) but since we eat early 430 pm , I am going to have to have a little snack -- so I am having 4 oz. almond milk and a banana....not a total loss, so I am counting this as a good challange!:happy:

    Got my Zumba class done! So I ended up just shy of burning 1000 calories today! I would have liked to hit that, but I'm just too pooped after Zumba!

    An old friend who just moved back in town from California was up at the local bar & keeps texting me to come up there, but I'm so tired I had to turn him down. My neighbor/coworker went for her evening walk & asked me to go as well...and again I turned that down too.

    I'm going to turn in early tonight. Its almost 10 and Im normally up till midnight, but not tonight. Gotta get some rest so I can recharge & be ready for belly dancing at 6am! Have a good one all & see you on the Skinny Saturday! :happy:

    My Skinny Wednesday was an epic failure :laugh: It started out fine, but then I went out to dinner with family in from out of town. I ended up not working out at all and went over on calories. I'm going to work hard to have a Skinny Thursday, Friday, AND, of course, Saturday! :tongue:

    Don't consider that a failure...there are times you have to have a little extra or not get in as much exercise.....reward yourself for the times you are right on key....anyway great way to say you will just kick it up the next couple days!! It all works out in the end!! And treating yourself once in a while keeps you going!!
