    Still having a hard time drinking water

    Jenny - Why are you struggling with water? Is it the taste or just remembering to drink it? I struggled in the beginning also. I started by adding flavor ;lemon or splash of fruit juice! to my water and just concentrating on increasing my intake by adding another 8 ounces every day until I felt I had enough. I drank water when I woke up and with each meal. Don't get too hung up on the number. Urine should be a pale shade of yellow.

    Resist the urge to go get a Carmel Apple from the bakery! My husband suggested maybe going this weekend and I made the mistake of looking online at the website. Food Porn for sure! Just for today I will stay away.

    This is my 25th day on MFP and I am trying to be more realistic about my efforts. I did too much to begin with and emotionally it set me back. So...making goals Just For Today is exactly what I need.

    So JFT...
    1. say no to pizza
    2. say no to diet soft drinks
    3. drink only water
    4. walk 3,000 steps
    5. stay within sodium limit

    Thinking of everyone today! Each day we learn from our efforts is a GREAT DAY!
