I figured I would get this started tonight in case we have some early, early risers. :wink:

Don't forget to post your daily water goal.

I am going to try and drink 2 of my 52 ounce bubba keg.

    I'm gonna start out with the 64 ounces and see if I can do it. I haven't really been watching my water so I'll start with that and then increase.

    When you start a new thread could you possibly put the link on the old thread? That way it's easy to find for anyone who doesn't catch it right away.

    Thanks for the water reminder! :flowerforyou:

    Recently got laid off so all my patterns are screwed up! :grumble: :noway:

    I usually drink one 32 oz. bottle before lunch,
    another one after lunch + one more when I go to the gym.

    So glad Halloween is over! I would like to say that I was strong and avoided the candy... :cry: but I was taught not to lie. Somewhere around 20 pieces!! :noway:

    Oh well, today is a new day :happy:

    Back to counting the calories, drinking the water, and moving the butt :tongue:

    Shelley130---I also had a rough weekend with food. Grrrr!

    Is it totally pathetic that I had to send the Halloween candy to work with my husband b/c I can't be trusted with it here????

    Good Morning all. I did pretty good this weekend but I have to admit it was a SERIOUS struggle not to indulge. :ohwell: I did allow myself to have 2 mini 3 musketeers and guess what.. I really did not enjoy them. MMM. guess getting all the garbage out of your system really does make you crave the food that is good for you! :smile:

    My water goal for today is 128oz I already have 32 down :happy:

    I just had to share with you guys...
    When I started this voyage almost 3 week ago I was on my own. I chose not to push and I have learned it only made my husband go the opposite direction. But, this morning he asked if he could have a salad for lunch and last night he worked out for the first time in a long time! He is finally starting to make healthy decisions on his own! :happy: Whoo Hoo.. I am so excited! Just wanted to share!! Thanks for listening! :smile:

    Question: Are we only counting water as water? I love green tea and I drink it all the time. I was wondering if I could count that in anyway?

    Hello lovelies!!!

    Dawnannw - Woot Woot to your hubby!!!:drinker: That's wonderful for him and I hope he keeps it up!! You guys will be new healthy stuff in no time!!! :love: :blushing: :smooched:

    Fatty 78 - the whole debate on whether tea counts as water has truly been "interesting" to say the least on here. I think, and this is just my personal opinion, if you aren't adding anything to your green tea (sugar, honey, etc) then it should count as water. That's just my 2 cents. :flowerforyou:

    Halloween was pretty easy for me because my nieces weren't home so all of that bad candy is at their dad's house.:laugh: :bigsmile: But I did have a small piece of cheesecake this weekend. I don't feel too bad because it could have been a huge piece. Plus I worked out 5 days last week (including doing 1 1/2 hours on Sat) and have bumped my workouts up to twice a day (15 mins in AM and 30 in PM).

    Have a great day peeps!!!

    Hey gals,

    dawnannw, yay for your husband. Let's hope mine heads in that direction he is a diabetic and I would love to have him around a lot longer !!!!

    fatty78 , I am with lashawn tea is almost all water, so I would count it as water. (Even with a sweetner in it)


    leshawnturner, 1 peice of cheesecake is not going to undo any of your hard work. I believe we need to be able to eat a pc. of cheesecake once in a while. Congrats on the exercise that is great.

    Yay!!! I'll have no problem getting in my water today then. lol.

    Now if I could only finish this paper. Ugh.

    I can't wait to work out tonight. I've been so busy with school lately I just haven't had time. I am going to the gym after my class tonight. I can't wait.

    I should have read this earlier to see the reminder about the water!!! I think I'd like to shoot for at least 100oz of water daily. I'm going to assume the bottle that I refill at my desk holds approx 20oz, so I'm not tracking so well today. I think I've had maybe 1-1/2 bottles. Time to start drinking!!!

    I'm happy to say that I made it thru halloween w/out having a single piece of candy. It just really wasn't worth it to me. Sadly, when I got back to work this morning, my bucket was pretty full (the trick or treaters at work didn't empty me out), so I sent my bucket circulating and it hasn't been back since this morning!! :tongue:

    Dawnannw--that's awesome about your hubby! I hope he keeps it up!

    Good morning everyone! Well, yesterday I failed miserably with my water so here I am to try again. I woke up in a bad mood, grrrrrrrrrrrr. Mostly b/c I am tired (Saints played Monday night football so it was a late night) and also b/c I am stressed with the holidays coming up, my soon to be 2 yr olds b-day in a couple of weekends and our disney world trip. Not to mention trying half heartedly (sp) to eat well. This is just one of those days that I really just want to climb back in bed and watch tv, kwim??? Oh well, this will pass.

    I hope everyone else is having a much better day!!

    Today I am running running running with with my job today (2 conferences at the same time)!! I got in my AM workout but I didn't meet my goal yesterday for water (my goal was 80 and i only got 69:grumble: ). I am having the same trouble trying to get my eating to be great. Its okay now and I have my good days and my bad days. And some days it makes me feel worse that my co-worker just lost about 100lbs in less than a year doing medifast but when I looked at it it was expensive and even she said the food was disgusting:noway: !! How am I supposed to follow a plan with digusting food??? So I just keep trying to do what I know is right and hope that the scale finally starts to move:ohwell: . I hadn't planned on griping when I started writing, sorry...

    I hope everyone has a great day and drink:drinker: drink:drinker: drink:drinker: !!!!
