Ok I have to admit that drinking water definately scares me. I am not a water drinker...I drink things with water like coffee and soda and tea and well you get my point. But today I was given some really great advice on water drinking and how to incorporate it into my life without hating it altogether. So if you are anything like me, listen up. You know how (if your like me) you go to the store to take a break or to get yourself a little treat of soda or bottled yumminess...instead, walk in, get your 32 oz or 48 if your brave and fill it up with ice just like you usually do, but this time fill it with water, not soda or somekind of fruity drink. Just plain water from the fountain. Then put your lid on it and shove that straw in and take a big healthy soda guzzling swallow of that fresh ice cold water. Walk up and pay your 15 cents (instead of the normal 80 -1.50) and walk out with your yummy good for you water and use it just like you would that soda, and be happy. I have drank, thanks to my friend andrea's advice, 64 oz of water and I barely noticed! Not only that but it kept me from craving other drinks, I didnt even have one soda today! YEAH ME!
Ok now to the day of food and cravings. I did ok except when I got to my friends house and her very nice mother offered me a cookie. I almost accepted, then quickly refused due to remembering I am on a diet, and then was told they were not that high in carbs or fat because they were pumpkin cookies. I chose to believe them and devored the whole tub of cookies all at once in front of them...just kidding. I ate one and was quite satisfied believing them and having my cookie too. Just dont tell me any differently or I might have guilt.
For lunch I had a piece of turkey on the way out the door to my massage...but when I got to work at the restaurant later I ate a lettuce turkey wrap with tomatoe and onion and less then a teaspoon of mayo. For dinner I ate a Salmon and lettuce with olives and lemon juice for flavor and it was delicious!
I did take a Formula One, which is a energy slash diet pill, I told you I would be honest. It has alot of natural herbs and supplements and does help with appetite.
I am quite pleased with myself tonight considering all the alternatives. I mean I work at a restaurant with awesome burgers and homemade fries and anything with an abundance of calories available at my beck and call..but I did not call them today.
Tomorrow I will start again and hope some of this information helps you, that is if anyone actually reads this.
Happy Weightloss and Dieting!
