Week 1 Challenge - Water, H2O, Aqua...at least 8 cups a day

Now let me start by saying, I have this challenge in the bag....Monday to Friday that is.  For the past few weeks, I have had a purple, litre sized water bottle at work.  It is great, I fill it up first thing with cold, bottled water, get another at lunch, and if I haven't spent too much time in the bathroom, I may go a third.  The weekend is a different story.  For whatever reason, eating and water are harder on the weekend.  I am not sure why I make it sound like I don't know the reason.  Of course the weekends are harder, they aren't as structured.  It is easier during the work week, you pack something specific for lunch and hopefully have a dinner planned.

Day 1 has been good.  Water - done!  I had a great quinoa salad for lunch and am having perogies (boiled with salsa) and a green salad.  With my hubby and 2 oldest kids away, I have not had the chance to get to the gym this week.  But they are back tomorrow, so the exercise will begin again.  Not fun how in your 30's, you have to do both the exercising and the eating healthy.  But it is what it is, so I will do what I can.

My day 1 weight is 201.7 lbs - yuck.  My measurements, are not done, and will not be pretty.  I will post them as soon as I have them done.

On a sad note, I heard today that a co-worker of mine passed away.  We do not know how yet.  I did not know him well and didn't work directly with him.  But he seemed like such a nice man, always had a great smile.  Not old and with a little boy, it is a brutual reminder that life is too short and that you don't always know what is going to happen next.  So live every day to the fullest and don't put off to tomorrow what can be done today.

That's it - have a great night.
