Amen sister, 3:00 is the worst! The mommy-shelf idea is brilliant and massive applause on the running. I am seriously impressed.
So, knowing how super important hydration is for health and weight loss, I just wanted to mention something that works for me and my fam. I love plain water. I also love flavor. A while ago, we started diluting the juice we drink (50%-75% water) and I love it. Regular juice is too sugary for me now. By diluting it I get flavor, anti-oxidants, lots of hydration and way less sugar AND the juice lasts longer. I also love herbal tea and herbal iced tea (I'd be happy to share recipes if there are any herbal tea drinkers out there.)
Okay, so today I had several pieces of black licorice, probably more than I needed. (Confession is cleansing for the soul, and I hope for the hips.) But tonight, I chose chamomile tea with honey over hot-cocoa. I feel happy with that decision and not in the least deprived.
I have finally recovered enough from this pernicious stomach virus that I can contemplate exercise. Megan you are an inspiration. I know I need to start exercising, I am just having a hard time getting started again. I mean, I was on a serious roll when I got slammed with that bug, and now my second-wind is nowhere to be found. Suggestions?
I love the diluted juice idea! I'll be jumping on that wagon asap.
ReplyDeleteAbout the second-wind, the only thing that works for me is to 'just do it.' I find that the more I exercise the more I want to exercise. It is the same with eating right too. The first step is to put on those stretch pants and then pray for the strength to get going. All the rest will fall into place. Good luck with it!
