Water check-in

I still have loads of improvement to make, but as promised, here is my H2O update for the day: 42 oz.

Tomorrow I'll hit the goal of 64oz.
Guaranteed.

What a week it has been! On Thursday September 1st I broke the 200 pound mark. I finally weighed in the 100's. ....albeit just shy of 200 but I will claim every ounce of it.

I didn't think it would be such a big deal, since it has been coming "gradually" (lol) for the last 5months and I have been teetering on the precipice for a few weeks now. I didn't have a huge reaction, but I admit that a few tears found their way out into the open.

It's weird to think that I am within 28 pounds of my initial goal weight. I should be able to accomplish that by Thanksgiving. That is just a bit more than 2 pounds a week. Sure, I might be able to get it done faster, but I have no idea if the weight loss is going to slow down now that I am closer to the end.

I am able to eat more on most meals, which is a good thing given that my activity level has increased. I can't tell you how annoying it is to work out and feel like crap for the rest of the day. It happened several times while we were in Idaho and I hated it. Granted, some of it may have to do with being a bit dehydrated as well.

I remember in 2001 when I was doing Weight Watchers, I was drinking at least a gallon of water a day and I didn't have a bit of trouble losing then. So, look for a water log to be posted for this next week. You can help keep me accountable.
