One Day at a Time (no, not the one with Valerie Bertinelli), Day Three:

I feel so great, truly. I'm drinking water, avoiding sugar, and that's about it. Oh, and the Tea of Awesome.

My joints actually bend decently, I can walk a distance without a)getting winded, b) having excruciating calf pain. My blood sugar is coming down, and I'm AWAKE during the day, which is a big plus.

I have also lost three pounds of water weight. My pants aren't tight anymore. :D!

I am doing this for ME. I don't care if that three pounds is water-weight. I'll take it! I am losing weight for my health only, so I can be around for my husband and son. I'm going to take care of ME. I can't wait for anyone to do it for me.

I will concentrate on one day at a time, one meal at a time, one decision at a time. I will have my water each day and I will not eat anything that comes out of a drive through window.

Eventually, I will incorporate more fruit and vegetables into my diet. But that will come in time.

This time, I must succeed. And I will.

(wow, maybe I should have the music from a battle scene in LotR inserted here) :)

Like anything else, it's best to work up to the right amount of water gradually. So you're doing GREAT. 80 oz of water in one day is a grand accomplishment. ♥

:) I drink most of it at work, it's just easier that way.

I only have two glasses at home. I can't believe how awake I feel.

It's my humble opinion that there's not a single thing that's good for us in soda, either diet or regular. I always feel worse -- and more thirsty -- after drinking it.

So I rarely do.

Yeah. It was starting to make me feel really sort of awful so I just stopped and determined not to drink it as much as possible.
