This morning I was able to get up and work w/ a client. It felt good to get back into the swing of things. I love working w/ other people because it is just motivating. I've gone walking (w/ neighbors) the last few days and again this morning. I'll probably do a run later today because it is just beautiful, overcast, and asking me to.
I'm hoping that the scale will be happy with me on Sunday. I've been drinking loads of water yesterday and today. (As noted by my hundreds of trips to the restroom.) I honestly think I've already drank OVER 50oz of water this morning alone.
I haven't been tracking my calories strictly, but I have been eating a lot of fresh and/or homemade food. Yummy... Gotta' keep pressing forward.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
A lack of exercise can cause fatigue, weakness, and lethargy. It all makes sense, but it's so hard to get out of a funk once you're there. Just get up and go for a walk. Don't worry about putting on work-out clothes or anything, just go. Just get up and do some jumping jacks. Right now! And then, go for a walk, do some lunges, and come back and feel much better about yourself. You'll also have just increased your energy expenditure which will mean you should have a bit more energy to expend tomorrow. Happy exercising!

Time for a new Challenge
It's time for a new challenge! Here it is!
Get at least 8 cups of water daily!
Water is vital to the body functioning properly. Majority of the body is comprised of water. Have you ever heard that drinking lots of water increases your metabolism? In a way, it does.
Your kidneys filter all your blood. This process makes up about 25% of the total calories your body burns at rest. So, if you are drinking more water, your body has more fluid to filter. Therefore it is working harder and using more calories. Exactly how many more calories it burns is uncertain.
In addition, water makes you feel more full.
Water helps your body and cells to work at an optimal level.
Here in AZ we live in a dry, dry desert. I feel it especially during the winter months. (Here's my theory for that- It isn't as hot and therefore doesn't make me feel like drinking as much.) Nevertheless, it is still important.
So, let's get hydrated friends!
Go have a DRINK....
