Week 2!!!
226.4
Thursday – so, after last night, didn’t want to get on the scale this morning. was not happy with how many times I had strayed from the path of eating healthy over the past week. But, to be honest, although I didn’t make the right choices 100% of the time, I did at least 50% of the time if not more (I’m really not interested in calculating this, although if I had time I think it would be fun to do it).
On the Today show this morning, there was a woman on who was talking about something, what was it? She had a British accent and a lisp which I found endearing, she wrote a book…I guess it doesn’t matter but she said the basic elements of being able to achieve whatever it is the book she wrote was teaching you to achieve – these basic elements were:
Sleep
Excercise
Eating Healthy
Drinking Water
Well, well – I think you need these four basics to be successful at anything. And currently, I’m working on ONE of them, but it got me thinking, I can’t really take a singular approach to being a healthier person. A happier person. I have to incorporate all of these things. I don’t drink any water, at all. I don’t exercise, at all. I rarely sleep more than 6 hours per night, if I even get 6. So here’s something else I’m going to tally each week for the next few weeks:
Sleep 8 hours at least two nights per week
Drink at least 1 glass of water every day
Exercise at least two times per week, not counting walking 20 minutes each way to work
After a few weeks, I’ll increase the sleep, water and exercise, but I want to start with something manageable, or else I know I’ll get discouraged.

You might not drink water in its purest form, but you do take in water in other forms. You drink Crystal Light = made with water, coffee = made with water, latte = made with a fluid that is not dissimilar to water.
The “pure water” crap comes from the bottled water companies who jumped on the bandwagon a number of years ago when we were all told to drink at least 8 glasses a day. Everything you drink generally has a water type substance at the base of it. The water companies don’t want you to know that!
