New year brings new year's resolutions...

or NOT. Resolutions get broken - so here's my goal....to drink more water. There, that's easy, isn't it? Just drink water. But see here's the thing, I DON'T LIKE WATER. I need sweet tea or milk - those are my choices. So here we are at day 3 (because I started on Monday and not the actual first day of the year) and so far today I have drank about 4 ounces of water. ALL DAY. That's it! Nothing else. I don't drink enough as it is but I am really struggling with this. The first day I did great. Water all day - a lot of it even, and then had milk with my dinner. Yesterday not so good. I went to El Charro for lunch - because who wants to hurt Dr. Travis's feelings by saying no when he offers to buy lunch ;) and I had sweet tea :( but that's only because I had a headache!! You will be happy to know that I tried to redeem myself by skipping dinner. I had taken the girls to chick-fil-a after the gym last night because it was Glen Arden night and I was so hot from running that I decided not to eat. So there ya go. But today...I may have a breakdown. I've already had 3 miniature reese cups so I've already splurged as it is. Oh well. I've also noticed that I am working on a double chin. This can not happen. So I've researched different exercises that I can do to eliminate it. I hope it helps. I know I should decrease my caloric intake but I like to eat! ugh. Hopefully none of you are struggling with your resolutions just yet!

  1. Just keep in mind - All things in moderation! A sweet tea is OK. I can't go without my cokes! I do drink a lot of water though. I love really cold ice water. Have you considered trying it with a little lemon maybe? That is supposed to be really good for you. I need to start doing that myself. Mamaw does it all the time.

  2. Your new Starbucks cup should inspire you to drink more water with its candycane straw!
