baby step 1: drinking more water
my thoughts are this, there is more access to cold, filtered water at work so that is where I will focus my energy. I make myself little checkboxes on a small sticky note and post it on my computer. each of these boxes represents a full, 16 oz glass of water. sometimes with ice, sometimes without. I will make an attempt to drink more water in the evenings but I am not going to beat myself up if all I want is a diet pepsi. maybe I should call this baby step 1a? :-)
I'm on day three and it's going really well. there has been no cheating at all. the girls at work are keeping me honest so I have some accountability as well.
(seeing as how it's 11:37 and this is how much of my glass I have left, I better get cracking.)
Read this book to see what water can do for you.

Sweet! I'm so proud of you. I know this is HUGE for you. How have you felt since Monday?
thanks! so far, I feel like the bathroom is my best friend. that should go away with time (hopefully) so I'm not dwelling on that. I do feel really tired but I know that has to do with the other half of this water extravaganza.
(shh, don't say it out loud because then I might jinx myself)
because I am drinking more water, I'm actually cutting out the amount of DP I drink. but as soon as I publically announce that I'm cutting back on DP, I get panicky. you know me and my addictions! ;-)
That's an awesome goal. Hope you can keep it up.
I feel like I need to go have a glass myself now. :) Unfortunately these Brits have influenced me and I have to have at least 2 cups of a *hot drink* (usually tea) every day. I was never like that before. Maybe I'll switch back to water now that warmer weather has arrived. Because honestly you can't curl up under a fleece blanket next to a radiator with a glass of water, can you??? ;)
Good job! Water is essential to good health!
