So I just wanted to give you a quick update on how this is going! I will admit I have not started the jump roping yet . . . still need to buy one BUT on the water front whoa!!! What a difference I feel. The goal was to drink 32oz BEFORE my coffee every morning and I will admit the first day or so was awful, I literally felt like I was going to explode with water and/or throw up . . . 32oz is a lot all at once y'all!
But I am here to report that after getting into a routine - I put a glass of water (16oz) by my bed the night before and when I get up, I grab it and start drinking it. This 16oz is pretty easy because I am thirsty (and now my body craves it!). Then I go to the kitchen, turn on the kettle and get my lunch ready for work and while I am doing that I "slowly" drink my second 16oz glass, this one is not as easy . . . I carry it around with me while I'm getting dressed and finish it before I leave the house. Then I have a small cup of coffee in the car on my way into work but I could honestly forgo it because I feel so awake after the water! It's crazy!!!!
Another thing I have started is eating breakfast . . . I know! this has been told to me a hundred times over but I never really felt hungry in the a.m. so I skipped it. Now I eat a banana in the car on my way into work and when I get to my desk I have a bowl of steel cut oats! And I feel like a million bucks
H2O + breakfast = happy body, mind & tummy
this is amazing - find it in the frozen aisle - perfect for taking
to work and throwing in the microwave! Our girls love it too!
I am also a fan of the steelcut oats from Traders!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get better at drinking water first thing in the morning. How have I not tried those TJ oats yet?? I love oatmeal!
