How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey Kat, how's your day so far? Is it humid down there? We have some wind in L.A. with the sun today, feels good when I open the front door. I guess everybody is having a good time away from home today.

I'm here too. Just checking in to see what's going on before I head to bed. I am searching for the Whooshie Pie recipe so that I can have a whoosie! Got to do some abs before I hit they hay though. I am behind on my abs challenge...

I will check in again in the am.

Good Night girl and make sure you tell us the results of your whooshie pie. I need some laxatives and horseradish to get a double whoosh Good to see you checking in

Dolphin - Stay away from those laxatives. I swear when I took them last week, my stomach hurt so bad I was praying for an epidural!! I kept trying to remember my breathing exercises from birthing class. Well, they didn't work when I had my kids and they don't work now!!! I am now searchin for Flax Meal so that I can keep things moving. Did you know they make a tea called "Smooth Move" for just such occasions? I'll try anything, even dynamite if I have to...

Yes, still humid...when you walk outside you get a coating of moisture, it seems! I thought it was only like this when I lived near the swamps...but it followed me up here to Tennessee.

How's your water going?

They sure don't work, giiiirl not the dynamite.

That bad huh, I won't take a bunch, if I get some. Thanks for the warning though, I'll be careful. I had some smooth move before.

The South is the South when it comes to the humidity.

Girl, my water is done for the day, a whole gallon. I will have more when I get thristy. Thanks for asking. How is your water going? I know you drink a lot in what I call steamy bathroom heat.

Congratulations on getting all your water in! Wow! You really drink a lot!! Does it help the fluid retention?

I get in anywhere from eight to eleven cups a day...that is really good for me because I used to struggle with getting in just one cup per day. So, I'm really happy that I've increased it that much. Yeah! A new habit born!!

Hope you are having a nice evening!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I try for a gallon of water too, but lately I am only making it to two liters. I do drink my diet soda and stuff the cup with ice so I do get a bit more that way. I do not know why it is so hard for me to get all that water in, I just forget I think to drink it. I get busy and next thing I know, I haven't had any water in hours. I have to start really working on the water and get more in through out the day.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Stephie, I do that too...sometimes wait until the end of the day and then I'm trying to guzzle. Those are the days that I end up with eight cups. When I do get my water in early I end up going up to 10 or 11 cups. Those are happy days.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I figured I would put my day six up as I am on track and do not plan to cheat before I go to bed !!! I am not planning on cheating at all !! Last weekend was an eye opener and I am very determined to make it to goal and than be able to maintain for life. A much healthier life !!
One more day and I have my first week under my belt again , I am excited about that !!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Thanks Kat, I try but trust me this is rare I get in a gallon. I had to buy some water today, I hate L.A. tap water its not the best.

Stephie, thats a good idea to put a whole lot of ice in the cup and fill it with the diet soda.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Evening guys,

Wow...I'm gone all day and I had three pages to catch up on!

Eating has been very weird for me today. My stats have been all wonky and I ate mayonnaise with my chicken at lunch just to up my fat. Blech! I'm having just veggies for dinner, and though there was a time when I would have hated that, I'm perfectly happy now. I'm having avocado for my protein

I'm planning on moving the nut rung come Monday. I'm excited and bought natural peanut butter (real, no nonsense natural peanut butter...peanuts and salt, whoo!)...that'll be my nuts for the first week until I know for sure I can control myself.

It's so good to hear that everyone's doing well. Kudos on getting your water in today ladies, that's fantastic!

Goodnight darlings...hope there's whooshies for all!
