Too much sodium-laden foods and not enough water yesterday. I think I did okay calorie-wise, just waaaay too much sodium -- My fingers feel swollen. It's easy for me to forget about getting my fluids on the weekends - I know it's something that helps the weight-loss process in MANY ways, so I need to focus on getting the water in to me today, and figure out a way to do that on a regular basis on the weekends.
I have a bottle at work that marks out 32-oz, but contains a bit more than that. I've started the habit of drinking one of those full of water in the morning, and then filling it up again with one of those single-serving packets of Crystal Light for the afternoon. Kind of a reward for drinking the first 32+ oz. I need to find a good 32-oz bottle that I can use at home on the weekends.
I will be making Peanut Butter Fudge this afternoon as a part of my usual holiday "baking." I love the stuff, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to resist it, since I typically wind up giving most of it away. And if I really want a piece, I can work a piece of it in to my calories for the day. It's called "moderation." :)
I have trouble getting my water in on the weekends too.. we just get so busy that I forget! I keep 32 oz water bottles everywhere, and take them with me when I run errands, that helps!! Be careful with that fudge, it sounds delish!!
ReplyDeleteHow much water do you usually drink in a day? I've been playing around with different figures, but it's weird 'cause different medical sources give different recommendations. That said, I'm always curious about what everyone else drinks.
ReplyDeleteI aim for at least 64 oz. per day. I've seen sites that recommend more as well, and if I can get more in, that's great. My general rule of thumb is to drink enough fluid so that I pee clear at least once a day.
