I'm sipping, gulping...and it has been suggested that I may as well move my computer into the ladies' room at work because I spend more time there than at my desk. I had to put a customer on hold earlier so I could go pee. I've never been so hydrated in my life.
I even bought myself a LARGE and pretty glass to use at work so that I will drink more. See:
You'll notice that it is EMPTY. For the third time already today, thank you very much. And that was before lunchtime.
I've also joined the Spring Challenge...
To be honest, I am nervous about this. Every time I join one of these things, I don't lose much and get frustrated. BUT, maybe the third time is the charm? The challenge starts on the day before I return from my vacation to visit my (gorgeous, thin, foodie, vegetarian) sister in Boston. So as soon as I get back, I need to buckle down and get this done.
This new fill I have is weird. I can eat lots of chicken, lettuce, ground turkey, veggies, pineapple. And I had a small piece of bread from Panera with my soup yesterday. But I can't eat meatballs or pork chops at all. I'm losing again though, which is awesome, but slow.

I would love to drink more water, but I have to pee every 15 minutes!
Lol. I totally relate to living in the bathroom. You would think it would settle down after a week or so of faithful drinking... but no such luck here. Hmm... how to get the computer & work station into the bathroom?!? :)
I definitely need these kind of challenges to keep me motivated when the scale isn't moving as quickly as I'd like! So I'm glad you're joining in, because I know it'll help, even if you feel like you're not losing MUCH. Because since you're not just starting out and at a lower weight, every single pound is worth probably 2 of mine! Just think of it that way. :)
I need your dedication. I decide to drink more water and it works for a day, maybe. I'm impressed!! It's so good for you.
steph, color me ignorant, but can you do a post about what these challenges are? i'm interested.
Meli, if you click the Suddenly Spring challenge picture, it will take you to an explanation of what it is. Basically, it's a highest percentage of weight loss challenge. You kick in $5 and if you lose the most (first 3 places) you win gift cards to whatever store you want.
