Week 1: Day 2 cont.: Food and Water intake

Lunch was delicious. I had an Asian Grilled Chicken Salad from Boba. Opted out of the fried wontons and it was still deelish!

As far as water goes, Anela said you should take your weight, cut it in half and that is the amount of water in ounces that one should be drinking each day. Therefore, I should be drinking roughly 59 ounces of water a day, or a little more than 7 cups. This is no problem for me since I drink so much water already, however, I am trying to drink all of that before dinner time so that maybe I won't pee sooooo much during the night. Ug!

Another thing that I learned from class yesterday is that a lot of the time our body is thirsty but we misunderstand our body's signals and therefore think we are hungry. Anela offered a great tip to drink a full glass of water when hungry and/or before meals. This will help increase water intake and will also fill the stomach a bit so you won't stuff yourself full to the brim!


A run down of Food and Exercise for the day:

4-5:00 pm - 'Simply Step' aerobics class... I HATE this class. I stare at the clock the whole time waiting for it to be over :( Unfortunately, it is the best class for getting a work out so I will go back tomorrow to stare at the clock again.

5-5:15 pm - Elliptical. Not much of a workout. Flipped through a mag, but nonetheless was present at the gym during this time
