I needed a cheery picture today. Winter without much snow is a bit dreary so I found this picture to post :) It's a flower arrangement on our desk while living in Sicily. The flowers were so cheap to buy at the cemetery ~ so many varieties and colors! It was awesome.
The little dish holding the candle is one I found in a thrift store over there. I was sad when it didn't survive the trip back to the States.
Ok, so here's another fitness update.
I still didn't drink much water! That has to change. I'm going to try something different this week. I'll fill a pitcher each night with the water I need to drink the following day and put it in the fridge with lemons. That might work ~ hopefully!
I did eat better and went to the gym 3 days. No hiking. I've got to step it up and get to the gym more if I want to lose this weight.
My session with the trainer yesterday was great. Tough but great. I sweat like crazy. I do 30 minutes of weight training with him then I do 30 minutes of cardio on my own.
We are slowly moving towards eating 5 smaller meals a day rather than 3 big ones. It's much better for you. You eat smaller amounts with a mix of carbs and proteins. It keeps your metabolism working throughout the day ~ which is a good thing :)
My goal this week is to get to the gym 4-5 days and hike at least once. Also drink more water. Seems silly that water is such a struggle.
I hope you are having a wonderful day :) Here's hoping for some snow this week!
Blessings,

Jan I so understand the "hard to drink water" thing. I struggle also. When i was doing the "Game on" competition i made something called Sassy water and loved it. I need to get back to drinking it again. It had lemon/lime slices, cucumber slices (peeled), and grated ginger. It is wonderful! If you don't like ginger you can leave it out. It is good for a change of pace.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to go make me some Sassy Water!
Best wishes for a wonderful week!
Love ya!
