Yea….I’m happy to report that I actually have gotten to where I’m drinking about twice as much water as my goal each week and only one soda. The physical activity has continued. I felt myself wavering so we picked up a new game for the Wii – Wii Ski and a new exercise DVD, Walking Away The Pounds…While I don’t think I’m really feeling any weight loss yet, I’m not getting discouraged as my first goal was health – not weight. However, I’m going to start this week by officially announcing my weight changes from week to week. It won’t be part of the goal (yet), but I will track my progress. I’ll do the first official weigh in tonight and post it back here.

This week I’m going to up the ante on my goals though. I want to exercise for at least 45 minutes FOUR days in the next week. This is going to be a challenge as we are so busy, but I’m going to do my best and I’m going to drink THREE bottles/glasses of water, and I’m not going to drink more than a 1 1/2 cans of coke.

I actually found this last week easier than normal even though it was Thanksgiving. Why? I think because I was actually home so much and not at work. This made exercising extremely easy, and it was easy to just grab bottles of water out of the refrigerator.
