In yesterday's blog, I failed to mention that I haven't had all of my water at all this week. I was concentrating too hard on not baking and eating a whole bunch of cookies. On Monday, I only drank about half of the water I brought to work. On Tuesday, even though I was at the office party for several hours, I managed to get in about 3/4 of it. Today, finally, I got all of it down. It was hard, it took a lot of effort. I blame the cold.
As I have mentioned before drinking water is the easy part for me. It is almost second nature. Lately, however it has been cold here. I know I have some readers in the Pacific Northwest, so highs of 30 degrees is nothing, but for me - that is C.O.L.D!!! I cannot stand to be cold. The office is a chilly office even in the middle of the summer. One of the ladies actually brings a lap blanket to keep her legs covered as she works, so it isn't just me. Drinking water makes me feel even colder, so I'm not getting it all down.
I'm learning to dress in more layers, like 4 or more. I've asked for underarmor for Christmas, so hopefully I'll thaw a little bit and get back to drinking water without a thought again soon.
Just for the record, I didn't eat any cookies last night. I did eat a banana and a clementine rather than the protein drink. I think that was a fair exchange. Thanks for the encouragement yesterday. It is good to know I'm not alone.

Lori, I heard one of those weather gurus giving a long-range forecast for our area back in November. So far, what they said has been spot on, so if it remains that way, there is hope. They said we could expect a much colder than average December with increased precip, but then January and February would be above average temps. I'm banking on it!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had an inch of snow at my house earlier this week. We NEVER have snow in December!
Chug that water, girl!! I'm like you in that water (and coffee) are my two drinks of choice. Water consumption is not a problem for me - guess we're lucky!
