Daily update

Didn’t get tons done today. Got 3 miles walking in. Did a bunch of cleaning and a little bit of embroidery. I have to figure out something to do in the office to get movement in. It was the one thing I feared about taking an office job: the sedentary aspect of a desk job. When I worked in retail being on my feet made me drop a bit of weight. Not the case here. I’m considering a standing desk adapter for the office. Eyeballing a couple on Amazon. My one concern is that since gaining the weight, standing or walking causes low back pain now after a short time of doing either. Stamina is fine. Pain not so much.

For dinner i made long hots with the peppers my sister sent home with us. Peppers stuffed with prosciutto and provolone cheese. Tasty and low carb plus hot spice to boost metabolism. Can’t hurt right? Admit to a half a cup of ice cream…you know…to kill the heat. So tasty!

Well exhaustion is winning so off to sleep i go. CIAO!!

Water Water Everywhere…

and I can’t stand to drink it. Yep. I am not the biggest water fan. If i’ve worked out and am real thirsty, then I can drink it but it has to be very cold. Otherwise I have to use Mio or some other water flavoring in order to get it down. One gallon a day is what I am suppose to drink. Very daunting when you think about it. SO! That being said, a friend suggested I get one of these by Hydromate.com. (no they are not paying me to push their products I think its just damn cool to have a bottle this big.

I thought I’d give their hydration flavorings a try to see if they’re any better than Mio.

One of these a day is all I have to drink. Along with peeing a dozen times too. My husband will not be thrilled when he sees I brought another water bottle into the house. “They are the bane of my existence!!” he complains. Right now I use a 30 oz yeti insulated tumbler that I empty pretty quickly. This jug will be easier at work.

Another step towards getting healthier!
