Babystep 1 - Drink Your Water!

Well I haven't been thinking about me. Why? I don't know. I always feel so discouraged, dissapointed with myself, and scared. I'm discourage, because it's hard to eat less and do my weekly workouts and nothing. If I loose weight it's only 1/4 of pound, so I get discourage and stop being careful and binge and then gain 2 pounds. How discouraging is that? I then become dissapointed with myself because I let myself down. Then I get scared because I'm afraid I'm going to do this again.

So I'm going to do this is babysteps. My first step is to drink my water. I've read that water can help with weightloss more than I may think. I don't drink water. It's not because I don't like water, I just don't find it fulfilling to my taste. A can of Coke taste great and I can down it like nothing. Water, there is no taste so I'm not encouraged to drink it. Why can't I convince myself that water will do a lot more for me than a can of coke. So I'm going to take a challenge. For 1 week I'm going to drink my water, my 64oz of water. Starting tomorrow, when I get up, before I have my coffee, I'm drinking my first cup of coffee.

So here I go...crossing my fingers, I can do this.

So here is my new goal...10 pounds at a time...190!
