So my weekend was crazy busy - from cakes due, a Friday night activity with (11) teen girls, and a trip to Denver. So I continued to drink the slim and sassy water, but I didn't pay any attention to what or how much I ate!
Good news I'm the same weight I was on Friday morning. And the better news is that instead of quitting, I determined to start out today in a good way.
I did some reading on the drive to Denver and decided that since I have a hard time getting all my water in that I was going to have 2 water bottles. The one that I sip all day with the Slim and Sassy. and another with Lemon and Grapefruit oil in it. It really just puts a touch of flavor to the water, and make it good!
This weeks goal is to drink all the water I should to make my efforts beneficial. Being even slightly dehydrated can hinder weight loss! So drink up : )
Today: 226
Down: -2

So the plan was to post everyday...
I had planned to 'journal' everyday, but that didn't seem to happen this week. Maybe next week it will. I have continued to lose a little everyday this week. Did I tell you what I do most everyday? I'm a cake decorator. Yes a cake decorator trying to lose weight. I know it can happen I just have to be focused. It's a good thing that my real weakness is not cake. It's more of the salty snacks, chips, popcorn, I have to list chips and salsa separate because in my craving world that is so at the top and so yummy!
I did drink my 16 oz slim and sassy water everyday. Exercise took a back seat this week and so that will have to change this next week. My eating though was really on target, yes even though I made 3 cakes and cupcakes! I leave a small 200 calorie allowance for tasting my creations, I have to - I can't send a cake to someone not knowing if it turned out right. If I forgot an ingredient I want to know when it's baked before it's frosted and decorated.
I need to work on drinking more water though everyday so exercise and water are my focus for this next week.
weight: 228
down - 2

The Beginning
Feb 10 - Feb 15
On Febuary 10th I started my journey on the doTERRA Slim & Sassy weight loss product. 8oz in 16 oz of water and sip all day in between 3 healthy meals. Since this was a goal I had, I figured it can't hurt to see if this helps me along the process.
I've been trying to eat healthier - I'm not counting calories yet, but I know the basic amounts of calories in the different foods I'm eating, so I know when I'm getting to many calories. I may begin keeping a count later if it becomes necessary. I did cut out my junk food snacks in between meals. I feel that was my biggest issue. I never have been able to eat a lot at one time. Ask my hubby, I can't even finish a combo meal at any fast food restaurant. I pick the burger or the fries to eat hot (usually the fries) and save the burger till about an hour later. Oh yeah, the eating out has come to an end too, except for special occasions, and no a special occasion is not every week.
I am also working on exercise. 1 hour of cardio everyday, and some weight lifting/toning 3x a week.
I've gotten to the point that I need this to work - so I'm just going to have to do it. Even if it's hard.
Beginning weight: 232
Todays weight: 230
