A Great Start
So this morning I weighed in at 174.6 - 2 lbs lost in one day!!!!! I attribute it completely to the large amount of crystal light I drank yesterday. I completely dilute the mix.. I use one of the single crystal lights for my whole jug of water. This gives my water a little bit of flavour that I need to down it all.
I exercised too! I did the 2 Mile Walk Away the Pounds video. I know, not the most exciting thing, but this is what worked for me in the past. I know that I got frustrated after a while doing this, because I needed a bigger challenge. But, for now, I have to work myself back up to the level of fitness I was at a couple of months ago.
Beerab, I usually weigh myself every day.. morning and night too, but some how, I feel like having to post the numbers here will make a difference. I get very embarrassed to gain weight and announce it to the world, so now this will force me to be good every day. I’ve given myself Saturdays and Sundays off from the weigh in, only because I usually don’t get a chance to get on the computer on the weekends. I will still use Mondays as my official weigh ins too.
Today has been a busy day. After dropping Yumna to school I realized that I forgot to pack her lunch, so I had to go back to school and drop it off. I ended up staying for a bit and helping with some things around the school, then Safiya and I went grocery shopping and now we are home and going to have an early lunch.
I made a huge chick pea salad yesterday at lunch and slowly been eating a bowl at a time. It’s made it easy for me when I get hungry, because I have something healthy to turn to, rather than pick up some junk. I went to bed super early yesterday. I fell asleep with the girls at 8:30pm, and woke up around 10:45pm, watched a little TV and went back to bed. Poor Yumna woke up crying that she had an ear ache in the middle of the night. This woke up Safiya. So I had to put them both back to bed.. and we didn’t wake up with the alarm.
I wanted to refer you guys to this great post about drinking water. It really helped me realize that I could really do myself a great favour by increasing my water consumption.

Nice job on the 2 lb loss! I agree about water consumption. Lately I’ve noticed that if I’m snacking after a workout, I’ll think to myself “I’m really thirsty,” but continue snacking! If I’d just drink a cup of water I’d probably quit putting food in my mouth haha.
Aw poor baby! Does she have an ear infection? Call me crazy but when I’ve had ear infections before I can get to a doctor I do this for relief. Take a few drops of REAL lemon juice and put it down my ear for about 5-10 seconds- then turn over and let the excess drain out- this kills the bacteria in your ear that is causing the infection and making the buildup that causes the pain.
And great job on the two pounds lost- if posting it daily works for you then by all means keep it up! I’ll do it with you
I weighed in at 209.5 this morning 
Fat Pants, often we mistaken thirst for hunger, and then we keep eating because that need is not being satisfied.
Beerab, I don’t know if its an ear infection. I gave her some Advil at night and in the morning she said she felt fine. I will see how she is feeling after school and if it is still bothering her I will go to the walk in clinic. If it comes back in the evening I’ll try your trick. Congrats on your loss from yesterday!
Great Job on the weight loss! I’ve given you a 3FC Chickie Award to keep you going!
