Think Thin Thursday-week 2



It's Think Thin Thursday again. Today is the day that I look back over the past week to see if I have achieved the goal I set. My goal was to walk everyday. Although it did prove to be a bit challenging because of the weather, I did it! With the exception of yesterday because we had an ice storm. But, I did chip away and shovel ice for quite a while so I think it may have balanced out.

My goal for this week is to drink more water. I have a weakness for sugary drinks. First it was Pepsi (2 liters a day), then diet Pepsi, and then I moved on to iced tea. That ends today!

Good luck to you all! I hope that you are able to achieve the goals you set for yourselves:)

    I did not do as well this week as I had hoped, PMS was wrecking havoc on my "peace" plan!!
    We did well on the healthy end though!

    Great job, Sandy! Keep up the good work...you can do it, remember??? Hey, have you ever tried something like Propel to give your water a little zing? Adds a little flavor to it.

    Water is the best thing for dieting. I hope you're able to make the switch from sugar to water.

    Great plan!

    Grat job on the walking. I am thinking that chipping ice and shoveling snow is enough for one day.

    I gave up pop too. Been doing pretty good with that this week. Of course, it helps that it is not in the house.

    Keep up the good work.

    I think we "newbies" are all going for the same goal. MORE WATER!! I bought a lot of lemons so I could slice 'em up and add a little zing! I'm hoping that helps! LOL
    We can do it! Great job on your goal. I think chipping away at that ice totally counts as walking!

    I like your goals! So far they are really realistic and smart. I should drink more water this week too!

    This Southern gal HAS to have some sweet tea! There is just no way around it. It's practically law! But I sweeten mine with Splenda or Sweet n' Low. ;)

    Good goals for the week! And, yay for you! Shoveling snow should count as two workouts!!! :) Can't wait to see how you did next Thursday!

    Thanks for the support everyone!

    Blonde Duck- For right now, I decided to look for something part time. If it's meant to be then it will happen I guess. I'm not as stressed about it now that my hubby and I really looked over our finances. It's not as bad as it seemed at the time. Thanks for asking:)

    You're doing it the right way by giving yourself reasonable goals. I tend to throw too much difficulty at myself in the beginning and that's not good. I should take your lead. Good luck; I'll be right here cheering for you the whole time!

    Good Job on the walking! I'm working on dietary goals right now too! Last week I completely kicked caffiene (It's been about 3 weeks since I started the quitting) and this week I'm aiming for a bottle of water a day! Good Luck!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am working on the water thing too. I drank a bottle today and that is an improvement over the 'none' I was doing until today. Nice to 'meet' you!
    Good luck!

    Best wishes! This is my eternal resolution. Not a new year's resolution as much as a new week's resolution. I always start strong on Monday's, and then.... well.... the next Monday I start all over! It's not workin out very well according to the scale. Woops!

    Good luck this week! It sounds like you're doing great! The water things seems to be a big catch up for a lot of us, but I'm sure we'll get used to it.
