Inner Fat Kid - Weight Loss Week 3

This week was actually pretty easy.  I've been going about meals/snacks a little differently than in the past.  I've always had a habit of stopping at the corner store whenever I go to work.  Here's the thing, in the past I would attempt to just avoid it all together, but that obviously doesn't work for me.  So this week, I've been going to the corner store, but just getting my usual blue Rockstar/Monster (yes I know they're terrible for me), and something to tide me over till lunch, since it's only about 4 hours time.  In addition to that I get a 50 oz. bottle of Smart Water, so I can drink that throughout the day, and as long as I finish that I know I'm getting my minimum 48 ounces of water per day.  That seems to have been working out for me thus far.

Couple things I've noticed in the last week.  My energy level has gone way up.  I'm more motivated to work while there, which should make my boss happy.  I've been sleeping a lot better as well, just from eating right.  I also think I've found my niche for exercise... Swimming.  We have this above ground pool that I've never used, however, this past week I must have gone in for 30 minutes or so at least 8 or 9 times.  It's relaxing and it cools you off!

I think that's all for now boys and girls.  Until next week, or later this week if I feel like giving a mid week update.

Your doing great! I'm really happy for you. It's about how you feel and your health, and from what you describe both are improving! Way to go! Truly!!! Keep it up. Oh, but a side note...I've done some research on smartwater, and not so good for you contrary to popular belief. Something about the "electrolytes" they add not good for brain... Just a word of advice. Drink water like crystal geiser, evian, arrowhead, etc. Or even Fiji, that water is great. Also, yes energy drink are BAD, but for weight loss if you must drink them go for a sugar-free version. Sounds like you are doing great! I'm VERY happy for you! :)
