Sloshed…

Now, I know that this has a unique meaning to those in the UK, but for me, right now, it is how I’m feeling about my water. I have – for the first time in my weight loss journey of 10+ years – actually been drinking ALL of the recommended water, if not more.

Boy, am I getting awfully familiar with my bathroom these days. 

The best part, though, was a complete surprise. Remember how I said that I was ALWAYS hungry when I was on program? Well, apparently it was because I wasn’t getting enough water. Yup. I’m such a dunce that I mistook thirst for hunger. Sigh. But I’m awfully happy not to be hungry all the time half way through the first week. I sure hope this keeps up!

I have to admit, I am very curious to see the effect on my weight when I weigh in on Thursday. I haven’t really been doing anything else different, just making sure that I’m drinking my water each day. Baby steps, baby steps. Even if I gain, I will count this week as a success if I drink all of my water every day.

So far, so good.
