Hydrated
So, making up a bunch of teas to drink everyday is going better than I expected. I’m already on my 4th one today & I’ve only been making 4 and a half. I’ve been struggling to drink enough water recently, and even lemonade hasn’t been doing it, so I thought mixing things up would help. It has. It’s been taking Justin two days to get through one 32 oz. jar, while I get through eight, plus two 16 oz. jars.
I actually feel like I’ve been retaining water, but I assume that is because I have been so inconsistent with my water recently. At some point, I’ll stop holding on to so much of it.
It was a really nice walk, warm. I left as soon as the Sears technician was finished repairing the dishwasher, so it was not the ideal time. But even though it’s warmer in the afternoon, I haven’t hated it. Yesterday’s walk was drizzly at least, but I’ve largely gotten past my inability to exist in the heat.
I’m still afraid to weigh myself. I think I’m going to wait until 1 November to do a weigh in. That is time for routines and whatnot to show some results. We’ll see. Movement has been going well, but I’m still doing under 1.5 miles per walk, so I need to start ramping up or doing 2 sessions. That might be more beneficial; I’ll look into it.
I stopped by Five Below to look at exercise equipment yesterday, but I just sort of froze. I don’t have a clue what I need. I need someone over my shoulder at all times, reminding me of what to buy and what to do and how long and to stretch. I did remember to do 10 step ups during my walk; it wasn’t a ton, but at least I got those in. Again, I just don’t know exactly what I’m aiming for. Life in the clouds is fun and all, but it comes at a cost!
