Day 8
Well, today was the last day of my first Ignite cycle. I made it! And now I wait until the morning, so I can weigh and measure myself to see the results. I weighed this morning, after an eating day, and had lost an additional pound. That brings my 7-day total to 10.4 pounds! It's hard to believe.
Today's goal for me was to make sure that I drink the right amount of water. I've got about 6 cups to go. (My word of the year is courage, and this next statement takes a bunch) I have to drink approximately 150 ounces of water a day. That's over a gallon! (Thanks, Google, for helping me figure that out!) I drink nothing but water, so that's not a problem. What is rough is the amount. I took a two quart pitcher to school to keep in my office area. That made it easier, as did the spicy beef jerky that was my snack today. (I pause now to refill my cup.) It's when I'm home and not doing a lot of talking, I don't get as thirsty, I guess. I have another hour or so, I might make that goal yet!
A couple of people at work today commented that I look different. They weren't specific, but it served as a motivator for me and made me smile. It's the little things... .
I can't wait until tomorrow! If you'll excuse me now, I must go drink... .
