quitting smoking / losing weight !!!!!!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 3307

here is a little trick to help you keep track of the water you drink. I have a 16 oz bottle and I keep four pennies on the counter. Every time I drink a bottle and before I fill it I turn a penny over. I start with them facing down and when all four faces are looking up

I know I have drank my quota for the day. I have put my pedometer back on and my goal is 10,000 steps a day. I really enjoy walking and it is cheap, a good pair of shoes and you are ready to go. Find a buddy, in my case hubby, to walk with you.

Keep the Quit

I've also been told that drinking very cold water helps to burn fat, especially when you are exercising.

Why is it that remembering to drink, drink, drink water is the toughest thing? I've heard from so many fit friends that this is one of the keys to successfully losing weight. Maybe the biggest. Unfortunately I forget to remember! I'm keeping an exercise/activity journal - maybe I'll add number of waters to my daily recap.

well it seems kid of funny , but the things i used a lot when i quit smoking in march , i find myself using now that i'm trying to lose 60 pounds.

eating lots of small cold carrots , olives , pickles , cucumber slices , a few small pretzels , and lots and lots of ice water.

maybe some things are just plain good for us ?
