two dolla

lots of water and lots of the boy

I got stuck at 64 ounces of water again today. Granted, I added a can of Coke and a 20 ounce bottle of Dr. Pepper to that… Oh, yeah. And the 32 ounce cup of Cherry Coke I picked up at the gas station on the way home. Clearly that whole “stop drinking caffeine” thing has not worked out so well. The pee breaks were plentiful and much needed today.

After The General picked me up from work today, we got home to find The Boy bouncing off the walls. I told him Suzi had given us some basketball tickets for next week and that just increased the bouncing. And once the bouncing had subsided, he started doingd all of those sports-related clapping songs around the kitchen in preparation for a basketball game that’s OVER A WEEK AWAY.

Also, he declared some day in April to be Wendy’s Day. He already has Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and didn’t want me to feel left out. How cute is that?

week 1 day 1 report

I have to pee. That’s pretty much all. I think I only managed about 80 ounces of water today. That’s not counting the 8 ounces that I splashed onto The General a couple of hours ago. Who knew the water bottles we got also serve as pretty good water guns?

I finished the first 64 ounces pretty easily. I was thinking about slamming the other 64, but then I realized I’d rather sleep tonight as opposed to getting up to pee every hour.

I’ll try harder tomorrow. Peeing all day while at work is kind of a nice break from the normal, every day stuff that I get stuck doing sometimes.

Bet you’re glad I’m actively posting about my pee now.

week 1: water challenge

Yesterday, The General and I were talking about trying to find a way to having a little more healtier lifestyle more of a priority, instead of just talking about it. We’ve both gained some weight since we’ve been together (9 1/2 months!) and we both know it’s something we could have avoided. So, we’re setting weekly goals. The General is good with goals, like insanely good. And, yesterday, we decided our first weekly goal would be drinking half of our body weight in water. For instance, if I were to weigh 150 pounds, I’d be pouring 75 ounces of water down my gullet. Needless to say, I’m not skinny lady, so that might be a lot of water.

We hit up Wal-Mart yesterday. While we were there, we found some ghetto fabulous water bottles to keep at home. These little jugs hold 64 ounces of water. Finishing one will be a great start to what I need to drink every day.

We don’t keep pop in the house anymore, which has helped to some degree. I love me some caffeine, so I haven’t exactly decided how to push that aside to make more room for delicious, tasteless water. Maybe I’ll still allow myself one can a day? Maybe I’ll switch over to coffee? I just know diet pop is not going to fly with me. But not to worry, because I’ll figure something out. Plus, we have Welch’s grape pop in our pop machine at work as a delicious sugary-substitute for Coke our Mountain Dew.

I’ve been known to chug 8 ounces at a time while at work. It’s an amazing feat really and I can thank my days of drinking beer straight from the pitcher at Club 66 for that little talent. However, it started to grow a bit distracting at work last week when I attempted to drink two quarts of sugar free grape kool aid.

I can do this. It’s easy. And I have The General to kick my ass along the way.
