Ok, I thought today would be hard, but once I set my mind to just drinking water (plus my 3 cups of coffee) it was easy enough. I just got a 700 ml water bottle and started gulping before I even had my first cup of coffee this morning. YAY...I drank a total of 6+ cups of water today. I didn't realize how much water could fill me up to the point that I really didn't want to eat extra food.
I found that even though I only made one change today, it affected how I thought about what I ate. With each cup of water I drank, I counted it as a success towards my goal and did not want to mess it up by eating a "snack" my body didn't need. Although I ate well during the day, I did sneak in an ice cream snack this evening. This is a challenge I hope to deal with soon.
Tomorrow...my goal tomorrow is to drink at least 6 cups of water, but try to go for 8. It sure made me feel better today and I can't wait to see how much better it will make me feel as I continue.
