Weekends, Water, and not enough sleep

I am officially done with my first full weekend on my diet and exercise program and I successfully made it through without going to Dairy Queen, any fast food joints and I managed to not hurt anyone or kill for chocolate (even though I said I would give up my pasta and bread calories for chocolate calories - a girl has got to do what a girl has got to do.)

I went to the grocery store as well as Land & Sea and figured out that eating healthy is not cheap. Macaroni and Cheese is cheap, spaghetti is cheap, but good meats, fresh vegetables, and low cal/low carb food is definitely not cheap.

I haven't lost any weight this weekend, but I am not discouraged because I managed to walk for 50 minutes instead of my usual 30. I need to really focus on drinking a lot of water on the weekends, it is easy at work, but on the weekends it is harder. So that is my goal for next weekend, drink at least 64 ounces a day next weekend (a significant improvement from before as I barely drank 20 ounces a water a day before.)

Stay tuned....more to come.
