Portion size and water consumption

I really liked the idea of Kari's about putting all your water on the counter so you are reminded of how much you need to drink. I can get in 64 ounces fairly easily but much more than that I slog up. It's still there to remiind me so I can also grab one of the bottles and take it wherever I go.
Portion size is a little easier for me. I don't have a scale but I used to and I really think that would be a good investment.i try and stay away from pasta becasue the protions there are just so confusing! One cup of spaghetti seems like nothing...but if you add a bunch of vegetables, etc. it works out pretty good.
My real challenge is the exercise. I'd much reather be sitting somewhere reading or sewing. Could be why I'm obese. duh! I did buy the new Wii fit plus and it is really truly a lot of fun..and the time goes by pretty quickly. I ahve been able to walk a little farther lately so I am pretty pumped about that. I'll let you know how I do.

Wow, there is water all around us today in Oregon. It hasn't quit raining for a few days now. I love water. I was in the pool today for about half and hour. Taking into account fiddling with my goggles and my fins I figure I got about 25 minutes of lap swimming in. I got a late start becasue I was do daaing at home . I've putting all my food and exercise on My Food diary. When I'm at Kira's next week I'll have her help me put more stuff on my blog! Can't wait.

I am excited about getting more exercise, eating better foods and becoming healthier. I started at the comunity pool today. it honk it will be good. There are multiple oppportunities to swim. I get most of the flexibility stuff witht he classes but I think i will have to lap swim to get a good cardio workout. I was all excited about going again toorrow when i relaied i had a 7 am appointment aswell as a 9 am appointment. ithink I willt ry the noon lap swim.

Anne's gonna do it!

Okay. This is it. Since competition is such a big motivator for me and since Kira is doing this also I think this will be a win win situation! I'm really kind of excited to get started. I swiched from the local YMCA to the local community pool for my swimming exercises becasue I wasn't taking advantage of the all the other stuff that the Y charges for.
Seems like I have a bunch of stuff to do before Tuesday. I have plenty of tight clothes I can use for my pictures. I think what works best for me is to to prepare menues for the week so I know what I will be eating and will know what to have on hand...as well as what not to have on hand.
