They had huge glass urns filled with ice water and lots of sliced lemons, limes and oranges. She told me that all throughout Europe, there are little stations like that (like we have water fountains) for people to drink from. It was really good. I think filling a pitcher with water and fresh fruit slices, and keeping it in the fridge so it's really cold, makes it much easier to drink.<br /><br />You're doing great!Tracyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303171375200927835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16628940.post-67311132558687215872009-04-24T16:23:00.000-04:002009-04-24T16:23:00.000-04:00Great work Rachel.. journaling your experiences ca...Great work Rachel.. journaling your experiences can only benefit this whole journey - so proud of you. <br />I only like water when it is freezing cold from the fridge so I make sure to use our Brita and try to empty it as often as possible. It is an ongoing battle for me too! <br />The best thing you have done is to stock your pantry/fridge with healthy food. What you don't have, you crave less.. at least that is how it works with me. I of course let myself indulge with dessert (made chocolate cake today, eeps) as long as I am keeping up with my daily veggies and protein intake and of course workout regime.<br />The work routine will get easier - trust me. Pretty soon you will feel crappy when you miss a couple days in a row. It is the best endorphin rush for me! I am an aerobics class junky, that is what gets me motivated.<br /><br />My awesome fitness moment this week has been joining this new gym. The classes are super fun (went to Latin Dance class today). I went 5x this week (which is unusual for me being in my 3rd trimester, usually I get lazier).Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15782706993664759620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16628940.post-22794814593075826632009-04-24T15:36:00.000-04:002009-04-24T15:36:00.000-04:00You are awesome!!

What was awes...Yeah for an awesome week for Rachel! What was awesome about my week? I worked out 2x and plan on working out today too, so that's an improvement. Hmmm, what else? I got a good call about getting a J-O-B!. <br />The H2O thing. I don't know how you currently drink water but I was really never a water person either, especially just to drink it out of a glass. Here are some ways I drink it that helps me get my 48-64 oz a day (when really I should be drinking 80oz):<br />~As someone else mentioned I get a gallon jug, fill it with water and slice up a couple lemons and drop them in there (no need to squeeze them). This is good with mint leaves too! Oranges are good in water too but they don't last as long as the lemons. <br />~I drink bottle water. I know it's not very earth friendly but we have a mini fridge and stock it with bottled water. It's super cold-and to me tastes better than our water dispenser (we can't drink the tap water out here). Plus I know if I drink 4 of them a day I am done. I find it easier than carrying a 32oz think of water that I have to fill 2x because it feels like I never get to the bottom of that thing.<br />~When I drink water out of a glass, it seems to be better with a straw. Weird, I know. Oh and a lemon slice squeezed into it. <br />Hope that helps =)Jessica P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16628940.post-33422500588695562452009-04-24T14:48:00.000-04:002009-04-24T14:48:00.000-04:00Congrats to you!

Good for you.<br /><br />As someone who actually think water tastes good, I have no problem getting it down, but I have heard people say that adding a bit of lemon or lime helps give it flavor.Elspeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/17495546895657214080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16628940.post-52886036000721273312009-04-24T12:22:00.000-04:002009-04-24T12:22:00.000-04:00The water is a thorn for me, too, but not because ...The water is a thorn for me, too, but not because I don't like it. For some reason, I just never get enough, and I know how important it is, not only to replace that which I lose when exercising, but for overall health. I think the only time in my life that I drink it up yum is when prego. Maybe I should set a timer for myself, like when I train the young'uns to use the potty!!?Laura Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647042898235118427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16628940.post-57553076752290307782009-04-24T11:20:00.000-04:002009-04-24T11:20:00.000-04:00You did awesome this week !
