Ok ladies! Just a quick recap of last week. I was horrible at getting to the gym. however I did do a quick workout at home a couple times last week. I still felt like POO!! There is just something about going to the gym that just makes you feel a little better lol. During the week I ate pretty decent. My normal no sodium meals 5 to 6 times a day!

One fun thing I did this weekend was to run the Warrior Dash! Go HERE to learn more about it!
It's a 3 mile run with lots of obstacles like running thru mud pits, sliding down poles, running over crushed cars, and climbing over walls! MY WHOLE BODY IS SORE TODAY!!! I could barely get out of bed! But YES I love that feeling haha! It doesnt seem that hard when youre running it tho. There were like 40 mile an hour winds and it was sandy as heck! So maybe the reason I'm not smiling in these pics...is because I had a TON of sand in my eyes!!

BEFORE...

(these were actually our Other's beers! They watched while we ran!)

AFTER...

Did I drink enough water?

Not the normal standards lol...BUT I did drink more than I normally do!

I think I got up to 6 glasses of water.

The least amount I drank was earlier in the week and that was 4 glasses.

For me...I found it easier to drink out of a straw and I ended up drinking more water!

Another good way...is to get two huge bottles of water.

Drink one bottle before noon and the other after noon. (I used to do this when I lived in Dallas years ago...and it worked for me. I try to do that now...but I love drinking coffee all morning.
