Day off...not really

I'd like to say that I decided to take the day off, because it is good to rest up between workouts.  Which isn't necessarily false (about having days off being a good thing), but that isn't why I didn't do anything today.  I just couldn't get up the will to get up and moving.  It is definitely a harder thing for me to get motivated to work out on the weekends.  I am self-conscious.  I don't mind looking ridiculous when I am the only one here, but when I have an audience, I tend to do less.

I need to just force myself to do something.  Even my stretching and regular yoga type stuff, which I can do when my husband or son is up, would keep me doing something.

I am doing a bit better at least with drinking water.  I have started keeping track of how many glasses I drink.  The goal is 8 (though 10 would be better) glasses of water...with the 8 ounce standard being one 'glass'...which actually means one of my drinking glasses counts as two glasses.  I've been pulling about 6 the last couple of days.  Which is definitely more than I regularly drink..there are days where I don't pay attention and end up getting ready for bed and realizing that I've only drank one glass.

That count isn't including the two cups of coffee in the morning.  I know they say that coffee counts, but I don't count it.  It is one of those things that I am not willing to give up (at least at this point in time), even though I know that a large part of my caloric and sugar intake comes from my morning coffee.  I love those flavored creamers, and I like my coffee heavy on the cream/sugar....so it is more of a desert type thing.
