Things to note here...
I continuously have water throughout the day, so even if I don't note it here, I'm usually good for at least 1-1.5 liters during the work day. As a result, I'm constantly in the bathroom...haha.

If I think I'm starting to get hungry I usually pop a piece of sugarless gum (Extra dessert delights gum is awesome - both the Mint Choc chip and Strawberry shortcake versions). I also keep healthy snacks in my desk, like the aforementioned 100-calorie chex mix, almonds, and fruit (dried or cups).

In looking over this list today I notice I should probably get some more fruit in my body. We have plenty of it, I just often forget to pack it in my lunch if it's not something easy to grab, like a banana.

I also haven't gone to the gym AT ALL...and I'm paying $50 per month for my family membership. We go on the weekends for sure, but during the week has been darn near impossible bc of crazy work schedules. I had hoped to go Tuesday night after work, but M fell asleep on the couch and I had to put everyone to bed. I'm going to try for getting to zumba tonight,

Must get ready for work now :) Have a great day all - and in the words of Russell from Hell's Kitchen, "Let's punch this b**** in the face and rock it!"
