Yesterday marked 5 days in a row of me meeting my water intake goal! Go me!!
I was weighing myself every day, but I'm going to stop doing that because 1) my weight fluctuates so much, even throughout the day, because I'm nursing and 2) I just don't trust my scale. I will continue with everything else (drinking water, counting calories, etc.) I just won't bother weighing myself for a while because I don't believe what I read (up or down) anyway! : )

*Okay, I changed my mind. I am going to weigh myself everyday because I do want SOME sort of record. So, here's my compromise, I'll weigh myself everyday (on my scale, which I think is less-than-reliable) and I'll record it as what the "scale says" rather than what my "weight is." It's just semantics, I know, but I feel better about it! : )
Took a walk with the kids, pushing the baby in the stroller. Definitely not a "workout," but something.
Took another walk with the kids, this time w/o the baby (no stroller), but with my 2 year old in the back pack.
Now - drum roll please... I'm on my way to the gym. My plan is to walk there (a 5-10 minute walk), do 20 minutes on the elliptical, and then walk back home. *** I did it, just as I planned! It was no where the workouts I used to have, but it was SOMETHING and I'll continue from here! : )
