I make sure the water is always by my bed so I dont have to think when I wake up it. When I am drinking it is doesnt feel so good but 5 minutes later i feel great. The trick is to make sure you drink it first thing, because after breakfast its too hard to drink lots of water.

I normally am thirsty when I wake and since I haven't had breakfast yet, water seems like the more feasible thing to have before having that hearty meal. I will now be more consistent with drinking water after i wake. That would help to decrease the daily intake of 8 - 10 oz. a day.

However, the water retention is bothersome and the scale never lets up. I mean, a gallon of water weighs about 5 pounds, right??

I've also been a glass of chilled green tea with lemon and 1tblspn of Linseed powder morning and night. It sounds disgusting, but apart from having lots of omega-3 and antioxidants in it, it is also filling. It's my version of a similiar drink I've seen in another diet "That which does not kill me, will only make me stronger..."- Nietchzer.

I want to do the 50 minute on Saturday. That with the running my husband is making me do every night should get something done!!!
