? ? ? Sunday Vows ? ? ?

Today I vow to: ? eat fewer than 1000 calories ? drink a minimum of 80 oz. of water ? go to Oxford, visit my dad and rest from exercise ? clean up my home office I kept yesterday's vows but I didn't get my water drinking all in until late and that kept me up half the night! grrrrrr I had 759 calories, 70 grams of protein, 100 ounces or water and spent 2+ hours working in my flowerbeds for exercise. Oh yeah, and I did get in that nap I vowed to take yesterday! How did you do with your vows yesterday and what are you vowing to do today? Have a blessed Sunday. DeeDee

DD, I had problems with my water yesterday too. I did not get it all in. Drank diet Mt. Dew instead so got fluids but not pure water. Was about 3 glasses short. I did take my walk and you helped inspire me to do that and cleaned some more in the office. Today I vow to Mow the lawn after I get off work at 6pm Drink 8 glasses of water-- it seems harder when I am at work but I also like to choose other beverages. Spend at least 20 minutes in the office room. ( I am making headway!) Good Job on your vows. Will check in tommorrow.. Lucy

Whew, you have a busy day today! I know what you mean about drinking water at work; I have the same problem. You shouldn't have any trouble drinking it if you're out sweating with yard work though! Good luck to you today. I can empathize with the office clean up... how do we accumulate so much junk?! DD

Today's vow is to really watch what I eat. We are cooking out and having my husbands family and a few close friends over to say bon voyage as we leave for Texas Tuesday. He won't be coming back as he took a transfer down there but I will until our house is sold up here in MI. I tend to really nibble and graze when we have these so I need to be aware of my surroundings. I did so so on my vow yesterday. I am working on it though. How is the weed picking coming? I just got done pulling a few from my flower beds and watering everything. Have a great day DeeDee. Hugs, Connie

Oh those dreaded family food feasts! It is so easy to graze when there is food sitting out just calling our name. I do hope you have an enjoyable day with family. I'm heading to Oxford, MS today to visit my dad and I just HOPE there isn't a peach cobbler cooking in honor of our visit. I managed to put in about 5 hours of flowerbed work this weekend and they are looking great again. The knee surgery had me out of commission for a while and you HAVE to get down in the dirt to work in flowerbeds. I'm giving a bridal shower in September so I'll be doing a little along the way until then. We did finally get MUCH needed rain yesterday afternoon so everything perked up nice and happy this morning. Good luck with your commitment today... I'm sending you good wishes! DD

My Vow today: ~Run 5.5 miles ~fuel my body healthfully ~Hydrate my body healthfully ~vitamins ~Lara -212@goal

Hi Lara! Is that running 5.5 miles with a smile on your face or is that enough beyond your previous 3+ miles to make the smile more difficult? I'm impressed with you. I don't think I'll ever be able to run again, but I sure am enjoying picking up the pace walking. Hope you have no problems keeping your commitments today! DD
