Day 7 - 1st week DONE

Alright! This is my 7th day, the completion of my first week. My first weekly checkup where I will hopefully have lost a great deal of weight. I'm hoping for 5 - 7, but feel like it could be close to 10! lol! That's my optimism shining through. I am an optimist at heart, deep down, under the hard boiled cynicism and sarcasm beats the heart of a young girl who really does believe in rainbows, unicorns and happy endings. lol! And that little girl is SURE that I will register a 10 lb loss. She will be ok if she isn't right though, she's a champion at dealing with expectations that aren't met and being OK with it. Cause honestly, any weight loss is gonna be happy news!

I'm also kind of scared, what if I lost hardly anything? What if I'm somehow retaining water and that will counter my fat loss? Oh these damn "worry" tapes that run through my head.

I'm guessing this is what every person in a program for losing weight feels like before their first weigh-in appointment. The questioning of one's own actions, did I do enough, why didn't I walk more, did I drink enough water? Did I drink too much? lol! I will know all of these answers later today.

So, let's talk about water bottles! YEA!!! lol! Part of my requirements are to drink 2 liters of water a day, on top of the 5/8oz shakes a day. This is actually easy to do when you love water like I do, so for that I am extremely grateful. But water bottles are awkward, cumbersome and difficult to fine the right size. Well, I've found the perfect bottle. The Arrow plastic 1 Liter bottle, found at CVS, Rite Aid and probably a ton of other places. And it's cheap!! In the store this bottle will cost you between $3 and $4!! It fits in almost all cup holders, it's light weight, it's handle is perfection. The only bad part is that it will crack easily if dropped, but it's so inexpensive that replacing it is a snap and super cheep. As far as I'm concerned this water bottle is the perfect design.

Ok, that's probably it for today. I look forward to my meeting tonight, I can't wait to hear how much I've lost! Wish me luck, 0 readers!!
