But I know I need to keep it up, I can't keep dehydrating myself just because I don't feel like drinking water. My body needs it, period. <br /><br />I don't know if you eat much pasta anymore, I thought you said you cut back but the half whole wheat pasta and half zucchini julienne sliced on the mandoline was AMAZING. I'm not saying replace all pasta with zucchini because it's not the same but it helps bulk it up and is only 3 calories vs. 210.Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-26868811331969901882015-03-03T17:27:49.258-05:002015-03-03T17:27:49.258-05:00I drink one gallon of water a day, except on weeke...I drink one gallon of water a day, except on weekends when I tend to really slack off. I find that I cannot drink really cold water, either. I like it cool or room temperature because it's easier to drink that way for me. Portion control is my issue more than anything else. My brain and eyes have been trained from years of overindulging that portion sizes are about 2-3 times what they should be. My brain refuses to acknowledge that a 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes or pasta is a true serving size. That's like two spoonfuls for my mouth! LOL Retraining my brain has been my mission this year so far. When I can overdue it even on vegetables, that's a problem. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-26582044281500768022015-03-03T09:04:47.652-05:002015-03-03T09:04:47.652-05:00That's a good plan, especially when you don...That's a good plan, especially when you don't have to think about it, you just grab and drink. I hope you feel better soon and make sure you're eating enough to help that bod heal.

I have a 32 ounce bottle, and 30 ounce bottle, and a 20 ounce tumbler with a straw. So that gives me 82 ounces by the end of the workday, and then more when i work out. I'm working on cutting portions, some meals are easier than others. With this wicked cold/flu/malaria thing I've got going right now I don't think portion control will be a problem for a few days. Choking down enough food to survive may be.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-30351679820983961362015-03-03T07:54:22.271-05:002015-03-03T07:54:22.271-05:00No, our portions are definitely not out of control...No, our portions are definitely not out of control especially Sun-Friday. Saturday could use some help which we've discussed but we'll give this a go and see if we can scoot things in the right direction.

Sometimes you have to get real with yourself and even though we might have cut our portions in half (if not more) when we were at full capacity, it seems like if we want to get back on that weight loss train it's going to take a similar change again. However I want it to be clear, our portions aren't necessarily out of control, it's just that they are spot on for maintaining weight at this point. But we don't necessarily wish to maintain a weight that is still obese and that is why it is time to get the portion slashing going again. It won't be easy at times but I think if we both stay committed to it we'll be successful.The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
