They have topics of concentration each week. This week is exercise. My favorite exercises are on the Wii. I have never found anything that I like to do more than work out on the Wii. We have the Wii Fit. I love the variety of exercises. Each day I can do different exercises in these areas: balance, aerobics, strength training, and yoga. Back in March I posted about my routine on the Wii... HERE is the link... if you are interested. There are some links to videos on YouTube of the games I play the most.
- Exercise at least 3 days and hopefully 4 or more, on the Wii. Exercised 2 days on the Wii and made excuses the other days.
- Drink my water... at least 48 oz... but strive for 64. Some days I was successful, others not successful, others I didn't keep track. So, How do I keep track of my water intake??? Do I write down each cup of water I drink? No, I use rubber bands on my cup. My daughter likes how I keep track of my water intake and said I should share it on my blog. I thought I had already done that but I looked and I never really explained it. My cup holds 16oz of water. I try and drink 6-8 8oz. cups of water a day... 64 oz. total. That would be 4 16oz. cups, so 4 of my cups is my goal each day. That is my cup in the picture on the right. Each time I fill my cup I put a rubber band up to the top. When I fill it up for the 4th time then I know when I have drunk all the water in that cup that I have met my goal for the day. So to fulfill my goal I have to drink at least 3 and hopefully 4 full cups of water a day. Each day I start with just 1 at the top again, when I fill it up in the morning. I have still not found my journal for keeping track so I have been writing my water intake on a calendar. I hope this gives you ideas of how to track you water intake and I hope this particular trick helps someone drink more water and track it better.Keep track of what I eat and don't eat junk food... stick to Weight Watchers diet as much as possible. I did not track my eating. I STILL need to find my Weight Watchers calculator and note pad where I keep these records.
- Eat more veggies and fruit. Did better this week but not great. I should do really well this week since we purchased a lot of fruit and veggies at Shady Maple Farm Market yesterday.
- Don't snack after 8pm. Mostly successful on this. Need to keep it up.
- Get to bed earlier... goal is computer/tv off at 9:30, read for 1/2 an hour then bed at 10pm, but any improvement on the after 11pm late nights I have been doing will be good. I think I got to bed early one night. But I am working on it and I did get off my computer early 2 or 3 nights. So... I am doing better, but not good.
Weight stayed the same - 244.7 lb
I updated my weight loss ticker.
I weighed myself on Tuesday... I missed exercising on Monday. Next week I will start weighing myself on Wednesdays.

Goals for Next Week:- Exercise at least 3 days and hopefully 4 or more, on the Wii. I am only working out about 30 min. a day. When I was really loosing I was working our one day for an hour and at least one day 45 min. and then 2 or 3 days 30 min. I really want to get back to that.

Great job in working towards your goals this week. I love your idea for tracking your water intake! Thanks for linking up with WLW.
