Tales from the Scale {Week 15}

Can you believe that almost $500 difference?  I don’t know about you, but $500 would go a LONG way to other things in our home!!

One of the things I continue to struggle with is my daily water intake.  Recently I read a post on {Natural} Mommie Daily Blog – 12 ways to make water less boring (& recipe)

The recipe she highlighted was something I tried.  It was pretty awesome!  Make it the night before, put it in the fridge, and do your best to drink the whole pitcher!

2 liters water (about 8 ½ cups)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
12 small spearmint leaves.

Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and let flavors blend overnight. Drink the entire pitcher by the end of each day.  Thanks {Natural} Mommie for sharing!  You can head over to her site to see more of the options.

I don’t have spearmint leaves, so I substitute a lime which adds even more vitamin C!  Another added bonus, when you dump the lemons, limes, cucumbers at the end of the day, your garbage disposal will get cleaned and fresh!

So now the part I am not looking forward to typing… I didn’t have a good week.  I ate at a Seafood Buffet when family was in town, I was craving chocolate and carbs all week long.  I was so bloated, I actually thought I was pregnant (I’M NOT).  But I am up 2.1lbs 🙁

This week’s lesson – don’t cheat, don’t cheat, and if you do, workout more.
