Thanks for the welcome guys! Wow this is an active list, I can

hardly keep up with all the posts!

On the water discussion one thing that I have found to help me with

the water is I bought 20 or 24 oz bottles of water with the pop up

sip tops. I re-fill them from the tap, but I drink one bottle AM

before work, 2 at work, one when I get home/supper and one in the

late evening. When I finish them, at least the home ones I sit them

beside the sink and refill them and stick in the fridge right before

I go to bed. That way I don't have to keep trying to figure how

many ounces I drank.

I find I do really well in my food choices for breakfast, and lunch,

but when I come home from work I have almost an anxiety that can

only be calmed by eating, and that is when I usually blow it and eat

anything in site till I relax. Trying everything to get through

this feeling, but so far nothing has worked well, even talking on

the phone, I am just a nervouse wreck until I can get something to

snack on. Right now, I am just trying to make the snacking healthier

choices, but I wish I could stop that feeling.

I have been trying at work to get lunch time exercise by doing the

steps in the building, I target for 10 flights in the day, but

sometimes only get 6 depends on my work load and appointments.

I really haven't lost much of any weight after a couple weeks of

making pretty good food choices, I seem to be retaining water, my

feet are swelling which they never did prior to my focusing on this

diet and exercise. I am a little bummed by that.

When I introduced myself I said I was working to get more fit

because my weight was keeping me from showing my dogs in a manner in

which I would like, so I thought I would include a link to my dog's

website if you would like to visit us! Hope that is Ok, it is below

my signature.
