I am doing this Active for Life thing at work where we log our activity minutes and keep track of things for a few weeks. They just sent this interesting info on drinking water so I thought I would share this with the flist. I never drink enough water each day but am going to try...on a personal note, when I stopped drinking Pepsi, I lost 20 pounds - no joke!

Begin paste info....

Awareness of what and how much you eat is important when managing your weight. However, when it comes to drinks and fluids, many people don't realize the number of calories they're drinking. If you're one of those people who drink their calories in the form of smoothies, juices, sodas (diet or not), coffee, tea, and their blended variations , you might want to re-think your drink and consider how liquid calories affect you.

So Christmas is over but I am leaving my tree up for a while. I worked so hard on it I really want to enjoy it. At least until New Year's.

I had a wonderful lazy Christmas with my friends in the hills. Their kid made out like a bandit so that was cool and I got a few, very thoughtful gifts. These very funky pillow cases that are handmade by J**** and very bright! Green and orange. I LOVE them. I see a whole new scheme for my bedroom now. I want a sky blue comforter. Must have.

This morning I woke up to find that I had no running water AGAIN. O.o It is not our house this time, it is the water main in the street that is leaking. They had to shut the whole block down. My neighbor was nice enough to go get me some bottled water and I had two jugs left over from last time so I am set. What a pain though. This is getting old.

I would like to thank everyone who sent me gifts and cards...I am not organized as of yet and will do a more specific post later. But it really made my holiday this year. Thank you all so very much. *huggles all of youse*

Today I am going out to hit the shops. J**** and I have it all mapped out. A strategy for the after Christmas sales. Huzzah. This is when I start for next year! He he he.
