oh my fruit water

Let's talk cucumber...I love cucumber...cucumber water...not so much.  Kudos to the person that likes it cause that shit is nasty!  I drank it though, all 96 ounces on day 1 (Feb 2nd) because it's supposed to be a good detox drink.  I did pee a bunch but was it really because of the cucs or just the water?  Hahaha... I'm feeling the same way about the orange water right now that is being stared at and not consumed.  The kiwi strawberry in between was good.  I switched to fruit infused water because I gave up sugar and plain water is boring.  Now as I'm reading labels I seriously question how far do you really need to take it?  My favorite crystal light says it contains zero sugar but ingredient #3 is corn syrup solids.... hmmm... wtf is corn syrup solids?  I'm not really sure I want to know the answer to that and hence I'm still staring at the orange water trying to figure out if I can make it taste any better quickly...without adding sugar or stevia...

I should just do what I did yesterday and hop my very tired ass onto the treadmill. I completed week 2 day 1 of a running to lose (couch to 5k) app yesterday.  Let me tell you, I have an extreme, immense borderline love/hate relationship with the trainer who came up with that shit.  Running for 90 seconds doesn't sound like much but when you're 200 lbs and semi-old it's hell....I have to have my music going just to keep me moving and right around the time I think my legs are going to give out uptown funk or bad romance comes on and I think I can do this....and I can sing and dance while doing it....hahahahaha!  If you ever see me out and about with broken glasses, a broken nose, teeth missing and a fat lip we'll all know how that turned out.  I seriously believe I could make one of those "how you think you look....how you actually look" memes when I'm in that moment.  I've also had some serious visions when I'm goofing off while attempting to run of things going bad and me totally eating shit.  It's not pretty in my head and I don't even want to really imagine the pain that would come along with it.

The no white flour is actually going fine even though I am so used to eating pasta by the bucket.  Lots of protein and lots of veggies.  I've been eating fruit also.  I also had baked sweet potatoes one night.  They are yummy and I kick myself for snubbing Tina's mashed sweet potatoes for the last 10 years or so...sorry Tina next time I'll try something before being snobby about it.  Just think... if sweet potatoes were never turned into deep fried french fries I never would've tried them...and I seriously wonder sometimes how I got this fat??
