Howdy Ya'll

Ladies,

I am glad to be part of this group.  My name is D'Lonna Nelson.  I live in Coppell, TX.  I have four active boys ages 11, 9, 7, and 5 years old.  My husband is a vascular surgeon fellow which means he is gone a lot.  This means I eat a lot to keep myself company and awake to keep up with my boys. 

The truth be told I love to exercise!  I could run or work out for hours and just be in heaven.  BUT with that same enthusiasm for exercise, I also have it for cooking (AND eating) sweets.  Pinterest is killing me with all the beautiful desserts.  The week of no sweets will be a toughy for me.

Here is my secret to water intake.

Yes, that is a 64 oz Race Trac soda cup.  And yes, I may or may not have at open point use to fill it with Diet Coke.  But don't worr, I put it to good use now.  I fill it up with ice and water (and a little Crystal lite to masked the nasty taste of TX water) at the beginning of the day.  I then take it with me everywhere.  I do get a lot of looks, but I love that I have cold water on hand all the time.  I also know once it is empty I have reached my 8 glasses of water for the day.  I have gotten to the point that I can even drink one and half of these.  The only problem:  my boys do not understand why I have to go to the bathroom all the time.  Here is to 3 more days of frequent potty use!
