Water bottle = office staple

I completely forgot my water bottle at home this morning so I didn’t have one at work today. Because of that it took a lot more effort to make sure I was getting enough water. I’ve been much more conscious about how much water I’m drinking since I’ve started this new fitness regiment and having a large water-glass at work helps.

I find that if I just have a small glass that I need to keep refilling I don’t get up and fill it as often as I should. Today I actually made marks on my cup to make sure I was filling up when I needed to.

My cup for the day

That may have worked but I don’t want to forget my glass again tomorrow. I’ve been using this 20 oz. Caribou cup and it’s great! I’ve been drinking a ton more water and haven’t had any pop in over a week.

My new staple for the office

On a side note, I had a great trip to the gym tonight. I am completely loving this new routine of mine!

Workout playlist

Since one of my resolutions this year is to get in shape, I’ve decided I need a new workout playlist. I’ve never put together a specific playlist for my time at the gym but I think it’s a good idea. I want to choose songs that are going to keep me moving and keep me entertained. I typically work out by myself and tend to get bored (which sometimes cuts my gym time shorter than it should be).

I’ve searched through my iTunes library but I think a need some new additions for my workout playlist. I’d love any suggestions to add to my list. I appreciate the help in keeping me motivated!
