Good morning!
The weather here in East Tennessee is HORRIBLE!! It is making me sluggish and unproductive. I had an annoying headache yesterday so I didn't get any exercise in. However, this morning I woke up determined to not let the weather get to me! I began my day with warm lemon water.

I don't really feel like I have lost any weight this week. My husband was off work this past weekend which is always a recipe for disaster when it comes to my eating. I have exercised everyday except yesterday though so hopefully that will help!
I will be back on Thursday for a weigh-in post!
Have you ever tried lemon water? Does the weather affect your physical and mental state too?
The weather definitely effects my mood. We've had cloudy skies and rainy days for what feels like a month. I'm ready for some sun ( I will even take the cold)!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the portions for the lemon water? How much lemon to a cup of water?
Yep I drink lemon with my water. Well mostly when I'm at restaurants. I like it. But that's ice cold water. Yes the weather affects me. I hate weary dreary weather. It makes me tired and want to sleep all day.
ReplyDeleteI haven't personally tried it, but I know a lot of people do this for the benefits. I should try it...
ReplyDeleteI'm totally intrigued. Gonna have to look this up!
ReplyDeleteWeather definitely affects me, winters here in Iowa can be pretty long and dreary. :( Luckily today is a nice, sunny day!
