To drink or not to drink....
Hey everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I haven't been around much this week, things have really been crazy with work and the snow. I have been keeping up my eating and exercising. The BL workout is getting easier actually, however my buns and calf muscles are still sore. I don't work out on Saturdays, but I do have to get up and start my work out this morning.
But before I do....question..... Do you get your "8 glasses or water a day?" I don't, I usually probably get in about 3. So yesterday I was at Wal-mart, and found the cutest clear jug with a handle that was 2.2 liters or 8 glassess worth. I thought that doesn't look like a whole lot. So I bought one, come home around 1, and filled it up with water. I finally got it all in. So this morning I awoke and remembered that I had heard somewhere a year or so ago that there was no benefit to drinking that much water a day. Check this out: www.webmd.com/news/20080402/health-benefits-of-water-oversold
However, after reading all the myths or drinking all that water a day, I think I am going to do my own little experiement with the water. What can it hurt really?
Yesterday after drinking all that water- I did fill full most of the day so it kind of eliviated some of my hunger pains!!!
I think I will keep it up though and see how it works. I do wonder what some of you think about it drinking all that water everyday... so give me your input, and in the mean time I will let you know how it's going with me drinking all of it.
There has to be something to it.
Anyways, have a great Sunday everyone!!!!!
Lots of love,
Kami

yes
I definitely drink all of my water. I have found after running my own little "water experiment" I tend to lose more when I do.
And I suppose, if my pee is slightly yellow to clear...all of those 'yellowing toxins' are not sitting in my body and staying there. If I drink all of my water, I can flush my system and get rid of them.

Me too...
I read all those articles saying 8 glasses of H20 was not necessary. I usually have at least 8 glasses of fluid, but it isn't always plain unadulterated water (tea, diet coke, aquafina flavored water). Still, when I do drink the from the well stuff, my skin looks clearer to me. And overweight or not, I'll take the clearer skin.
btw... the BL dvd makes your butt sore. I need something that reduces my butt, maybe I'll have to try that! = )

Yep
You don't NEED the 8 glasses, but they have benefits. Clearer skin, less hunger for example.
So I still drink them.

good experiment
I drink 10 glasses a day, plus a NF latte and a couple cups of green tea (usually decaf) a day. I have found that it helps me feel full, eat slower and lessens the urge to nibble and snack all day.
As for it's impact on the scale... who knows. :)
