Lose weight the fun way.

TIP 2

Hydrate All Day Long

Did you know that sometimes if you have a headache, it’s really your body screaming for water. Sometimes when you think you are hungry you are really just thirsty. (http://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/does-drinking-water-help-you-lose-weight)

Then I found the best motivator (for me, as I am 57 years old!) I found on the internet is this article(http://hiit-blog.dailyhiit.com/hiit-life/woman-drinks-gallon-water-daily-30-days-see-happens/) What happens when a woman drinks 3 liters of water a day for 30 days! Kinda explains why you see celebrities carrying water bottles everywhere! (by the way 3 liters = 101 ounces)

Whether you choose to drink water or tea. I hope you will choose to stay hydrated as your body tells you. And just to be clear, water along with your meals not instead of your meals!

I'm working on this. I use the Water Your Body app to remind me, and I've generally been managing to get water drinking up to 90+ ounces. And hey, all that walking to the bathroom (occasionally running) helps me get more steps each day!

this came at the right time for me!! I have been having a problem with drinking my water during the day. I am just short of the 3 liters a day.

Yes. I know drinking water is healthy, but for me, that dramatic change in appearance of her face! It was like a face lift! and how cheap also! and without the 3 month or 6 month healing time! That's for me! I need to tape that picture up everywhere. Maybe on my big 40ounce glass! hahaha

Louise, your posts are so wonderful and encouraging. If you get a chance, look at the Ordinary Vegan's Earth Day Challenge which starts tomorrow. It is a plant based game and I thought you might be interested in at least looking at it.

Louise

aw. Thank you. You are so sweet. and.. I just sent an inquiry to the organizer. I am vegetarian not vegan, so I wanted to make sure it was a good fit.

I'm flexitarian but eat a lot of vegetarian and vegan foods. But if I really feel like eating fish or meat sometimes I do. .

A pint of water, 16 oz, weighs approximately one pound. For fun, try weighing yourself, then drink 16 oz of water and weigh again.

Louise

Really! I did NOT know that! I do remember a Biggest Loser season where ... I think his name was Eric but might have been Neil (it's been awhile) but he gained like 17 pounds before a weigh in. It was obviously water weight just over done... and he kept denying it. The denial instead of the admittance of game play turned me off the season, but still.... WOW! 1 pound! ok.. and good to know! thank you!

It was Neil...such game-play! But fun TV :)
