My last weigh in wasn’t fantastic. I gained .4 oz. Very discouraging! I think there are a couple factors, but a big one is that I’ve not been drinking enough water.
Water. H2O. Agua. However you say it, it is the weight loss beverage. It is actually the beverage of choice for me, but the glacial water that flows from my tap is a tad cold for my poor stomach to handle at times.
How much is enough? Well, I understand I should drink half my body weight (in oz) of water every day, and more when trying to lose fat. This keeps the intercellular water higher than the water on the outside of your cells which is ideal. But when you are my size that is a lot of water: 168.5 oz to be exact. That is 1.32 Gallons. YIKES! I’m floating just thinking about it.
It can be done, I’ve done it. Some days it is easy and other days, not so much. And, once you do it a couple days you really don’t spend as much time in the bathroom since your body gets used to it.
We have these huge cups that, when filled to the brim hold 1 quart. That’s four 8 ounce glasses. I’m supposed to drink 5 of these a day. So far today I’ve had 2. Wish me luck… Bottoms up!
Oh, and those wondering about the tonsil comment, my dad used to say it when I was a kid and we were skiing or boating and he had to go. I always thought it was hilarious. Mostly because he (like myself) didn't have tonsils.
