Goal Weight:	150.0 lb

following: Rubie-sue is Sliming Down
performance: Steady

This is it for me, and I know we all say it and say it over and over. This time though it is, how do I know? Because this is the first time I have ever gone public with a diet. I've told my family, friends, I'm posting my weight here in FS, and I've even started to blog about the whole experince. So this is it!!!

And if you'd like to see my blog it is at:
sheddingtheextracoat.blogspot
(Of course it ends in .com but it wouldn't let me add it)

All public, no more hiding and being ashamed!!

How Much Water Do You Drink?
Wow..sorry about the spelling errors!! Yikes!!

How Much Water Do You Drink?
I drink a lot, and when I don't I can see the differnce in everything. My muscles get tight, my skin is dryer, and my body functions aren't as regular. And yes I do feel it helps with your weight loss too. I have read two important things about water in my education process about good living.

The First, which I've read in a few different places: Is that your muscles are surrouned w/a fine membrane, like you find on your chicken or steaks, and if you don't drink enough water they will become tighter and stiffer. Thus, you get the feeling of being crampy and tired...and not wanting to work out. Whether this is true or not I cannot say, but I do find for myself it tends to be true. If I don't drink enough I feel stiff and tired.

The Second I cannot confirm and have only seen it once: For every 5lbs your over weight you should add 8oz more water to your daily intake. Now mind you when I worked this out I was "holy crap are you kidding???" Unless I want to live in the bathroom I cannot drink what it worked out too, but it did make me more accountable to the amount I do drink a day.

So....after this tangent of ramblings: YES!! WATER IS GOOD!!! DRINK IT!

Hubby losing fast
It is all their dang muscle mass. Stinkers! I am married to the incredible shrinking man, and at times it drives me nuts. We are both on the same program and he took off like a shot, me more like a low pumped beebee gun. After a bit though he slowed down and I sped up, and yes I tired not to gloat, so now we're about even. Even though it does irritate me, I find that it also is motivation to keep going. But don't let him know that, then he'll get all cocky and do that annoying little dance! ;o)
