even though im gettin a workout every morning an i still keep stepin on the scales and not seeing any drop, only in inches, i was reading another article on the internet...cant see why everyone has an opinion on how to do it...would make it so much easier if we was all the same, and only one opinion of how to get it off... article is here ...anyways after reading it..i got to thinkin how i have been slackin on my eating lately and mabye i need to look bck thru my food menu and see what i was eating 6 months or so bck...mabye change back to when i was loosin in pounds along with inches...i dont feel like im gainin...but just wish the scales told the whole story...my salt intake was way outta line yesterday...so its water, water, water today...already workin on 60 ozs...i also went to gym 30 min sooner today was in ther at 4am...an added another 30 min on to my routine..when i was walkin..i was doing an hour walk an then an hour in the gym..so today i decided 2 hours in the gym would equal what i was gettin when i was walkin in the mornings...and really i wasnt as tired as i expected to be when time was up...so im hopin by addin more time on, i will be gettin the workout i was back during the summer months....

water and the importance of drinking it everyday!!!!....goooood mornin everyone!!!...was reading online yesterday and ran acrost this article on water...thought id pass it along...

Water
We can survive without food for about 5 weeks
but we would not live without water for more than than 5 days.
Two-thirds of the body consists of water. It is our most important nutrient.

The body loses 1.5 litres of water a day through the skin,lungs and gut and via the kidneys as urine, ensuring that toxic substances are eliminated from the body. We also make about a third of a litre of water a day when glucose is 'burnt' for energy. Therefore our minimum water intake from food and drink needs to be more than 1 litre a day. The ideal daily intake is around 2 litres.

Water is needed - directly or indirectly - for every physical and chemical process that takes place in our bodies. It acts as a transport system and delivery service taking oxygen, nutrients and other essentials around the body and into and out of our cells. At the same time it acts as a removal service helping to clear away all of the waste and toxins that our bodies produce. It helps regulate our temperature and produce the energy vital for the body's daily workings.

As beauty experts know, water is nature's best moisturiser. Without it the skin loses its elasticity and 'plumpness' - much like a sponge becomes deflated when it is dry and can become aged prematurely. By drinking sufficient water, you can re-hydrate your skin from the inside

Constipation can be a result of dehydration. If your fiber intake is quite high but you still have trouble with constipation, it is most likely that you are simply not drinking enough water. When dehydrated the body will hold onto all the water it can. The result is that soluble fiber cannot soak up water and therefore cannot do its job.

Apart from being essential in the production of antibodies and interferon (our body's weapons against bacteria and viruses) water also has a more obvious role to play in the fight against infection. Mucus coats the insides of our noses, lungs and guts and its protective barrier is one of our body's first lines of defence. Less water means thicker, dryer mucus and less protection. Similarly, if you are suffering from a cold or flu then drinking plenty of water can help flush out the infection and rehydrate you.

Kidney stones are formed when calcium present in the urine separates out and collects in small lumps. Drinking plenty of water helps keep calcium dissolved in urine, aids kidney function and also helps reduce the risk of cystitis by keeping the bladder flushed free of infection.

Tea, coffee, alcohol, refined foods, soft drinks and pollution all contribute to the build-up of toxins in our bodies. A well hydrated body is able to flush out these toxins much more efficiently.

There is increasing evidence to suggest that dehydration can have a detrimental effect on our moods. When dehydrated we can become irritable and prone to mood swings. So stay happy by drinking plenty of water.

as i said an article i read online....and thought id pass it along to anyone thats finding it hard to keep up with their daily water intake....

well have a great day....keep drinkin the water....catch you all later!!!!
