Labor Day Weekend Recap
How do? It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do. I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline. Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday. I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad. I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges. Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them. Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem. I really don't want to bake my own cake so cupcakes it is and they looked like they hit it ou...
I drink 128 oz each day. I am pretty used to it now, to the point where if I don't get as much in then I get really thirsty. You have been doing very good with it and I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteI drink at least 160oz of water (5 1L water bottles) but it's usually more. About 16 oz of coffee plus 12zo for my protein shake (mixed with almond milk) and occasionally I'll drink diet cran - like last night I had 24oz of that.
ReplyDeleteI'm a tad absurd lol
I get about 96 oz of straight water (rough estimate) and I drink (average) 8 oz of milk every day.
ReplyDeleteBut it depends on the day. Now that it's getting warmer, I'll be drinking more water and probably more Powerade (I use it as a reward during exercise, "Keep pushing and then you can have a sip of Powerade!").
Bare minimum of 64 oz (2 - 32oz water bottles) but I try for 3 bottles and in the hotter months 4 isn't unusual. I do have to make sure that I'm basically done by suppertime or I'm in the wee hours too.
ReplyDeleteI drink 2-3liters:)
ReplyDeleteWhen the weather's cold, I barley get in 64. But when it warms up, I can drink upwards of a gallon a day.
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted on how the water drinking goes! I know I sure don't drink enough of it. . . I was doing really well for about a month and EVERYTHING felt better (my skin even cleared up and evened out!), but then life happened. Oh well. Time to get back on the water wagon.
ReplyDeleteThe more you do it, the easier it seems to get so the trips to the bathroom are less frequent. Hoping that it helps--it certainly should not hurt!
ReplyDeleteI've never been much of a drinker either-- of any liquids--it is the one behavior regarding consumption that was moderate for me. I didn't even attempt to drink the recommended amounts of water while I was losing weight and still don't. Good luck with the new plan. I'm guessing your results are going to be great!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I try to drink a lot of water throughout the day too. I drink it room temperature because that makes it easier to go down, although my husband thinks I'm weird for liking lukewarm water. :P
ReplyDeleteOther than making you full, what effect does water have on weight loss?

DeleteI average between 100-150 ounces most days of the week. I'm not as good on the weekends though. I don't drink coffee or tea so it's water most of the day, along with a Crystal Light packet every couple of weeks--they sit right on my desk, but I never remember! LOL!
