Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap
Good Monday to you fine party people! I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend. We kind of did. What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave. While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet. It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope! 😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes. I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot. I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter. Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...
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!
