So the mini challenge this week is: Are you drinking enough water?? The process of burning calories requires
an adequate supply of water in order to function efficiently;
dehydration slows down the fat-burning process. Calculate how much water
you need daily here based
on your body weight, activity level and environment temperature.
Remember, the more you sweat in exercise, the more water you will need
to drink.
So, I calculated and depending on the heat, I need to consume 98-114 ounces of water. Man, I feel water-logged just thinking about it. As you all know, I have a hard time drinking my water. I will do okay once in awhile, but unless I'm sweating like a pig, getting me to drink water is just so difficult. :/ But, as part of the challenge, I'm going to do my best to get at least 60 ounces of water. I just don't know if I can do 98-114 ounces. I'm going to try, though.
Unfortunately, I have to report that Monday didn't go so well with drinking my water. In fact, I didn't drink any water on Monday. Tuesday wasn't so hot either, though I did manage to drink a glass and a half of water. So...12 ounces, maybe? Awful, I know. But it's soooo hard! LOL
It's still early and I have to spend some time outside this afternoon at Kyle's baseball game, so I should get some water in me then (I know, I should drink it throughout the day, but that just doesn't happen). And if I get home early enough after the game, I'm planning on another run - 2 miles, at least - and that should help me drink some more water, too.
See, all I need is a plan. ;) Now I just need to follow through...

I can usually get in all of my water Mon-Fri. Its the weekends that I have a hard time with :)
ReplyDeleteI add 1 crystal light (or store brand that is way cheaper) to a 32oz nalgene bottle and man I can drink it in like 10 mins. I have found i drink the most water when I am in my car too. I can down a liter on my errand running but i do need to go to the bathroom as soon as i get somewhere. I think if you start drinking more water running may get easier.
