Water..

What is the amount of water you should drink each day? I was told I should drink half my body weight, or I should drink eight cups of water every day. Is that 8 oz, 12 oz, or a 20 oz cup you should drink? I have never liked drinking water 1 cup maybe, but more –

I now weigh 270 lbs. Yes, it’s a lot, but I am down 29 lbs in 6 months. Oops I got off of the subject. How much water would I need to drink if the water was in a 12 oz cup? Let me ask google another question. 

Google did say you can drink 10 to 12 cups of water, but that is without food. There is water in food, so with that in mind.  Here is a better answer to my question from google:

Practical breakdown

  • Water from drinks : ~8–9 cups/day (2–3 liters)
  • Water from food    : ~2–3 cups/day (0.5–0.75 liters)
  • Total fluids            : ~10–12 cups/day

I couldn’t bring myself to drink another cup of water, so I bought a watermelon, and ate until I was full. Water is in the name watermelon, so technically I had at least three cups of water today. A little water is better than no water at all.

Time to Move…

A thought came to me yesterday as I walked to the closest chair on my fifteen minute break, so I could take my shoes off, and stop thinking about work. This was that thought, “It is time I stop surviving and start Living”. I have known working paycheck to paycheck, with no savings, and more bills to even try to start saving. There was no time for a second thought, because fifteen minutes was over.

I had every attention to workout a plan to start rebuilding who I want to be, but once again life got in the way. Pain coming from every part of your body just wants to shut down and relax. Tummy yelling, “feed me,” and your nephew repeatedly asking, “do you want to play?” He sounds really sad when you tell him to give you a moment and not think about how you just played with him for thirty minutes before getting something to eat.

I lost track of what I was to do yesterday, but this morning two videos on youtube almost said word for word what I was thinking. The title had me clicking before I had my coffee or a second thought.

 I had planned to wake my nephew up earlier, but I have been waiting to start a tai chi workout, so I am going to keep my word, and do just that. I will also take out an hour to work on my book and go through some crochet blankets. I  am a little afraid to sell them on Facebook Marketplace, but I know who I am and who stands with me.

https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.41.10.NKJV Isaiah 41:10 – Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

A Two for One…

I started an app called noom vibe. It’s an app that will help me get back to the person I used to be. I realized I needed help, a good motivation to help me keep moving. It’s hard when you are alone in the physical world, but I know my Lord Jesus is with me every step, every breath, He is in everything I do. Through Him I will overcome everything that is in my way….

I know I should be drinking more water and eating better. I am going to make sure I rearrange how I think. I eat on how I am feeling. At first I tell myself I am going to eat a little at a time, because I don’t want to give up on food I like, and have been eating for years. That doesn’t always work, because it’s hard to stop eating good food. I was more active a few days (years) ago and could eat anything.

I was told by my doctor I need to add more vitamins to my diet. I know vitamins are good, but I am so over taking pills. There has to be another way?

23 Healthy Foods That Are High in Vitamin 

I like the idea of a two for one. I can go for a thirty minute walk (or longer if I am talking to someone or into my music) and get some vitamin D (don’t forget the sunscreen) as I burn off a few calories.

A Happy Surprise….

I signed up for a free app called, “noom vibe,” and so far it’s helping me keep my word. It’s an app that helps you lose weight. You don’t have to do it alone, rather it’s with family or friends or friends online. 

I have never liked drinking water and today was the first time I ever drank six cups of water, as was suggested by this app. I may only be able to do this when I am at home, but I am proud of myself for doing it.

I noticed one thing today? I rather drank warm water. One would think I was boiling water for tea all day, but they would have been wrong. I meant to add some lemon in one of these cups. 

I once told my doctor I was drinking water with lemon in it and my eyes opened when she asked, “why”? I couldn’t believe I had to tell her lemons are good for vitamin C.  I am laughing. I didn’t bother to tell her I was also drinking: lemon, ginger and turmeric powder at least twice a week. Oh, I almost forgot the black pepper. I either do a shot or add some hot water for tea. I will add an article that can say more on how good this taggy drink is for you..

I went for a walk earlier, one short workout, and I want to do one more before it gets too dark. I had to stop looking at the big picture, because there wasn’t any motivation. That picture actually stopped me from wanting to move forward.

One has to start from the beginning before one can get to the end. I am smiling, because I know I can reach my goal. I never thought I would drink so much water, workout more than once a day, or even sit down long enough to do some meditation.

Oh before I forget. On this enjoyable app there is, “fiton” and they give you a list of things you can do at all levels. If you have Roku you can also add it to your TV

For a better view.  Have fun for a better you.
