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.

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?

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.
