The water game...

Dieting and water go hand in hand.  Nutritionist, trainers, etc will all suggest ample amounts of water along with a balanced diet and exercise.  The trouble with water is that it makes you have to pee!  You add that with the fact that especially at the beginning of a diet/lifestyle change you are drop mad amounts of water weight and the bathroom becomes your new hang out spot.

Last Monday I really got to business and have found that I'm feeling really good about being on this healthy choices train.  I actually lost just under 8lbs in 7 days!!!  The second week is never like the first, so I'm hoping for a 3lb loss this week.  We'll see.  So needless to say I have been frequenting the restroom because of the water intake and water weight loss... good times.

Main thing I've learned about the water game is that you have to get all your water in before 2-3 hours before bedtime, if you don't you'll wake up in the night like a pregnant woman, so I've made it a point to cut off food by 7:15pm and drink by 8pm at the latest!
