365:Day 6 ~ H2O

In an effort to be a bit healthier {and lose a little weight}, I have really been trying to drink more water. It’s suggested that people drink the same number of ounces of water every day equal to half of their body weight. Oof…that’s not very easy! I feel like all I do these days is drink water. I take this 30oz. bottle with me to the gym each day and try to force myself to drink additional water throughout the day…a minimum of 60oz. per day. It’s no problem when I’m at the gym, but wow…I pretty much gag it down the rest of the day.

My question is – why does water taste so great, perfect even, when you’re thirsty...and when you’re not, it’s slightly torturous to drink it? Ponder that, but don’t wait too long to give me an answer…I might float away! :)

Can I tell you how excited I am that I have TWO blogs with which I can stalk you? WOO HOO! Good luck with the water. I usually drink a lot of it myself - got into the habit during nearly nonstop breastfeeding for years on end.
