One of the things that I have heard is to make sure that I need to be drinking at least eight 8oz glasses of water everyday. 64 ounces right? Can anybody really tell me why that is? I mean, I know it supposedly flushes you out and all, which for me, I think everything in my body was "flushed" out on the first day (har har), but what is the real purpose of drinking that much water a day and who came up with that formula? If you can tell me then I'll send you something........is 50cents ok? How about a stamp? That's about all I've got these days. :)
Well, I have been drinking my eight 8oz glasses of water and then some. Plenty of some! I've actually been drinking half of my body weight in ounces of water. Why? I've heard that's what you are really supposed to do. I don't know if that's right or not but it sounds good to me. Some days I feel like I am going to float away. Water is pretty much all I have been drinking with the exception of some ff milk to eat with my cereal or I may have a DDP. But I have cut down the DDP's considerably since I started this a few weeks ago. I may go a day or two without one or I may keep the glass to a small one but I am for the most part drinking solely water. I actually had a glass of DDP today for lunch and kind of thought, Eh, this isn't that good. I really loved the fizzyness and burn of it in my mouth but I was kinda surprised that I had that first initial thought. I wonder if this is the beginning of the end of DDP for me? It just didn't taste right and it's a new liter. I just bought it yesterday so I know it's not the freshness or anything.
I'm beginning to think that maybe my taste buds are changing some? Last night I cooked David and me some tilapia for dinner. In the cooking process I normally add garlic salt to it. Last night, I added no more than I normally do. Well, when I went to eat the fish, I told David that my tilapia seemed super salty. I could barely eat it but I did anyway because I was hungry and didn't want to waste it. And today as I was fixing my youngest one some macaroni and cheese (yes, it was the easy velveeta kind...head hung in shame) I took a small bite of it to make sure it wasn't too hot for him and I noticed how salty it tasted. I thought WOW. David thinks that I am becoming sensative to the salt taste because of all of the water I'm drinking. What do you think?
Something else I've noticed is that even though I am drinking all this water....at night I seem to be so very thirsty. It's like I have a huge cotton ball in my mouth. By the night time, I have usually already had my waterage for the day so anything I drink is just extra. Any idea's on why I get so thirsty even though I've had enough water for the day?
A friend of mine told me that she was having trouble posting comments on here so I went and looked at the settings and had to change them, so I'm sorry if you have had any trouble being able to post comments.
