H2O

I know I've written on here before about how water is probably my biggest hurdle in terms of fitness. Isn't that hilarious? Not eating clean, not working out, but water. Simple, plain water.

I just forget to drink. And then sometimes I don't want to drink because I'm going to be driving somewhere or doing something and I don't want to have to stop and go to the bathroom. And that will surely happen if I drink.

I basically walk around in a state of semi-deyhydration all of the time.

So a group of my fitness friends are doing a challenge where for 20 days, each of us choose the number one "trouble" issue we face and address it.

I knew I had to go with water. It sounds like madness, but I knew I'd struggle to drink 64 oz. of water a day. There are people who drink a gallon, no problem! Eamonn is one of those people who drinks tons.

So the challenge started a week ago today and some days have been tougher than others. I do find that the more I drink, the more I want to drink. Weird. I was dashing to the bathroom the first two days, but since then my body seems to have adjusted.

And I have to say, it's a good thing that I picked water vs. food for the challenge. I just had three days in a row, not of crazy bingeing, but weight-loss inappropriate foods. Fritos and chili dog anyone? Mmmm.

I'm feeling the need to cleanse and am trying to get motivated to do it. I've got to make it through this week and then I think I'm going to do a 6 - 7 day cleanse (need to check my supply of materials). I'll let you know what I decide to do, but if you're considering any sort of cleanse, the fall and spring seasonal changes are supposedly ideal times to do it. I'm a few days behind, but I'm going to be a nut and do it anyway.

That's just the way I am.
