![]() ![]() The reason for this is that when you are dehydrated, your kidneys order your body to retain water. Additionally, check the colour of your urine is darker urine indicates water deficiency. ![]() If you are not sure you are drinking enough, pay attention to your body letting you know by feeling thirsty. If you live in a hotter environment or are frequently active, this amount should be increased to prevent dehydration. Ideally, men should drink around 3 litres of water while women should get about 2 litres exclusively from beverages. You have probably heard of the “8 glasses of water per day rule”, however, is this really the optimal amount for you? But when your body tries to get your attention and force you to finally have that glass of water, it is already dehydrated. Your body’s natural reaction to such neglect is called being thirsty. This has been a message from your friendly neighborhood honey badger….Many people have problems drinking enough water because they simply forget. I hope to see that 166lbs come Wednesday or Thursday! I was feeling really bloated and I still feel a little bloated so yeah, I hope to see good numbers come tomorrow or next day when Aunt Flo has packed up her sh#t and left the house. Surely enough when I got on the scale this morning it was down to 167lbs from being 170lbs all weekend. So, today, 8-30-11 is my day 4 of Aunt Flo kicking my *kitten* and this will probably be my last day of TOM. So, I feel a little better about that 4lb gain which can easily be contributed to water retention or just symptoms associated with Aunt Freaking Flo. To compare results and ensure nothing else was going on, I went back to my records from one month ago and surely enough I saw weight gain on the days prior to and during TOM. Had I weighed in only once a week and saw a 4lb weight gained, yeah, I would freaked the freak out!!! TOM is visiting so it is reflecting on the scale. So far, I've been juggling between 169bs and 170lbs since Friday. How can this possibly be healthy for someone who is trying to lose weight? Well, this is how it has helped me….įor example, last week on Thursday 8-25-11 I weighed in at 166lbs (which would have given me a +2lb loss for that week) but on my official weigh in day, Friday 8-26-11, BAM, I weighed 170lbs!!! TOM was around the corner so I knew what the culprit was. I don’t write down every single time I weigh myself but rather I record the morning reading. I have found it extremely helpful to be honest. Anyways, I started writing down and keeping track of every weigh in I did, every single day. I’ll even go to the extreme and be a little gross and tell you how stunned I was after an explosion in the bathroom to see a 1-2lbs difference on the scale. Amazing how in the morning you weighed a # and BAM in the evening you could weigh 3-4lbs heavier. At first it was more curiosity than anything. Ok, now that I got that off my chest, ever since I switched scales I started weighing myself twice a day. ![]() I think the hardest thing they have to deal with through the weight loss journey is the manbooblars. Don't you wish that some days you were a man? I know that during specific times of the month when our grumpy Aunt Flo decides to make an appearance in our lives, that is when I wish I were a man. ![]()
