Truly I am amazed at how much thirst I have since consciously starting to drink it. And I believe that it is the direct cause of my waist getting thinner. I have no idea how many inches I have dropped... but my hands just fit around my waist much better than they did 2 weeks ago.
In school we are taught that water is a building block upon which we cannot survive. It is the means by which things are transported in your body. The blood is liquid because of the water in it. Things are transported through cell walls using osmosis... again requiring water. Our waste system depends on water. Without it, we have no way to get rid of the toxins in our body, thereby making our bodies extremely toxic. I have known all of this and more for years, but never could get into the habit of drinking water, even when pregnant. Well, I guess it's certainly better late than never.
I was proud of myself last night at the bar when we went to shoot pool. Skipped out on my usual White Russian and got a bottled water instead. One of my teammates looked at me as if I'd lost my mind. I just kept thinking, "A White Russian is NOT going to quench my thirst, plus it has a mother load of calories."
So, I'm proud of myself for making smarter choices and drinking my water. It's not much, but it's a start. Next week I'm going to try to get in the habit of doing pushups and situps at night. We'll see how far I get with that.

Ok.... so our bodies need water? j/k. Ok, so tell me this oh wise sage, how does one break the caffeine addiction? At work we have free unlimited softdrinks, and it is SO hard bc of my caffeine and sugar addiction. Even after water, I start to just CRAVE a cherry coke. It's so hard when it's right in front of your face. Any ideas? - Love you btw.
