Day 60 - wisdom of the bands 3

3 - drink plenty of water, try to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water each day. For Example, if you are 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces of water. It will fill you up and cleanse your body all at the same time.

There was an e-mail from Patrick that did not support this. however, I have had a thought that, perhaps, buttresses this position. If people are drinking lots of non water (soda for example) wouldn't switching to water, even for questionable reasons be a step forward? I think that is a yes. I know I am better off when I drink coffee and water.

Today was fine. I kept an eye on the clock during the workout and I think that was a positive. I enjoyed doing the squats with the medicine ball and am happy that I can do V sits.

I must say that I did wonder today what the 2/3rds marker might represent. I have lost a little over 15 pounds and gained some muscle and fitness. I have learned a great deal and folded much of this into my real life. Today I thought about locking into a weight goal. I don't get a great feeling about that. I like the incorporation of the fitness and health into all aspects of my life. An example, I was walking to work today and noticed my reflection in the glass. The first thing to my mind was - God, I look great. News flash...There have been many years without that feeling. The cumulative good vibe of clothes fitting and feeling good packs quite a payload in terms of life satisfaction and confidence. I think I want to spend the next 30 days folding that in as completely and as purely as possible.

Go Team Go!

  1. The next thirty days are going to be incredible! We probably won't recognize ourselves! You'll see yourself in the glass and look over your shoulder thinking someone is right behind you.

  2. My point with the email is that water drinking isn't something we should overthink. Of course, any time you are drinking calories (soda, juice, alcohol) then the problems really begin.

  3. I think that's a great attitude to have for the next 30 days!
