They say that we should be drinking half our weight in ounces of water every day.
I've actually been getting closer and closer to that! I actually down 8 oz of water every hour. Then, I drink herb tea throughout the day. (I love using my teapot that I bought when I was in CHINA last year!) If the water gets too boring, I shake things up a little by: adding lemon slices, adding cucumber slices, or adding Crystal Light. My hair is more healthy, my skin is brighter and more elastic and I find that I'm staying fuller longer. I don't snack or eat sweets. I thought that drinking water was always so overrated, but I'm seeing the benefits of the stuff. I'm quite addicted and don't drink so much pop. I occasionally have one, but not like I used to! I learned that the carbonation used in pop can actually replace the oxygen in our red blood cells if we don't drink enough water and just drink pop. It also slows down the calcium absorbed by our cells! I so love my Diet Coke...but it's bad for me! (I know, they've been saying that for years, but I choose when to listen)Click HERE for a website that has some other good benefits of drinking water if you're interested.
So, here's to our health!

I need to try that. I never get enough water. Good job!
The problem with drinking half your weight in water, you also spend half your day in the bathroom. Can't do that too many days... :)
