Hydration
Drink Some Water
Day 41
Cycle 1
Dear Diary,
Water... Good old H2o.
I know that staying hydrated by drinking water is key to my weight loss success. For me, drinking water helps curb my appetite and minimizes some of the cravings that I get between meals.
However, during the winter months, I seem to drink less water, primarily due to the cold weather conditions and prefer to have something hot to drink. I really have to force myself to stay on a regular hydration schedule. For healthy water intake, it's best to drink filtered water. Last summer, I purchased a Mavea filtration pitcher as my water filtering option for my tap water. It is made of BPA-free plastic, filters out 40 chemicals and minerals, and when full it supplies 9 glasses of water. The water taste great and coffee is amazingly good. It works great!
Sometimes drinking water can be boring at times and so occasionally I'd squeeze a organic lemon and or lime into a glass of water add a drop or two of Stevia for a yummy lemonade and limeade. The taste is incredible. I also like drinking a nice hot cup of freshly brewed green tea as well-that's another option. The other day I got real creative with my daily water intake mission and created what I call a Cranberry Cooler. It's very simple to make.
Here my recipe for:
Cranberry Cooler
- 1/2-1 cup of frozen cranberries
- 16 ounces of coconut water
Pour into a glass and drink. It's very refreshing and a great way to satisfy your daily water intake requirements. Yummy good too!

For healthy water intake, I follow these Virgin Diet by JJ Virgin's guidelines
- Put a water filter on every tap in the house( I use a Mavea water filtration systems)
- Track your water intake in your food journal
- Water will curb your appetite , but if you want more help add 5-10 grams of fiber into some water and drink it 30 minute before meals
Until Later,
Goodbye Diary,
