The more water you drink, the less you'll be in the bathroom - if you stick with it. It takes a few days. Just a couple of days of decreased water and I have to build back up. Those days are enough incentive to not neglect water. My husband did say that his bp meds made it take a longer. But, the reason for all the bathroom breaks isn't because of the increased amount of water, it's because your body is getting rid of the water it has retained because it's not getting enough. Didn't mean to go on so, but water is an important issue for me.

I must say, this day was supposed to be my "easy" day for workouts. So far it's been a WATP interval workout, complete body weights (over 10K pounds) and another 18 minute mile on the treadmill. I'll get that second mile in even if it is the WATP power mile. Going to try to swim a quarter mile today as well - 35 times the length of my pool.

Thanks for the info on the water. My body tends to retain water very bad.The doctor has me on 80 mg of lasix a day. I don't know if drinking all the water serves it's purpose. I'll talk to the dr about it.
Great job on the exersize!!!

I do know someone who isn't able to absorb water properly so it could be that the water is just going right on through. Annoying how our bodies don't all act the same sometimes! :P

WOW!!!! You go girl!!!

Good Afternoon Girls!! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Not feeling like myself today. I know TOM is on the way which makes the days before very rough. I feel very short fused these past couple of days. And just getting everything ready for our court date next Thursday is just too much stress. And she is still calling daily leaving messages or sending messages. Its just ridiculous!!

That was great info on the water Diane!! I have been doing much better on the water the past few weeks. I drink about 32 - 36 oz a day.

Great job on the exercise girls!! Everyone is doing such a great job!! I got 2 miles in this afternoon. Man was it HOT out!! So i promised the kids we would get in the pool after I got some stuff cleaned up!!

Have a great day!!

Oh I forgot to say I will set up accountable partners today!!

Partners............. please let me know if I keep pairing the same people up. I can't remember from a few weeks ago. But I will do my very best to keep track!!! Do me a favor check your buddys list and see if Diamonds is there. If not could you please send a buddy request. Thanks!!!
