Your Body Needs Water

I started this weight loss focus again last week and for a few days I couldn't figure out why I wasn't dropping any weight and was even gaining on some days, even though I was eating cleaner and walking daily. Then I remembered to drink more water! I began drinking water and then the weight started to slip off again. Fantastic.

I really can't stress how much water plays a crucial role in weight loss and health. I drink about a gallon a day. I fill up a gallon jug from my Brita pitcher first thing in the morning, that way I don't have to try to count glasses or chug water in the evening.

You can feel the difference almost on the first day. Your weight loss plan will become MUCH more efficient. Your body begins to clear itself of toxins and junk (not the technical term ^_^) and you just feel generally better.

Drink more water, guys. Seriously.

I'm Back!

Hello!

I realized today that there really is no point in retiring this blog until I have really become who I want to be, right? What kind of weight loss blog would it be if you never got to see the end result?

So I'm back.

My weight is back up to 200 lbs, not because the HCG diet failed, but because I have blatantly gone back to my old lifestyle. I'm done with it! I miss what it felt like to be strong and for my body to feel clean and free of the automatic bloat that crappy food gives you.

I plan to finish this up and get down to 160 lbs the old-fashioned way, with a lot of work and habit changes. I want to change my lifestyle this time, not just lose a bunch of weight as fast as possible.

I started a video log of how far I've come, what I look like now, and what I plan to change in the next couple weeks.



Thanks for sticking with me and I'll update again soon!
