Water

[hey_nelson]

Yesterday I began to increase my water intake as I have been reading I must do. I nearly got down 2 full quarts of water. Yesterday I weighed 286 which was a 4 lb loss (yippee). Today, I was not supposed to weigh myself as I'm trying to not live on a scale, but, I did. I jumped on and Im 288.5 . Don't know if its the water cause I've been running to the potty. And I don't think I ate out of range yesterday either. I had 2 scram. eggs for breakfast. Lunch was shredded pork with broccoli and colliflower and cheddar cheese melted on it. Dinner was a chicken salad. (chicken breast sliced on romaine lettuce. with Mayo dressing)
Its not my TOM. But heck...As I'm reading in the book and reading her in the forums, I know my weight will fluctuate and its the inches that will tell their story but you know, my feet and calves were real tight this morning. I usually have that problem when I've eaten too salty of foods but I did not yesterday. Oh well.
I will continue to flood my body today and hopefully run to the potty more.
ONe thing I have not given up is my coffee. I know i'm not supposed to have it or at least change to decalf. One step at a time. I drink my coffe early in the morning, and before bed. (oops and right now as I'm typing this too.) Another addiction to conquer I guess. When I dried up and stopped drinking I missed the burn and flavor of my drink until I replaced it with the coffee. I'll try, little by little. Small steps. I'll try.

love and prayers

Re: Water

weight loss will fluctuate daily . you know from your thight calves you are retaining fuilds and that will leave you when you hav exceeded your biochem tolerance for it.

check your chicken and see if it was chemically inhansed at the store with a sodium solution. the diffenece in natural nothing chicken andsodium enhansed can be 400 mg of sodium

Re: Water

I made my coffee half and half (decaff and coffee) for a couple of weeks and have switched now to mostly decaff cuppas (I still indulge in the odd 1/2 coffee, mostly if I wake with a slight headache).

Re: Water

Never thought of the 1/2 Coffee 1/2 Decalf... I will try that. I know once I tasted instant decalf and did not like it, but again it was instant.

Thanks for the suggestion Odille
peace and blessings
