Water... Water.....Water......Dec 29 2007 17:03
Hi Everyone! Just dropping in to touch base and see how everyone is
doing! I'm ok on this end - just a low-key day here. Wes is making a
roast for dinner tonite - sounds good to me! (He's a chef by
trade.) I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Working on getting all my water in, in preparation for the January Water Challenge. I read a couple of sites yesterday that had water calculators on them (thanks Jules!) and according to them, I should be getting in at least 16 8-oz glasses of water! I have a hard enough time getting in the 8-10 glasses, I would think at 16, I'd FLOAT! lol Most of the calculators don't let you go above 250 or 299 lbs, so if you weigh more than that, I would think your water intake would be more, right? I also read somewhere that an easy way to figure it out is take your weight, divide it by 2, and that's how many ounces of water you should have day. If I did it that way, I'd have to drink about 195 oz (or just over 24 glasses). YIKES. Now I *know* I'd be floating -- or living in the bathroom all day! That's insane. According to the site (below) that I found earlier today, I should have 237.37 oz (or 29.67 cups) a day, based on my correct current weight!
For those who are interested, or want to make sure you're drinking 'enough', here is a calculator that will take any weight:
Hydration Calculator
by the way, it gives the answer in liters. 1 liter = 33.814 oz.
Happy drinking! Will write more later.

Thanks for letting me know - should be working now - fixed the link! |
ok, i got 5.54 liters. i don't know how to convert. will have to figure that out soon ;) and hope you didn't think i was saying bad about the stuff. i have a med cabinet full of samples. when i stopped one kind cold turkey after i freaked, i was weepy for 3 weeks... cuz it torques the brain... so instead i just get seriously blue... the only thing i've found helped in years, really truly helped is coming here every day... and slowly i'm doing better all the time but it's a freaking rough road sometimes, eh? well, anyway, jsyk... my choice, not cuz i think others shouldn't.... or mean to imply that... we all have to find our own path. i'll have to reread that tomorrow cuz i sure didn't want to say that... and yanno, these darn forums are so public and googleable. |
Okay, I knew I forgot something this morning! Thanks for reminding us. WATER. Great photo too--makes me thirsty. How was your dinner made by the chef? |
:) The dinner was good. He does really good with the meals. Can't complain. |
