So last weeks goal went less than stellar. I only brought my lunch twice last week and I ate out on a night that I didn't have a meeting. Not only did I eat out but I had dinner at Red Hawk Casino Buffet. I tried to make good choices, but at a buffet good choices are hard to find. But it's a new day, a new dawn and this week's goal will be to be stay fully hydrated. When I had my last assessment with my trainer he expressed some concern over my hydration because my body fat percentage was not consistent with my weight loss, which could be explained by dehydration. I knew that this had to be the explanation, because I seldom drink plain water, except when working out. So I've heard the general rule of 8,8oz glasses of water a day, but I took to the internet just to find some more general guidelines. What I found was a bunch of contradictory information from creditable sources. Some said the 8x8 rule was too much water and can over tax your kidneys; some suggested more that 8 glasses; some counted other beverages including soda; and others said that soda didn't count because caffeine is a diuretic.So after being totally confused I decided to just to increase my daily consumption of plain water so my goal this week is to drink 5 8oz glasses of water a day combined with my food and other beverages should keep me better hydrated.
