We went out last night, so I slept in and it felt good. Maybe I overslept since I'm still tired? School is such a pain lately. It was so much more fun when I took only classes I was interested in. Why do I need a degree again? Is it to prove to others how capable I am? Does that even matter? I don't think so in the grand scheme of things. I feel like I was the schmo who was sold a piece of the Brooklyn Bridge (if you're familiar with the saying you get what I mean).
Fast food is evil. I have decided it is pure unadulterated evil. It sucks you in at 2 am, saying your hungry, why not, and we're all that's open. Sugar and salt calls my name around every grocery store corner. You can't go out to a restaurant and expect to be healthy anymore, unless somehow they cater to your need to be that way. Food for thought. "What is all this hoopla with drinking water, water and more water when losing weight?" I wondered. You always hear this but I certainly didn't know exactly what the science was. I mean ya, duh we need water but....
  • According to weightlossforall.com "Water makes your metabolism burn calories 3% faster."
  • Some people mistake water cravings, a drop in hydration for food cravings
  • Helps prevent over-eating
  • Modern processed food contain little water
  • A good rule regarding water; drink one ounce of water for every 2 pounds. Ex. If a person weighs 200llbs and they're trying to lose weight they should drink 100 ounces of water to gain increased energy and metabolism. Many of the functions of our bodies processes rely on water!
  • If your exercising drink water before, during and after workouts. Drinking water is necessary for the recovery process and provides the energy you need to push through that work out.
  • Water can also help reduce blood pressure, risk for some cancers, high cholesterol, and ease joint pain. It can improve the skin, healthy digestion, and increase metabolism
