About Me

My photo
I started my weight loss journey at 19 years old weighing 274 pounds, wearing a Size 22-24. I lost 115 pounds over two years, and was wearing a size 8! I got married, let my determination fall and I slowly gained 50 pounds of that back. Then I got pregnant and added another 55 pounds onto what I had lost. I am down 35 pounds so far and 70 pounds away from my goal. Join me on this life long journey!

Water water water

I'm sure you all know that we are to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day...but do you know why?!

Here are some fun H20 facts:

Two-thirds of a human body’s weight consists of water. Humans need water for circulation, respiration and converting food to energy.

Water consists of three atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms and an Oxygen atom, that are bond together due to electrical charges.
Humans drink an average of 75.000 litres of water throughout their life.
In a five-minute shower we use 95 to 190 litres (25 to 50 gallons) of water.

All of these fun facts were found on Google. I have recently seen how many cups our body uses each day and how it is used but for the life of me I can't find the information now...do any of you know?

Some people have trouble getting in their daily amount of water - but it is very important for your bodies well being to make sure you get enough. Because you body uses so much water just by drinking the right amount you will start to feel better immediately. For those that don't like the taste of water try simple things like adding cucumbers, lemons, or oranges to your water. You can also try flavour shots or crystal light. Or if you use automatic body, your phone app will send you reminders when to drink your water!

Do you drink enough water?
