Day 8

Water, do you drink enough of it? I certainly don't. I should and I plan on it. I get headaches without it. Not to mention the leg cramps that I blame on lack of hydration. Here's a few water facts for you:

Did you know that your body is made up of about 70% of water? It's kind of the same with the Earth, it's covered with about 70-75% of water. Did you know that you can actually die from drinking too much water though? Its some ridiculous amount that you would have to drink in a very small amount of time so its highly unlikely, but its still crazy to think about. A college student actually died from a hazing incident that involved chugging massive amounts of water, how sad.

Its recommended that you drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day. I'm going to guess that 8 out of 10 people probably don't consume this amount of just water. I mean "they" say that you can get it through other things as well and that's just as good, but I think 64oz of straight water without flavoring is the best bet. I used to be really great at drinking water. I knew all the benefits of it and what not and made sure I consumed 64oz or more a day...then life took over and it was thrown to the "I'll get to it" pile. However with us starting this biggest loser contest again, its getting me into drinking my water again. It makes me feel so much better, its part of my feeling better in 2010 "thing" I'm starting. Vitamins, Water, Exercise and Not holding back. It's the perfect remedy to make me feel better all the way around.

Well now get up and go get some water! =) Happy Friday!
