Can Water be BAD for you?

Water is a good thing right. I mean the experts say; Drink 12 oz of water before a meal to help with digestion and to make you feel full faster, Drink Water – Thirst mimics hunger, Drink Water – It will help flush toxins. Well while all those tips are correct, TOO MUCH water can have adverse effects on the body.

Day 4 – 329.4 = 59.4lbs to go!

Day 4 – Down 5.4 pounds. Not a bad start considering that all I am doing is changing eating habits. My workout or lack of workout routine really hasn’t changed much. For some reason I have zero energy. I really can’t put my finger on the cause. I guess it could be a few thing, laziness, lack of caffeine, lack of food, who knows for sure. I am sure ready for this energy boost I have been reading and hearing about. Part of it could be the cold grey weather here too. Even though I do no like hot summer weather, I really do believe that the sunshine helps build your sprits and increases your motivation. I enjoy yard work. I like to take a yard that looks unkept and work it back in beauty. I enjoy the look and the pride it gives me. Of course today when the weather is going to be awesome, I am stuck at work. Oh well, I get to it soon.
