We all know what good sources are and we know that our body needs water but how much? So I found online a daily hydration calculator. I was asked weight, fitness level, climate, and a few other questions. Once it was complete I was told how much water that day I need to consume. Today I need to consume 111.2 ounces. WOW I am not drinking enough water. I have a 16 ounce water bottle and need to drink 6 of them. I am only drinking 2-3 of them a day. With my healthy eating I can reduce my water to 89 ounces a day so I only need to drink 4-5 bottles a day. Time to increase the water.. Drink up everyone.
As a mother, significant partner, and a full time worker.... this woman does not have time for self care. This blog was designed to post my daily challenge and victories with all things life. How I plan to walk myself thin for fitness yet stop allowing my daily struggles to walk my mental health thin.

Water, Water, Water
Can you guess what today's blog is going to be about? You guessed it; WATER. We have all heard it before; our bodies need water. I am always being told that I do not drink enough water. So I researched how much water should I be drinking. I found conflicting studies and research. What I did find though was an interesting article that if you eat a healthy diet, about 20% of your water may come from the foods you eat. Water is an obvious source for your daily fluid needs. Other good beverages include mile, herbal teas especially green tea, low-sodium broth, and juice both 100% fruit and vegetable juices.

The easiest indicator is to simply watch your urine. If it's clear, or close to clear, you're drinking enough water. :)
