From K:
No sooner did I decide that I was a failure at food related
goals, then the one that I am setting for myself in the month of November is to
drink more water. I think I can be successful at this for several reasons a) because
I’ve done it before, b) because I’m trying to follow doctor’s orders, so I have
fear as a motivating factor and c) because I also want to try to go to yoga
more, and I always drink more water that way because otherwise, my hot yoga
class may kill me.
Another friend of mine at work is trying this as part of
Rachel Hollis’ #last90days,
but that would mean that I would have to drink half my body weight in
ounces. That’s a lot of water! I would never succeed at that and my work
schedule could not accommodate all of the time lost visiting the
restroom as a
consequence. M is right when she says that one’s goals need to be
measurable, so
I need to pick a more reasonable measure. For me, that’s going to be 48
ounces (or
two full 24 oz. bottles) a day, which is a pathetically small amount of
water for a
regular human being, but for me, it will be about 36 ounces more than I
drink
on any given day right now. Perhaps you can see why the doctor had
something to
say about this.
