7 liters of water a day... I still cannot wrap my head around this. I was so amazed at the news that someone I know drinks this much water in ONE DAY. I guess my mouth is still on the floor because I do not drink enough water. Truthfully, the only watering I usually do is for my plants:) I was sharing all of this with David last night. As a result of our conversation, he went to work sharing his new water story. I just crack up when I think about this...TODAY, after telling his latest tale, he and a co-worker drank two and a half liters of water! They set a goal to drink even more tomorrow. It is a far cry from seven but still puts my water consumption to shame.
I was told once that I needed to try drinking only water to rid my body of toxins. They said psoriasis is a sign that I have toxins in my body. (diet coke=very bad toxin, I guess) I was also referred to an herbalist. I have not followed up with that advice but all of this water drinking has me thinking. I need to set my own personal goal. I know that I am a Diet Coke addict. I cannot have just one. I stopped cold turkey when I got pregnant. But, I do not want to quit completely because of the headaches I get. I am a sipper...and like to have a drink within reach at all times. So, I will only drink TWO tomorrow. I will sip on water the rest of the day. (Mrs. Emily will be thrilled with this news because we discussed water consumption in the lab sessions we had...I sure will miss that.)
Baby steps...trying to kick bad habits is not how I want to spend my summer vacation but I will give it a try. Let's go enjoy a nice bedtime glass of water...
