Back to Health Basics: First Things First…
In this series, we will be looking at the basic steps to moving toward health. One step at a time…
2011. Did you make resolutions this year?
I find that setting new goal for the upcoming year, month, week, day or even hour to be incredibly helpful. Just the act of writing a goal down on paper or chalkboard is motivating enough to help make the difference…
I agree with Bob Harper of Biggest Loser when he says that the #1 tip to looking and feeling better is to stay hydrated! Figuring out how much water you should be drinking is NOT rocket science:
divided in HALF
=ounces per day you need to maintain excellent hydration.
In order to help me keep a general idea of how I’m doing, I use a glass that I know has 16 ounces and then just figure how many of them I need to drink. A reusable water bottle would work as well and is what I prefer if I’m out running errands.
Happy Hydrating!
*If you haven’t been drinking much water, try adding one extra glass today, then another extra glass tomorrow, until you’ve reached your hydration goal on a daily basis.
**I’ve already had 5 glasses today… I can feel a big difference- Wow!
***Never drink more than 33.8oz at one sitting (about a liter)

Thanks for the hydration calculation — I didn’t realize I needed so much water in a day!
