Hydration

For a while now I've been boycotting pop (soda). I just stopped liking the carbonation. I don't see this as a bad thing, because obviously pop isn't the best thing for anyone to be drinking.
When I first stopped drinking pop, over a year ago, I had what my mom calls "caffeine headaches". Basically, withdrawals. I didn't mind so much because I got to sleep off these headaches. I do enjoy sleep (that, is not such a good thing).
Things got better! Unlike a lot of people, I didn't drink a lot of juice and flavored waters. I hate those! So much acid in the juice for me! I'm way too worried about my teeth to drink a lot of juice. Any type of flavored water made my mouth feel dry, which just made me thirstier. I went all out and I drink straight up water. I really do quite enjoy water more than any other drink. I do not understand how people can say that they don't like the taste of water. That makes no sense at all! It's pure and wonderfully cleansing. Although, certain bottled waters do taste revolting. I purify my water at home.
I do not know how much water I drink a day, but it is a lot. Which, consequently, means that I pee an awful lot. I don't mind it though. I feel good about that one decision.


I'm jealous of those who cut pop out of their diets and lose weight. I never lost weight from not drinking pop. I think perhaps I drink too much water, if that is possible.
Anyway, staying hydrated is a major part of exercise and weight loss. You need to keep your body hydrated! If you're losing water, put it back in. I'm somewhat addicted to buying water bottles (along with lip balm). I recently went through my collection and trashed all but one. I may go on a shopping spree and purchase a few more... I love water and so should everyone else.
