a's water-drinking problems

[Guest guest]

Dan & SandyRN and everyone else who shared advice about the water

drinking...

Dan was right on target when he picked out of my long " woe is me "

diatribe the fact that I was only getting in 6oz water per day and

exclaimed " THERE'S your problem! " . Although I'm nowhere NEAR up to

64oz (which I'm told is a MINIMUM), I did drink the " miracle " amount

of 24oz two days in a row, and yesterday managed to choke down just

over 30oz. Guess what? 2 lbs dropped off in the last 2 days. Looks

like that water got things flowing in the right direction (i.e. down

the crapper I guess!). And on an interesting note, that's even though

my calories yesterday were 30% higher than my normal daily average.
