When I was growing up, and even while working as a nurse in the hospital, those things counted towards a daily fluid intake for people who had to have their liquids restricted. Soup. gelatin, even ice pops had to count. BUT, if you want to flush those kidneys of all the excess minerals and protein that have been building up, it's good old water that does the job. >I personally try > to do 3/4 water and 1/4 of one of the other two I mentioned. I ws one who *hated* water and would mix anything and everything in it to avoid drinking it plain. I lived on diet sodas until they took out the saccharine and aded aspartane, a substance I have a reaction to. Then I discovered seltzer and would drink *that* exclusively. After a few months my doctor took blood work due to a med I'm on, and found my electrolytes were totally out of whack. When I showed him my food log and he saw all that seltzer, he flipped! He said the body can only tolerate about 12 ounces of that stuff a day, *any* carbonated beverage, before it affects the blood's lab values. I was ordered off all soda and seltzer immediately. Now, if I have one glass of diet soda from a fountain a year, that's a lot. But I remember spending every morning of high school in the cafeteria with my friends before classes, each of us with a buttered roll we brought from home and a can of Tab from the school's soad machine. The breakfast of champions. You would be > surprised how good that 1/4 tastes. LOL To me, that one soda a year I drink is usually way too sweet now. I actually prefer water. Yeah, I know I'm weird.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Okay, I admit it...I suck, I hate water. I have this aversion to it ever since I had to drink a lot for an ultra sound and well, expelled it in a most indelicate manner. But I try...so today I have had 3 glasses of water, 2 glasses of CL, 2 glasses of iced tea with lemon, 1 cup of decaf= 8 glasses of fluid. Need more. I know. As Scarlett O'Hara said, " Tomorrow is another day " . Good news-I EXERCISED. Yes I did. I moved my big white booty into Curves today and shook my grove thing until it couldn't shake any more. Take care gals (shake my groove thing, shake my groove thing yah yah) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 > since I had to drink a lot for an ultra sound and well, expelled it in a most indelicate manner. LOL!! I had 4 or 5 of those things over the years, and there *is* no delicate manner to get rid of it, especially after a person has been leaning down on your bladder for a half hour with a cold, gooey paddle. >cup of decaf= 8 glasses of fluid. Well, it's a start. Try to change that ratio today, OK? And are these 8 ounce glasses? Maybe switching to a tall iced tea glass for the water (24 ounce) and a small juice glass (4 ounce) for the other stuff may help, at least subconsciously. > Good news-I EXERCISED. I'm glad to see your sinus infection has finally flown the coop and you *can* get down and boogie again without the head throbbing. > Yes I did. I moved my big white booty into Too bad we don't have one of those any where around here. It would be nice to have a place to go with other real sized people, not the model types that populate the few gyms we have in our city.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 i didnt do good with water yesterday at all. Im lucky if i got 8oz's in.. I think i only got about 4oz's in Oh well. Today is a new day right? Jase4567@... wrote: I would like you to reply to this email at the end of the day with the amount of water you have drank today. All the ones I receive by 8 am east coast time I will add up and post how many replyed and what the total was. So start drinking.... I know alot say water is water and thats it. BUT I have learned from other boards that some really have trouble with water. Some suggestions I have learned are crystal light, or diet ice tea. I know there are mixed feelings on this. So if you are a CL or Diet ice tea list it separate from H2O and I will count it in our total as well. I personally try to do 3/4 water and 1/4 of one of the other two I mentioned. You would be surprised how good that 1/4 tastes. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Well this was good (to make me accountable). I only had 60 oz... I drank way too much coffee... out of the usual.

I don't know what city you're in, but there might be one within a decent driving distance. There's a few 'hardbodies' in the Y I go to, but they mostly keep back in the free weights room, leaving the machine to us normal people. I've seen people of all shapes and sizes, some barely plodding along at a crawl on the treadmill, some doing reverse situps that just boggle my mind. Even the people who work at this one are mostly plus-sized women, aside of the head director and Drill Instructor Barbie.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 >... I drank way too much coffee... out of the usual. Must be something in the air. I not only had 3 cups of coffee and 2 tea (I usually allow myself one of each) but I *also* had a mug of Splenda-sweetened hot chocolate. I think I started something - I'm craving a second cup of coffee right now but I'm trying to behave today.
