I know it's all of four days into 2012, but I've got a confession or a relization or something.
Turns out I actually like water. I've only been drowning myself in it for three days, but it's not nearly as horrible as I thought it would be.
We've all heard the benefits of drinking eight 8oz glasses of water each day. It keeps you hydrated, your skin will be all dewy wonderful lookingness, you'll rinse 'toxins' out of your body, you'll lose weight, blah blah blah. For almost 25 years I've heard all that information and ignored it. I'd nod my head, smile politely and wish for the coke I'd left in the car as doctors would ramble on about water.
But now, in 2012, I finally get it. Water is awesome.
It will never taste like ice cream, chocolate, or cheesecake. But it also will never leave you with eater's remorse the moment you set the bottle down.
You'll probably lose a few pounds just running to the bathroom the first couple of days you drink your full eight glasses. But you won't be thirsty.
I've come up with a strategy that (so far - 3 days in) is working wonders. I use a 24oz bottle. 3 for the look of 1!
I set goals or time limits to drink the whole bottle. I use my mid morning snack as goal 1 (a banana around 9:30 with Live with Kelly). Then Sonic's happy hour, which starts at 2, is my second goal. That leaves me with 2 cups of water to drink before bed. Since I'm usually up until after ten that leaves 8 hours to drink 16 ounces. Not to mention a meal to have.
I can't believe I waited so long to listen about water, and it is so easy to accomplish.
What have you put off doing and then realized how awesome/easy it was?
