There was a time when I drank lots of water. Somehow I went away from this practice, but now it is time to pick it back up. I am in the process of loosing some excess weight, so I believe drinking more will help this. Also, it is incredibly dry in my house. This is reflected in my skin and hair, so maybe hydrating from the inside out will help give me an outer appearance of health.
From yesterday to today I lost three pounds. Two days before, I had gained a pound and then the next day I added one more. Yesterday, I was bit a depressed by this, but then the echo of an acquaintance bounced around the inside of my mind. He said that the scale can be a tough companion and though it may be accurate, it does not allow for the fluctuation of life. In my case, with monthly cycles, it is inevitable that there will be times my body just weighs more. Now that I am tracking my weight, maybe I will learn when those cycles happen.
Things I did do differently yesterday included drinking more water. I took a long wall and kept up my food journal.
