Water is Essential!

Welcome back!

I hope everyone had a great day today!  Mine was pretty busy...so busy that when I sat down this evening I realized I didn't do so hot in the wellness department.  I started out ok...I had my IsaLean Pro shake from Isagenix, Let's see, I pretty much skipped lunch, I ate out at Burger King at 8:00 at night.  After the day was over I thought about the entire day about how could I have done better, besides cutting out the Burger King.  It wasnt really hard to come up with the answer because I have a hard time keeping up with it on a daily basis.  Anyone know the answer??

WATER!!

"Body water makes up a significant fraction of the human body, both by weight and by volume." - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_water)

When I started on the Isagenix program the first thing my coaches said was to drink half your body weight in ounces in water.  Sounds easy enough...right?  wrong...I love water but it gets boring after awhile.  So prior to 8:00am during the week, I drink 20 oz. of water with a scoop of Ionix Supreme and 2 scoops of Want More Energy by Isagenix.  After that it becomes a challenge.

I have to keep in mind that drinking water can help in losing weight!!  So, this is something I need to master!

So here is my plan:

I will continue to drink my first 20 oz. of water mixed with my Ionix Supreme and Want More Energy.

Ionix Supreme - "Now Super Charged, great tasting natural fruit flavor.  Ionix Supreme is a powerful, nutrient-rich tonic infused with natural vitamins, minerals and extracts from around the world that help support bodily functions, reduce stress,       increase energy and protect the body from the effects of free radicals and               oxidative stress—a key factor in aging.  This nutrient-rich powdered formula is now enhanced with standardized extracts to yield a higher concentration of bioactives to support energy and physical performance under stress."

Want More Energy - "Want More Energy?® is a refreshing drink powder loaded with electrolytes and nutrients that replenish essentials that are lost during stress and exercise. The B vitamins and ionic trace minerals safely charge your body               with natural, caffeine-free energy to support peak mental and physical             performance. "

I have just recently started adding Slim and Sassy essential oil, from doTerra to my water bottle.

         Slim & Sassy®

Metabolic Blend  -  dōTERRA®'s Slim & Sassy® Metabolic Blend is a proprietary formula of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils designed to help manage appetite between meals. Slim &               Sassy includes a blend of grapefruit, lemon, peppermint, ginger, and cinnamon essential oils.  Just add 8 drops to 16 oz. of water (regular size bottle of water) and drink between your healthy meals throughout the day to help manage hunger, calm your stomach, and lift your mood. For aromatic, topical, and dietary use.

Just a note:  I only use 4 drops of the Slim and Sassy to my water because the taste is a bit strong for me.  I tried the gel caps but I actually prefer the oil.

So the moral of my story is...BECOME a SPONGE!!  Drink more water and make sure that you are keeping your body hydrated!  It will keep water retention down and you may lose some weight in the process.
