I made it through the first day!

With day one pretty much under my sizable belt, I have made a few observations.  If what all the nutritionists are saying is true, this will not be too hard at all.

As per my normal routine, after waking up I ate some yogurt ; only now instead of Danon lite, I had some organic all natural Greek style yogurt, about three ounces.  A cup of organic coffee, black.  A little later I had two slices of sprouted grain toast, with two organic free range , certified happy, eggs (over easy) and a third of a Granny Smith apple.

I ate 10 raw almonds as a little snack but it did the trick.

For dinner I had fresh line caught flounder about 6 ounces.  Stewed tomatoes and white beans and free range spinach.

The deal on water intake is this:  take your weight in pounds and divide by two.  This is the number in ounces that you should drink every day, plus add 8 more ounces for each caffeinated beverage you drink.  For me that is 133 ounces (a gallon is 128).  The kicker is that this (formula) is what all people should be drinking... all the time.   It goes like this.  Drink some water.... work a little while.... stop to go pee... work a little while.... stop to drink some water... work a little while.... stop to go pee... work a little while.... stop to go pee... work a little while.... stop to drink some water... work a little while.... stop to go pee... work a little while.... stop to go pee... work a little while.... stop to drink some water... work a little while.... stop to go pee... work a little while.... stop to go pee... work a little while.... stop to drink some water... work a little while.... stop to go pee.  Repeat.

That's it for today, tune in tomorrow!

Bald Bill

  1. They say each person's ideal water intake varies -- some people literally drown in the amount of water another person requires.

    For a while the pendulum swung too far with the water recommendations, but now, like most things, it's swinging back.

    Best of luck!

  2. Just tuning in, most of the adults living in our culture spend their time in a functionally dehydrated state. Unfortunately, we rarely pay any attention to this fact until our bodies go on strike. I will be very interested to hear what changes you feel or see, however subtle they may seem, with this addition of a systematic and consistent hydration. Keep moving, you inspire us all!!!!!
