The title of this post *almost* says enough. What it doesn’t tell you is how frequently I’ve gone to the bathroom this afternoon. Yes, I’ve started trying to drink a gallon of water a day to help the ol metabolism out and get some more energy / lose more fat.
People love the gigantor watter bottle 😉 It’s like a miniature water color that I can just attach to my face and gulp down…

I love how this post about wanting to lose weight immediately follows one about a run to Taco Bell. Oh, the inconsistencies of the male gender. Hehehe.
Hi-yo! I’m with ya on the whole downing water thing, brotha! However, I have to try drink most of mine in the morning before we go out for work, cuz unfortunately as missionary I don’t always have a potty at my disposal! Frizz! Oh well, it’s all for the “God Squad!” Hehe! =)
Lleweth: Hehe, taco bell alone isn’t necessarily bad. But anyone who knows me knows that while an individual soft taco has managable amounts of calories… I probably ate enough to make up for that 😉 Yes. The diet part to losing weight is still in the works I guess!
Kato: Dude. I’m becoming a water whore. Hopefully the body adjusts, because at one point yesterday I was getting up to pee every 10 minutes or so. I peed as I left the office, stopped at the gas station in riverton (only 5 minutes from work) and peed after filling up the gas tank, then when I got to Sam Hawk in Provo I nodded at my friends I was meeting and went straight to the bathroom. Hehe.. madness. I remember I always thought it was funky that you would have a water bottle in church.
It’s funny… I find for some reason it’s easier to drink more water if I just hold it up like in that pic and then just let it chug. I can’t sip from that thing and get enough water.
o.k. You were at SAM HAWK AND DIDN’t CALL MEE!! I am so hurt. As for the water thing…. We are in this health challenge at work. We set goals and then get points for the goals we make, yada yada… one of mine is to drink more water. The problemo is that the faculty bathroom is seriously like 100 yards away from where I am with my kids all day. Ugh! And I refuse to use the student bathroom. Ick! Oh well. I’ll just get my cardio in while drinking more water./
gigantor.. hehe
once in korea, i realized i hadn’t had anything to drink for over 24 hours. i grabbed a 1.5 liter bottle of water and laid down on the couch on my back and just chugged the whole thing. i have a picture.
I drink a ton of water these days too. But, that’s out of necessity. You HAVE to drink a boatload or you will die here. But, I can totally sympathize with the peeing every 10 minutes thing. I NEVER in my life had to actually wake up in the middle of the night to go pee until I moved here. Okay, that’s not exactly true, because I probably did that when I was a kid (or I just wet the bed . . . ha ha ha), but I never had to do it regularly until now. It was definitely the exception, but now has become the rule.
p.s. GO JAZZ!
