Water, Water Everywhere and TONS of drops to drink!
So the SBD requires you to drink lots of water, but this challenge I am now on is requiring us to drink 64 oz daily, which is the FDA recommended amount. Now, I’ve always considered myself to be a pretty avid water drinker, but boy am I realizing that I do not usually even come CLOSE to that much. I am ready to piss out my earholes!!!!! And I HATE peeing! I know that sounds quite odd and weird, but peeing annoys me. Going to the bathroom, sitting down, wiping, washing, gets REALLY REALLY boring. Not that I have anything better to do, but I just find it so monotonous. I am beginning to have a little penis envy. All guys have to do is whip it out, pee, wash. No sitting, no pants around the ankles. They don’t even have to take it all the way out!!!! I am not a lazy person by any means, but it’s too bad Depends aren’t socially acceptable.
I have been working on upping my water intake as well, to the point that it’s basically all I drink. (I cheat and sweeten it with liquid Stevia extract so it goes down easier.)
But what I really hate is that I have recently made a rule for myself that whenever I get up from my desk, I have to do some form of intentional exercise, just to make sure I’m getting SOME activity–every little bit helps, right? And with drinking all that water…well, let’s just say I’m not exactly slacking in the getting-up department. Oy.
So it’s get up, go, wipe, wash, then sweat for five minutes. THAT gets old, but hopefully it’ll get some results.
