Water weight

I'm down another 2 lbs (of the 8 I was up), so now I'm only one lb away from my lowest weight. I have been back from vacation, and lost 7 lbs in two days. Obviously, it must have all been water weight. That is crazy! Yesterday I ate 1480 calories, which is within my range, but more than I usually eat, and definitely more than I ate during vacation, except for one day. The only difference I can see is that now I am getting my water in.

While on vacation, it was so hard to get water in. With the lap band, I'm not supposed to drink 30 minutes prior to a meal, during a meal, or for 60 minutes after the meal. Every time I was around water at restaurants, I couldn't have any of it. I think that my plan to always rent places with a full kitchen going forward will help with the water too, and I will plan to buy a case of water when I arrive on vacation. Even at home, having a case handy makes it exponentially easier for me to drink my 64-100 oz/day.

It is amazing to see the difference water makes, so drink your water, folks!! I can't tell you the difference drinking more water (in place of so much diet coke) has made to my skin as well. I probably look five years younger from that one change. I look much closer to my age now, and not in my late 30's as I used to.

Drink up!
