Water, Water Everywhere

It’s amazing that our parents ever survived without carrying bottles of water everywhere. Actually, my father would have laughed himself silly if I had suggested to him that people would actually pay more for a bottle of water than for soft drinks or even beer! I don’t carry any. I’ve found that it’s available pretty much everywhere thanks to a plumbing system invented during the Roman Empire.

You’ve heard it many times before. Water is a dieters friend. It helps fill you up. Just don’t overdo it. There are those rare cases of water intoxication. In unusually high amounts it can dilute the electrolytes in your body and cause severe problems. Just drink a big glass a few times a day. If you’re on Atkins it’s necessary to purge your body of excess protein. It will also keep you regular. As a bonus, all that hand washing in the restroom will probably fend off a few colds too!

TODAY: TAKE THE STAIRS.

Plan For Tomorrow Today

I’ve found that by planning my meals the day before gives me a chance to really enjoy them more. And research has shown that enjoying food makes it more filling and satisfying. I’ve been on the Atkins diet and I have an egg breakfast every day. By planning how to prepare those eggs, what meat to have (like leftovers from dinner) and even what condiments to use makes that breakfast an event. It’s like setting a goal and reaching it. So I start the day with a diet victory. As a bonus, I often get to try new things. Have you ever tried a barbecue omelet?

Dieting is a life extending change. So plan your diet menu for tomorrow today and you’ll have more today’s to plan too.

TODAY: PLAN YOUR MEALS FOR TOMORROW. THINK ABOUT THEM WHILE YOU’RE WALKING.
