:flowerforyou: Hey guys, I received my HRM this morning and although I am over the moon, I doubt I will get a workout in today because I have come down with a nasty summer cold. Urgh... :sick: I have just returned from a 40minute walk with the poochie (he HAS) to be walked because of his routine and he'll start climbing the walls if I dont. Anyway, I returned homw sweating and over HOT! Eek! :grumble:

Anyways, I was looking through a booklet that came with the HRM and it contains some excellent information about certain aspects of weight loss success! It had a great little section about remaining hydrated and I thought I would share it with you guys, just to emphasize the importance of remaining hydrated.

Here goes:

The health benefits of water are too great to list but include the following:

♥ Transports nutriensts and oxygen to cells

♥ Ensures adequate blood volume

♥ Protects against heat exhaustion

♥Acts an insulation in the cold

♥Cushions Joints

♥ Suppresses Appetite

♥ Assists the body in metabolizing stored fat

♥ Relieves fluid retention problems

♥ Reduces sodium build up within the body

♥ Helps to maintain proper muscle tone

♥ Rids the body of waste and toxins

♥ Helps convert food into energy

♥ Maintains strength and endurance

♥ Protects organs


Get drinking that water peeps! have a nice day :flowerforyou:

ACHOOOOOO! :sick: :laugh:

    Thank you for the info!!

    I had hit a plateau in May. Was doing everything I was supposed to, but then when I started looking at my water intake, it was suffering. I started doing the 8 glasses and it knocked me off that darn plateau! Amazing what water can do. :)
