Water is critical for health; however, I would be careful about telling people to drink a gallon per day. Not everyone has healthy kidneys, which flush the water out - when kidney function is decreased, the blood becomes "diluted" and it throws your sodium balance off (called hyponatremia), also termed water intoxication…

Congratulations! You know what I've noticed is that as this process happens, there is something inside our spirits that change & it shows on the outside. Your pics show it beautifully...you look more "free"...in your face, your eyes, your smile. The one of you in the ocean with your arms up is my fave - it captures this…

HI! I, too, am in the dissertation phase of my doctorate & when I graduate in May, it will have been almost a 5-year journey. I am also a mom, wife, full-time teacher, etc., so I can understand where you are coming from. I've put on weight myself through these past few years, and have always been a little "chunky" & not a…
