Weight Loss and Drinking Water

     Drinking water is a great aid in weight loss, but it is often hard to reach daily goals for intake. Liquid can make you feel more full without needing to fill up on calories. A previous blog, FitBit Obsession, introduced you to the FitBit health and fitness tracker. The device includes a water intake goal among the many daily goals it sets up for you. My goal is 48 ounces, and you are right if you think that sounds like a lot. I am an avid water drinker, but even with my imbibing prowess I am not able to make my goal. I often come close, but usually I am about two thirds of the way there. I guess that's why it is called a goal, right? It is attainable but not easy to do. I believe my efforts are made easier by the fact that I don't generally drink other substances throughout the day, aside from a glass of orange juice once in a while. As a result, I am able to count almost all things gulped into my water tabulations. This goal isn't just to aid in weight loss, it also has the great benefit of improving health and appearance. The additional hydration helps my skin feel less tight and fragile, especially during the dry winter months. Attempting to reach my water goal is worth the effort, so I will continue my attempts to quench this goal.
