Stay Thirsty, My Friends!

Unless you live under a rock--and if so, we don't judge!--then you know that's a quote from a beer commercial.  And not meaning any disrespect for the most interesting man in the world, please ignore that statement.

It's a new year and, of course, New Year's resolutions are coming at us from all directions.  Ignore them.  Yep.  Let's start a trend: NO MORE RESOLUTIONS!  Actually, resolutions are good--goals are better, but the point is that we don't need a new year to start over.  But since we're here at the start of a brand new year, I thought now would be a great time to go back and start again...with...water!

If you're like me, water's probably one of the first things you stop drinking during the holidays.  Oh sure, a glass here or there, but now we have options that are only around during the colder months--hot chocolate, eggnog, pumpkin spice lattes--and they create a sense of urgency around opting for that instead of the good ol' stand by of water.

If you need a reminder or you're new here [WELCOME!], you can always go back and read H2OMG!

Or if you want to immediately catch up on all water related posts, I've very nicely compiled a list [okay, blogger very nicely compiled a list]!

The point is that regardless of what you are or are not eating and drinking, your body needs water.  And I think you'll find [I did!  EUREKA!] that if you'll just provide about 64 oz of actual water for your body to utilize you will find yourself eating and craving less.  Give it a shot, what have you got to lose?  Except perhaps a bit of weight....and tiredness....and toxic waste...

~a little salt for your margarita, which of course will be preceded and followed by a big ol' glass of water!
