Day Three Hundred Forty Nine

Did my 3 miles today!
I attempted to do my Bowflex workout today, but I was just tired. I couldn't get myself to do it. I talked with Lisa and she told me to just take time to rest. I've had so much crap on my mind lately and it's really weighing down on me today.

I did do my evening workout tonight. DDP yoga, followed by 40 crunches, 20 cross leglifts, elevated leg swings, pushups, and finally finishing it off with my dumbbell workout. That really made me feel good. Tomorrow I'm going to do my morning workout after my 3 miles for sure.

One thing I decided is that I'm going to go easy on water for the rest of the month. I've been so damn tired of exercising and drinking a gallon of water per day. Oh man, I swear everyday it's just water water water. I tend to be one of those ppl that if they don't stick to their routine, the world just ended. I don't want to be that way. If I don't do exercising for a day, so be it, as long as I do it the following day. (But I'm going to try to not let that happen and keep it up consistently) Same with my water. If one day I'm just so tired of water and don't finish the whole gallon, then just put it aside and try again the following day. I mean, I have been drinking so much water and what really pisses me off is that the only thing I really seem to have gotten out of drinking a gallon of water per day, is that I gained weight AND I have to go to the bathroom a lot more. That is really what came with it for me. Yes, my weight increased when I switched to drinking a gallon of water per day. I don't know how that happened, but it did. No it wasn't my diet because my diet never changed and I was actually doing more workouts than I ever had before by doing Bowflex, DDP yoga, Weights, Ab Lounge, Exercise bike. I mean all that put together...and I ended up gaining weight! That was so fudged up. I was pissed. Anyway, so that fact lingers in my head. I always thought (because of what I read) that water is supposed to help you lose weight, not gain it. Then I read that when you first start drinking water and hydrating yourself properly by drinking a gallon or more per day, then your body which most ppl spend in 80% dehydration throughout their lives because they don't drink enough water, your cells will retain a lot of that water to rehydrate itself, therefore your water weight will increase. I truly believe that is what happened to me because I kept up my workouts and my eating habits were good, yet I somehow had a weight increase. Crazy! Still, I didn't let that get me down, I kept right at it. It's just at this point, after doing this stuff for almost a year and being just mentally drained from all the stuff going on with women, along with stress from money issues, I'm just zero'd out!
