Water, Water, Everywhere

This is a TMI, but it leads me into my new project. Yesterday I had a UTI. Ick, I know. Well, I took those little pain pills (the ones that make you pee bright orange) to get me thru before I met with the doctor to get my antibiotic. Big Mistake. As i was making the appt, the doctor's office told me that those pills skew the test and we would not get an accurate read which meant no antibiotics!

The office said, drink as much water as you can to flush it out of your system and we will have you come in later this afternoon.

I drank 120 oz of water yesterday. Did it work? Yes it did. So it got me thinking, how much water do i really drink a day. Not much, maybe a glass or two. So I am on a mission, I am going to try to put back 64oz of water everyday - I can't say that the 120 oz thing will repeat itself, I was in crisis.

Lets see if all the water hype is true shall we. Also, this moring, even the KGB was in on the act. He is drinking more water as well.

  1. Drinking excess amounts of water will flush your system of some vital nutrients. Be sure to throw a energy drink in if you do.
