H2O

I was recently reminded of how important it is to drink plenty of water. Not only when being active, but just in general. While I was pregnant, I tried to up my water intake because I wanted to keep myself as healthy as possible. But I really wasn't good at it. I already felt like I was frequenting the bathroom a bit too much, and drinking 8 cups of water a day wasn't going to help. But I still wanted to try, so I ended up buying a water bottle so I could keep water around me all day long. I have since learned that my water bottle holds approx. 3 cups of water. So if I fill it up 3 times a day, I'm getting 9 cups of water. This last week I had gotten out of my water bottle habit, so I'm picking it up again. I know they say how important water intake is, just for general health. But I have learned more specifically that when being active, drinking extra water will keep you from getting as sore. I'm all for not being super sore. (Speaking of, I wasn't horribly sore today. Hooray!) So if that means drinking extra water, I'm on board. And who isn't thirsty after a good workout anyway? Cheers for H2O.
