Hey ..... I haven't forgotten about this - really!
Have you been remembering to breathe deeply? I've been making a conscious effort to take 5 deep breaths several times a day. I usually do feel more energetic after those feasts of Oxygen.
The second essential is one of which we are all aware....
DRINK WATER
Ok, that is no surprise, right? We all know that part of any weight loss strategy is the intake of at least 8 cups of water every day.
Do you know that water is needed for everything your body does? The human body is more than 70% water. Nutrient absorption, blood flow, respiration, elimination, and your ability to see and hear require adequate consumption of pure, clean water. Your body cannot effectively store the water you need throughout the day.
So drink water often. Don't try to guzzle it all at once so you can move on to coffee, tea, or soft drinks. Drink water often during the day.
I seem to go in cycles on this point....I'll do real well for long time - in fact, after just a few days of discipline, I crave water over any other beverage. But then, I'll 'fall off the wagon' for a few days and I'm back to needing to think about it and discipline myself.
Which leads to a question.....WHY do I need to work so hard to do something I know is not only good for me, but which I know I will enjoy? I have proven to myself that drinking lots of water absolutely helps with the weight control. I have proven to myself that water quenches my thirst better than anything else. I have even noticed that I feel better and more energetic, generally, when my water intake is up.
It is the age old question.....why do I do the things I know I should not and do not do the things I know I should?

We're human, with human failings. I think we just block out what is good for us at times. We KNOW what to do, we just don't DO what we know is best for us. I'm still working on that every day. Water isn't usually an issue for me, but I have more than enough other issues to make up for that one! :)
