Water after blanching red cabbageThe first kilo has gone, and I'm already feeling:
- lighter
- brighter
- more energetic
- less moody
I still don't sleep soundly, mainly because of lots of aches and pains, and I still wake up with pins and needles.
I have started on some light exercise, but I haven't managed to drink any more water, really. I usually try and do this with herbal teas, as straight cold water isn't very appealing in the winter, but I don't think I've managed the required minimum of 2 litres. Maybe keeping the 2 l bottle at room temperature will help.
Why is water so important? Apart from keeping our vital juices going (saliva, mucus, digestive), it regulates the body temperature, it "maintains blood-glucose levels by releasing sugar from the cells as needed" (Suzi Grant, 48 hours to a healthier life, penguin). Apparently, it even helps prevent allergic reactions, so really important for hay fever and asthma sufferers like me.
But fizzy water encourages cellulite, apparently!
