Purification Day 9, Championship Sunday!

Purification Day 9.

Sunday was an anomaly. I didn’t cheat, but I didn’t do everything right either. It’s funny how you get into a rhythm with things when you are busy. My workweek is more structured than my weekend so I know when things are supposed to happen and plan for that. Sunday was a lazy day. I ran some errands in the morning and then of course, being a guy, I had to watch the AFC and NFC Championships yesterday.

As a result of having a non-structured day was that I missed my taking one round of my SP Green Food supplements and I didn’t drink enough water! I really felt a difference in my energy level when I didn’t hydrate properly. I think I managed a total of about 30 oz all day (not including my smoothies).

I was definitely more tired yesterday but what I really noticed was that my sleep was off last night. I woke at 3:30 with a vague sense of anxiety. I was able to get back to sleep but it wasn’t a deep and restful sleep. I woke again at 5:15 and didn’t get back to sleep. My alarm went off at 6 AM as usual and I found myself starting the day a bit groggy!

I am resolving to drink the required water for my body weight today. I got up and had a 16oz glass of hot lemon water first thing. It perked me up for sure.

Hydration is so important! Over 70% of Americans don’t drink enough water and it has major concequences for their health. Water is essential for every chemical process in the body. It is certainly impossible to have good elimination with out water!

How much do you need? It depends on how active you are but a good rule of thumb is a half-ounce of water for every pound of body weight. You simply take your body weight number, divide it in half and that is the number of ounces you should be drinking every day. If you are very physically active in your job or work out a lot, increase that number to two thirds of your body weight.

Essentially, with the exception of your first urination of the day, your urine should be clear or straw colored. If it is darker than that you are possibly dehydrating yourself!

Well onto day 9. I have to go organize my cooler for the day and get ready for work.
