One of the best things you can do for your body to start the year off on the right foot is drink WATER!
With all the other drink options the world has to throw at us, sometimes water can get caught in the midst and sadly takes last place. But it’s the one thing our body needs the most and actually helps with losing the belly fat. Basically it’s natures remedy for weight loss. It’s pretty amazing what your body can do, if you let it, by just giving it the nutritents it needs!
Healthy nutrition. Water. Exercise. With a few cookies mixed in here or there! hehe
I have never been of the mindset that diet is the way to lose weight. I have seen too many friends and family go on the newest and greatest “diet scheme” and seen them not follow through or not lose the weight. To me going on diet is not a sustainable way to live nor is enjoyable. There is always a sense of failure attached if you don’t “meet your goal.”
That’s why I decided a long time ago I would never diet. I would live a healthy lifestyle. Eat foods that are good for me, things that my body needs like greens, fruits, grains, meat – about 80% of the time. But in that 20% if I want to go out and grab a burger I’m gonna do it, or if I want to have wings and beer one night because there’s a big game on I’m gonna do it. No guilt. You have to treat yourself every once in a while. Ya know.
This year one of the things I wanted to work on is drinking more water throughout the day. I know I don’t do it enough. I usually have one cup of coffee in the morning and then one around 2pm. In between those times I’m out and about and will drink water. I have a 27 oz. bottle that I keep at my side all day and usually will drink it about once, sometimes twice … if I’m lucky. But ya’ll…. that is NOT enough water to be drinking, especially if I’m working out!
How Much Water Should You Drink A Day?
There are many different philosophies on how much water a person should drink per day. I’ve seen some people say, use the 8×8 rule which is drinking eight 8 oz. glasses of water per day. Some people say you should be drinking between .5-1 ozs. of water for every pound you weigh – sooooo if you weight 160 lbs. you should be drinking between 80-160 oz. of water a day!

Fruit Infused Water has been on my “must make” list for a while. And since I’m trying to drink more water AND it’s January what better time to make it than now!
Lately I have been all about grapefruit so I knew that I needed to make a citrus water using grapefruit, and then raspberries just made sense plus they are pretty to look at.
