Water is very important

If you don’t drink enough water you can actually get fatter. I have put this sentence right upfront because I know what works on you. So now that I have your attention, I will take it from the beginning. Water makes up 55 to 75% of your total body weight. Your blood is made up of ninety percent water. Reduction in 10 % of water can make you sick and 20% can cause a death.

If you do not provide enough water to your Kidney’s, your liver becomes forced to detoxify toxins. When your liver takes on this role, then your liver becomes less effective in completing it’s other jobs including metabolizing the food that you eat.
It is important that you drink enough water so that your liver can do it’s job to metabolize body fat as efficiently as possible.
If you don’t drink enough water then extra glucose remains in the blood until it reaches the liver at which point this glucose becomes stored as fat instead of glycogen. All of this nastiness can be avoided by drinking a healthy amount of water.
It is recommended that you drink plenty of water on a daily basis – make sure to drink water 20 minutes before exercising to ensure that your body is properly hydrated. It is also recommended to drink water after high carbohydrate meals. You don’t have to wait until your body signals you that you are thirsty. By the time you realize you are thirsty you are already dehydrated.
One of the best ways to check if you are dehydrated is to check your urine. Relax – just a quick glance below can tell you what you need to know. If your urine is dark with a strong smell then chances are you are dehydrated. The lighter and clearer it appears the better. If you really feel like you have to go to the toilet, but only pass a small amount of urine, this could also signal that your body needs water.
Our muscles are made up of up 70 to 80% water. You can very quickly see why drinking enough water is vital for performance.

Made it 13 days just JUICING.

Well I had 1 salad on my juicefeast .I think it let me go off of my juice quest ,because I am still juice drinking,but RAW FOODS are also added in my days too.I ending my pure juicefeast Sept12th,because I started the last day of August 2009.I so want to make it 21-30 days just juicing.I will try again some other time.I am proud of my time I did my juicing~I feel great.I am exercising at least 5 days a week.I enjoy the treadmill,elliptical and the rowing machine.I am feeling great.My left foot is bugging me and I am not happy with that.I have been slowly jogging off and on for 2 minutes at a time in a 1 hour span.This is a good thing because I don't run.I really want my fat to go away.It took years to get on me it won't go away on its own.I am taking my time and it will go away.If I put a date on when my weight should be gone it sets me up for failure.I am just eating raw and enjoying the ride. JUICE JUICE JUICE.Its awesome.Green smoothies are my second favorite to juicing~

Juicing is my favorite Raw Eating :-)

Now I don't know what it is about juicing, but I am loving my combinations that I come up with.I have been on my RAW PATH since Oct 2008 ,but exercise up and beyond my every day life has been missing.What is a shame is that I belong to my local YMCA and I have been waisting money.So when I made today's video and said its expensive to juice and sometimes I'm low on money.Well I feel like a fool considering I was wasting my YMCA dues by not going since probably January of this year.I have gone a few times ,but I was going approx 3-5 days a week faithfully prior to January. I joined the YMCA in May 2008.My goal is too not overdo my exercise.Back in 2002 I had a male trainer whom I loved( at another named gym(won't say ).I told him my lower left back hurt ,but he pushed me as most trainers do,and I hurt the lumbar spine area at that time.I couldn't walk but hunched over and very slow.I had to sit up in a chair with heat on my back and take Oxycontin to deal with the pain.This lasted 10 days.So back in 2002 I got scared my back would mess me up so I stopped exercising and the 40 lbs came back.This time I started changing my eating in Oct 2007 and have lost 27 lbs and still have 40 more lbs to lose.So lets get moving shall we.....
