"Honey, I need you to speed home. I've had like 13 glasses of water today and I got to pee."
"13 glasses?"
"Well the Sparkpeople thing says to drink a lot of water. And you told me it would flush out the fat cells. But I don't think its doing anything. My pee is clear."
"That's a good thing!"
"Huh? That makes no sense, peeing water means its just going straight through me."
"Yes, which is good. I sold water, I know."
"I am Googling it."
I'm sure my single friends are jealous. Does two years of marriage mean there is no trust, that Google is the authority? Do you talk about bodily functions with your spouse? Does it eliminate the spark?
Yes, Husband did sell water while we were engaged. But we've decided the company is full of, umm, crap.
Oh, and to add to that, awkward public bathroom convos. Really necessary?
First scenario: See a coworker, person A walks in, says hi to person B and asks how her day was, but yet, slips into the stall at the same time, and so the door is shut in B's face. And then coworker A awkwardly says goodbye and slips out while B stays.
Or, person A stands there outside the stall and chats, all the while, trying to close up the conversation. Because, um, she's gotta go. And B knows that, but she's trying to be friendly, and the two keep just saying stupid stuff to chat, but really B wants to go back to work and A is ready to explode.
For the record, the issue was googled and drinking water can slightly increase your metabolism, but does not flush out fat. However, clear is also a sign of good hydration. Bright yellow means dehydration. And something about bilirubin levels -- which I had never heard of until I had a few friends have baby scares because the baby couldn't leave the hospital because of bilirubin. Which I think is just jaundice, right?

Your weight x .55= how many ounces you should be drinking in a day. Spread it out or it is just running through you. If you spread it out then your body has time to absorb it and use it.
Jentry - that's like the best piece of advice I've gotten ever. I'd heard the half the body weight thing, but never explained like that.
Thanks!
correct, that's jaundice. ; )
You know you're too close when you can talk about it at the dinner table. lol!
Yes - I find it awkward when after a 'session' we both run into each other in the restroom! Yep my little girl had jaundice and had trips to the hospital for a few days after :>
I've heard that about the color of your pee. I'm trying to do better about drinking the proper amount of water. Does it still count if it's mixed w/tea, coffee, lemonade?!
