8 Glasses A Day Challenge Journal Day 5

It's day 5 of the 8 glasses a day challenge with Crystal Light and the deliciouschange group here on gather.

I am happy to report no headache today.   I'm really hoping it's not been the aspartame causing the bad headaches as I do plan to continue drinking the water with the Crystal Light in it after the challenge is over.

The only thing I did different today than yesterday was that I drank my can of Dr. Pepper first thing in the morning over drinking the Crystal Light Energy first thing.  The Energy was in my 3rd bottle of water for the day.

I forgot to weigh myself this afternoon again.  I remembered after 6 pm and after I had just finished having a cheesecake shake from Bogey's.  I weighed in at 155.  I am, again, also at my boyfriends house and used his scale.

I can feel the difference in my body with drinking the water over so much Dr. Pepper.  I am not near as bloated without all the carbonation.

Researchers at the Loma Linda University in California studied more than 20,000 healthy men and women and found that people who drank more than 5 glasses of water a day are less likely to die from a heart attack than people who drink less than two.
