So, here's why it's annoying to drink lots of water during the day: pee breaks. I dont know who has time for 4 pee breaks a day at work, but I do not. This is frustrating actually.
Also, everyone likes to bring treats to the office. I just walked into a colleagues office and immediately ate a taffy because she was sharing them on her table. No thought, no consideration. Just of course - ate the taffy. Was it good? Sure. Did it leave me feeling great? No, it really didn't do much of anything. I didn't really need it.

Water
I drink about 1% of the water I should on a regular basis. Literally, I think. During the week I start my day with white tea. During the day I usually have another cup of green tea or a latte. Other than that, nada. Sometimes I don't even drink with meals. Today is a Sunday; I've had two cappuccinos, and one beer. That's all! Holy cow! As of that realization I am now downing a liter of water, but it wasn't because I realized I was dehydrated or anything natural. I wonder how different I would feel if I could remain hydrated. I enjoy drinking water from my camelbak so I am going to take it to the office tomorrow to see if that helps.
Other than not drinking water, salt would be a dehydrator, so let me consider that as well. When I cook fresh foods I do tend to add salt while cooking but just a pinch for flavor enducing purposes - I really don't think it's a lot. I do tend to snack salty - popcorn with salt, crackers, etc. I alos eat out lunch during the week which im sure holds tons of salt I will see what comes up tomorrow.

Here we go
I think there is a big thing missing from my overall health: mindfulness. I mean to be healthy, I just forget! That sounds like I'm an airhead, but it's simply that I have so much going on and my priorities are misaligned. I don't always make time to get exersize, or stop and consider that I really enjoyed that first glass of wine and don't need another, nor do I really want the burger if I remember how I feel about 30 minutes later. Health magazine recommended going at this more like a man: "all in.". I'm best at the things I really dive into, so that's the plan. I'm diving in and will attempt to record thoughts daily to keep me mindful.
