OK, so I know we all know how important it is we drink water BUT I need a reminder about just how much water I should be drinking. I did some research and found a formula to calculate how much I need. (You all know how much I like formulas)
Here is the formula to help you figure out how much water you should drink per day:
Your Weight x .67 = How many ounces to drink per day
increase that amount by 12 ounces for every 30 minutes of exercise you do.
So, by following that formula:
192 x .67 = 128.6 (round up to 129)
30 minutes on the treadmill + 12 so, 129 + 12 = 141 ounces per day!
Yikes! My goal has been to drink 64 ounces per day so no wonder I have been in a constant state of minor dehydration!
Over the weekend I slacked off my water intake, but still ate fairly well. The result? I was up 2 pounds on Monday. UGH! I am hoping that by following the above formula, I will be back to 190 or below by my official weigh in tomorrow.
How much water do YOU drink per day?
