I’m (19F) not overweight by any means, but I do have a little extra fluff that I’ve been wanting to get rid of. I don’t do any exercise, never played sports as a kid, so I’ve been weak and unfit my whole life. My resting heartrate is embarrassingly fast.
I lost my job due to COVID and my country is in lockdown, so I haven’t left the house besides going to the shops since the 20th of March. I’m finding that I have a lot of spare time, and I’m bored out of my mind. I started drinking more water, mostly out of boredom. For context, I always forget to drink water. I probably have less than half a litre a day. I got an old water bottle out of the cupboard and started carrying it around with me. Whenever I get bored, I take a sip. I’m probably averaging 2L a day, which is still less than the recommended amount.
Man, the difference is huge! I’ve lost three kilos (6.6 lbs) in a week. My energy is through the roof, I’ve been leaving the house to go for walks every day just to get rid of all this excess energy. I’ve beginning to realise that I used to live in a state of constant lethargy, especially since I also have an iron deficiency.
It feels a little silly to say, since people talk all the time about how you need to drink x amount of water per day to be healthy, but GUYS. If you don’t drink a lot of water, start drinking! My skin isn’t as dry, my hair is healthier, I have energy and motivation to exercise, I’m sleeping better, I’m drinking less coffee, I’m losing weight. I think this might be the kickstarter for me to begin properly exercising, now that I’m not tired all the time, and it could be for you, too!
