I've resorted to a timer....

for getting in enough liquids.  I have been very dizzy today, (one of the first signs of dehydration).  I know I'm not drinking enough, despite having a water bottle at my side 24/7.  I have set the timer to go off every 5 minutes, and wow.  I don't know if I can keep up the pace.  I guess I really wasn't doing as well as I thought I was.  I should have known by the very few trips I'm making to the bathroom.
I've read about some other forum members doing the timer thing to remind them to drink, and well, it works.  Every time it goes off, I'm like, "REALLY?"
The only problem I see with this method is that it is filling to have so much water in your stomach, and at 500 calories or less, I'm already not getting enough calories in per day.  I can only hope it goes thru me quickly.
I'm officially down 37.2 pounds as of this morning.  Yipee.
My hips were a bit grumpy the last couple days from the jogging on Monday, but I stretched a bit this morning, and that helped more than anything.  At least it's muscular, and not joint pain.  That makes me very happy...
