Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is a day I should be searching for 4 leaf shamrocks, kissing a blarney stone, and consuming that wonderful invention green beer. Well I do have shamrocks planted in my back yard...and I'm full of blarney...but for some reason I'm not drinking green beer. Far from it, I'm drinking water.

My friend Water Pig, thought it would be fun to make a water pig out of me. So she bought me a 1.89 liter bottle and instructed me to drink one full container every day. Yesterday was my first day and I drank about 3/4 of one container. Mind you, I have a 48 mile commute. Well needless to say, I RAN into the house when I got home. Made my appologies to the dog (who has been waiting for 10 hours to go outside) and ran into the bathroom.

Last night I filled up my water jug, put it in the freezer and pulled it out this morning. I will have ice cold water all day long! This water jug not only will assist in wait loss by making me consume water but it acts as a 3 pound weight for doing arm curls.

The only real drawback I can see is that I slosh when I walk. Bet I wouldn't slosh with green beer.

Happy St. Patty's Day!
