The Effects of Water

My dad is kinda a fanatic about staying healthy, eating right, takingvitamins, lots of exercise and plenty of water. I try to do each of these things faithfully. One I love toexercise, two he always sends mevitaminsso therefore I feel obligated to take them. The only thing that gets me is the water drinking thing. No doubt I feel so much better when I drink lots of water, but howinconvenientto have to use the restroom so often. So, I took a week long log of how much of my time is consumed by simply drinking water. Here it is.

1) 1 hour 40 minutes filling water bottle
2) 23 minutes actually drinking the water
3) 5 hours thirty minutes going pee
TOTAL TIME TO DRINK THE AMOUNT OF WATER MY DAD ASKES OF ME 7 hours 55 minutes



I have to ask myself the question...is it worth it? Yeah I guess so, knowing how much better I feel when I have had enough water to drink and the fact that I am constantly sweating it out of me. But that moment in the elevator when I really need to go, but we stop at every floor to let someone off or on...then finally getting to my floor and 3..2..1....1....1...1 DANG DOOR OPEN ALREADY!!! Digging to find my keys through a purse that seems to contain every other item but my keys. Then tangling though book bag, briefcase purse, that all seem to getintertwinedas I am juststrugglingto keep from peeing all over my floor. And I don't know what it is about having to pee really bad sometimes but there is that moment you FINALLY get to the pot and you bladder has held it in so long that it now doesn't know that now is a good time torelease. Breath, tell yourself torelaxand perhaps turn on the waterfaucet. Is it worth it? Not so sure at those moments. I do it for you Daddy.
