I have a 32oz that doesn't have the nice travel size bottom so I hate taking it in the car but it helps me get my water in at home for sure. When did you get yours? If they still have them I am going to head to the mall and try to get one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-17418397235270534152012-03-13T10:22:37.087-04:002012-03-13T10:22:37.087-04:00I love your sporty Sunday series - keep the tips c...I love your sporty Sunday series - keep the tips coming pleaseMagatha-Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354986530807675597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-83583709714430380882012-03-13T10:03:24.758-04:002012-03-13T10:03:24.758-04:00EvaNadine - I sip water up until 15 minutes or so ...EvaNadine - I sip water up until 15 minutes or so before I work out. On long runs, I drink while I run. You can buy water bottles in special cases that are easy to hold while running. (And I think of it as an arm workout, too!) I usually don't need to use the restroom unless I'm out for more than 2.5 hours. <br /><br />When I was in the Marines, we were encouraged to hydrate for stressful events during the 2 - 3 days leading up to the run or march. We were told that chugging water the day of the event wouldn't hydrate us. I'm not sure if that's true...but I do try to stay generally hydrated and just drink a normal amount before working out.<br /><br />"Normal" for me, is quite a bit of water, though! I drink at least 64 oz a day, sometimes 96, if I fill my bottle a third time. My "bottle" is a giant, 32-oz mug from Great American Cookies. I keep it on my desk at work and drink from it all day. For me, the key is to have the water available and for it to be in a container with a <i>straw</i>. I'll always drink more of a liquid if there is a straw.Kasmirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866928448186848884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-43587208094089956232012-03-13T09:36:19.600-04:002012-03-13T09:36:19.600-04:00im getting back into running now that its getting ...im getting back into running now that its getting warm outside. (im a VERY beginner runner).<br />how long before running would you say i should cut off the water drinking? i have a tendency to not drink enough water (in general, but especially not enough for working out) so i suddenly remember + try to chug a bottle a few hours beforehand, but i try not to sip TOO much within that last hour. any idea how long it takes to absorb into your body + make a difference?EvaNadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748139003453430040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-78761549220311890612012-03-13T08:08:16.178-04:002012-03-13T08:08:16.178-04:00I found out the hard way that I need to eat before...I found out the hard way that I need to eat before I run, so always have a few spoonfuls of yoghurt if I run in the morning, or a glass of milk and some peanut butter (love it!) if I haven't eaten for a while in the evening.

You already listed my favorites, except trail mix which Meghan mentioned. I found out the hard way to bring snacks when I go kayaking since I need more calories and more carbs than normal and we're usually out several hours paddling. <br /><br />I think it's great you're talking about exercise. You don't have the self-righteous attitude I see sometimes. I'm glad to see you like swimming since I have to do that and other low-impact things.

I'm trying to work in more exercise into my daily life but since it's inconsistent, I never really consider eating.<br /><br />You did list many of my favorite daily snacks. I always keep trail mixes (fruit/nut mix) on hand. My mom swears by yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and a serving size of bolthouse farm fruit juices as breakfast. She lost a ton of weight, and says it keeps her full until lunch time.Megan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811757787686946noreply@blogger.com
