Penta

If you didn't know it already, let me tell you directly - I am pro water. So this little statistic caught my eye. According to the recently released US Census Statistical Abstract, the average American drank 23.2 gallons of bottled water in 2004, up from only 2.7 gallons in 1980.

I know this means we're just probably going more upscale with our water habits, buying bottles upon bottles of exquisitely pure and expensive water like Penta. Somehow or another I have decided to be optimistic abut this little factoid, and I think it means we are also drinking more water period. By drinking more water, we are becoming better at keeping ourselves hydrated. Maybe my glasses are tinted a little too pink, but that is my read on this fact extracted from the big book of statistics put out by our government.

Go ahead now. Drink up.

To some people, bottled water is just that: bottled water. To me, bottled water is Penta since Penta is one of the greatest bottles of water you can buy.

We just can't get enough of this blogging thing so we are branching out yet again. Get excited because FitSugar is coming soon! See below for a sneak peek:

Wednesday night was a sad night on The Biggest Loser. The Red Team kicked off Ken, the amazing shrinking man, who had lost a total of 68 pounds in six weeks. Talk about motivation.

Aside from kicking my favorite teammate off, another twist was that the Blue Team was forced to face an interesting challenge: eating out ONLY, for 72 hours. Eating out is yummy and fun, but if you are trying to eat right, it could be detrimental to your regime. So keep in mind a few Fit tips to eat out right:

• If at a restaurant, ask the server to not bring the bread and butter. A good rule of thumb is you won't miss what you can't see.
• Learn this term: Clean. It means no oil, no fat and no surprises. Use it when ordering poultry and fish.
• If there is an option between two portion sizes, opt for the smaller one. Restaurants tend to oversize portions dramatically.
