That side shot is HOT! Great Work!

For the month of july i was leaning out a bit and taking in 2 gallons of water a day. I was hitting the bathroom so often in my office i think people thought i had a cocaine problem lol.

Anyway, wanted to share a trick i learned. I was drinking 3 shakes during the day which consisted of whey/oatmeal/flaxmeal and a cup of water. I started adding Xanthan Gum which adds some fiber and thickens the shake (and i mean thicken). 1/2 tbls (which is just a half serving) sent my blender into a screaming fit. So i had to start adding 4 cups of water just to get the right thickness. 4 cups x 3 shakes gave me almost a gallon of water just in those shakes.

Thoughout the day i had lots of hot green tea with bits of coconut oil to make up the rest. I can almost feel that sudden urge to pee just thinking about it.

Thank you!

Oh, I wasn't counting the water in my green tea. I was just counting plain water. In that case, I'll start doing that today. I have about 25oz of water in green tea throughout the day. I also have 2 coconut oil caps. I totally believe in it and makes my skin smooth.
My protein shake consists of hardly any water and that's b/c I make it into a pudding by adding just enough water for that consistency.
You always unspire me! I'll drink more water today..
Thank you for sharing!

You are stunning. LOVE THE SUIT!!

You know, you are my new idol. If you can look THAT HOT at 52 then I have ZERO excuse for how sorry I look at nearly 41.

Thank you for the motivation!

Thank you Bikini!

I'm glad I can motivate you, but you know if there's anything you want to make improvements on, just ask!

I didn't get there by myself (no one does). It took many rears of modeling and all my nowledge in fitness/image consultant/nutritionist, therefore I'm happy to share.

Thank you!
Yes, I have no wrinkles.
First, genetics helps!
peelings/facials every two months.
Drink green tea (gave up coffee)
No sugar (it gives you wrinkles)
Hardly drink alcohol.(a glass of great champagne once in a while)
Don't smoke.
Never did drugs.
Use great skin products.
Drink lots of water.
Exercise.
Eat whole foods.
Use sun block #15 under my make-up 365 days a year.
Wear a hat in the summer.
Don't sun-tan except when walking on the streets.
Get massages.
Rest (but that I don't do enough, I must admit)
Phew!

Most of these things you can do, just be consistent..
