Problems with water and commuting

So far this week my new renewed commitment to eating healthy has been working very well.  On Sunday I weighed 233, and although I don’t “officially” weigh in until Sunday, I know I’m already under 230.  Amazing how eating sensibly takes care of things.

 I have run into a problem, however.  As part of my commitment, I’ve taken on drinking a lot more water.  I’m shooting for half my body weight in ounces, although I don’t think I’ve made it on any given day.  But I’m drinking A LOT of water.  And hence the dilemma. 

It’s too far to my home during rush hour for me to make it without a pit stop – if you know what I mean.  I either need for Seattle to resolve it’s commuting problems fast (and judging from how our light rail project is going, I’m not holding out hope any time soon); or I need to find a strategically located place to stop on my way home.

I know that cyclists in the peleton are talented enough to take care of business on their bikes, but on a motorcycle you need both a throttle and a clutch hand, and besides, I don’t think the other commuters would be nearly as understanding as cycling fans apparently are.

Hopefully my body will get use to the water thing soon, or I lose enough weight so I don’t have to drink quite as much…
