I hate drinking plain water, so I bought some of the sugar free drink
packets to add flavor to the water.
Question:  On the drink packets' box it states that it is a soft drink mix.
So, can I still count it as water or do I have to consider it as a drink?

I've been reading the Dr. Oz book (name escapes me).  In the exercise
section, it recommends that no matter what, everyday, you should walk 30
minutes.  This is in addition to 30 minutes of additional exercise, be it
aerobic, strength training or stretching.

I started my diet 40 days ago, and to be honest I wasn't following
'strict' diet, so every day or two I will pick a meal in one of the
restaurants.

I am on a very structured, but healthy, weight loss journey, which
includes taking a number of vitamins and supplements. My only
complaint is that my daily 6 Flax Seed Oil capsules, 3 Fish Oil, and 4

2) Does eating close to sleep "promote fat," or does it help stave off
catabolic processes?

It's rainy/snowy out so I decided to clean up and organize my clothes
closet.
Found a pair of Levi's that I was wearing last fall and for kicks tried them

Uneventful Friday -- just went to the gym, then spent the rest of the
day at home.  I'm dealing with a lot of stress today, as my mom looks
to be in pretty bad shape -- trying to figure out if I need to move up
my planned trip for next week.  Fortunately -- from the diet
