OK.. I have never worked with a personal trainer (have dealt with a few in the gym, but I do not feel these are in the "professional" category)... I have a recommendation of someone to work with. I was told he was "expensive".. but worth it.. Without having any prior knowledge on this...

In taking a new approach to a "healthy" life.. I have been doing more and more research. Imagine my surprise when I see (from various soources) that too much water is bad for you.. The "standard" answer is 6 - 8 servings (8 oz.) of water each day, while adding more for diuretics (coffee)...
