Hungry? Drink water.

I'm on day 5 of my fruit and veggie fast and it has been such a great way to cleanse, refresh, and "reset" my body. It has really help me get on track with drinking water. Just checking in as I down a tall glass. ;)

I have been doing a lot better with my water intake and I can tell because my lips are not dry and peeling anymore - thanks to this thread's constant reminder.

Finally feeling back to normal this week. It's cooler in the mornings. That may be helping with my allergies. Getting my 64 oz drank back on.

I hope everyone's on track and having a great day today. :yep:

I need to up my water intake. 16 oz of water and 16 oz of herbal tea today so far. I did have a espresso this morning so I have to drink more water to make up for it...

No real progress to speak of, trying to get out of this water deficiency slump! I've been a few medications lately and I am wondering if that is affecting my thirst for water these days.

NJoy glad to hear you're feelign better.
I drank about 4oz of green tea so far if that.
Working on my first 33oz of water for the day. I should be done in an hours or so. Then its on to the next 33. Green tea in between that,
I think I fall off on the weekends but I have a trick for that. I will now carry my 33oz water bottle even on weekends. Lets see if that works

Is it too late to join? I always try to get people to do a water challenge with me in real life but I've had no takers.

I hardly ever drink any water EVER. In fact, I hardly ever drink anything except chocolate almond milk, tea and apple juice...but sadly I don't even drink 8 glasses of anything a day. I know that this is bad for me and I must do better.

I have to be realistic and start with 8 ounces of water a day...and make sure that I at least drink more of anything else as well. I'll try for 16 ounces though but I HATE water...

Push yourself daviine!! We're here for support. Can you shoot for three glasses a day for a week? One before each major meal?

One thing you can try is diluting your apple juice by 50% with water. Herbal tea is great if you are not adding a lot of extras to your cup: sugar, milk, creamer, etc.

Checking in. I think ive been doing pretty good. Even if I dont make my 4 water bottle quota for the day, I still find a way to get some water in.
And im so hydrated, I dont even have the desire to drink anything else.
My skin is clearing up and is very smooth. I dnt know if it has contributed to any of my grwoth but it couldnt hurt!

I did not do too well yesterday and I think it's because I did not workout and worked all day without much of a break between clients. Today I'm making up for that. I already had 4 cups for the day. I will get in another 4 before the day is out for sure. I worked out HARD this morning.

Thank you so much for your support NappyNelle! I'll try for the three glasses. I'll let you know how that goes.

I only recently started drinking apple juice. I used to hate that too! But I guess after being thirsty a few times and choosing apple juice over water, I can tolerate it somewhat now. I'll try to see if I still like it diluted.

Herbal teas.....I usually add about 2 tsp of sugar to whatever tea I'm drinking-- peppermint, green tea, black tea. Is that too much?

I'll attempt to drink my first glass of water for the day right after I post this.

Yaaay! I used to be an apple juice addict; I only recently kicked it because I find it way too sweet now. :lol: Two tsp of sugar in tea isn't that bad, but the more you can cut out, the better for your body. Have you tried sugar alternatives like stevia or agave nectar?

I've only had 1 liter of water today because I left the house without my bottle. Were you able to drink a glass today? One glass > Zero glasses. :yep:

Hi Ladies,

Well I am dragging my tired body in here to confess that for the last three weeks I was totally off my water kick. I had to travel for work for 2 weeks back to back and that totally threw me off. BUT I am happy to report that as of Friday I have been getting my water and tea in and then some. I can honestly say that I do feel a difference. So cheers to being back on track!

I haven't done too well that past couple of weeks but I am committed to getting back on track. I was doing so well and getting to the point where I liked drinking water. I've gotten in about a bottle a day recently but I'm working on at least 3 now and hopefully progressing from there.

You're in! Adding you to the Challengers List.



I'm at 32 oz so far. Weekends are pretty tough for me because I'm always on the go. Not today tho. I'm working around the house. I just have to remember to stop to drink water. Expecting to get another 32 oz in before tonight's over.

Hmmm. Been slacking on checking in lately. My bad. And weekends are tough for me. Not that I'm drinking other drinks. Just that I don't have time to drink much of anything. Ah well. 24 oz yesterday. Hoping to get in 40 today.
