I should, but I am scared i will let myself down. But I guess that is what challenges are there for. I have a 12 oz water bottle for work and I normally finish 2 or 3 it is hard to say because I fill it with a lot of ice at the drink dispenser in the cafeteria and water so it last longer.

I also have at least 12 oz for dinner. Maybe I will say my goal is between 50-60 oz a day. Is that too few?

Welcome Blairx0! Every ounce counts and the sooner you start, the easier it gets. One day, you'll even start to CRAVE water and shock yourself! I know I did when I passed up fruit punch for a glass of water. :lol:

Today I drank 96oz and I'm still sipping. I ate pretty healthy all day too; snacked on raw veggies, beans, and fruits. I'm proud of myself. Drinking water on top of that makes me feel extra healthy. :lol:

I don't drink soda and have one glass of orange juice in the am and maybe one glass of chai tea. I quit soda in 2009 and sugary drinks like those blended fruit things give me instant headaches.

My issue is I don't want to pee all the time, so I don't drink anything. Time to get in the habit of drinking even if it means more potty breaks.

Yesterday I had one herbal tea, one apple juice, one coffee, and shamefully that was it! No wonder I keep eating, my body is crying out for it!
Until my body and therefore hair is hydrated my personal challenge is that I will not spend any more money on products for the external! What is the point if I'm trying to smooth over the atom bomb inside each hair strand???

Ladies, I need your support. Aargghh

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.

NappyNelle When Blairx0 posted about not being sure if her goal was too low, I thought of you and the post above. I really think if you hadn't advised me to dilute my apple juice, I would still be drinking crap. Drinking water makes me want to improve my health in other areas. Baby steps, baby steps! Thanks again. :kiss:

I was the same way. But since I'm not working this year, I don't mind going to the bathroom all the time. In fact , I use my "potty break" as a cue to drink more water. I have no idea what will happen when I go back to work but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

By the way, does anyone here use a Brita water bottle or other water bottle with a filter?

Also, does herbal tea count if you don't put sugar in it? I've not been counting it in my app, but was wondering hydration-wise.

I squeaked in at only 47 oz yesterday (half of what I've been doing) because I was ripping and running all day. I'm at 47 oz now so far so, I'm on track and hoping to finish strong.

I don't know if it's all the water that I'm drinking but, I've been noticing my nails are super healthy and pristine looking. I mean, beautiful!! :yep:

You can do it.!!!!

I only drank half my goal yesterday. When I woke up and saw the D on my app, I was disappointed in myself. But can't do nothing about it now. Today's a new day.

I usually start drinking water after 2pm when I have time to think about it. I am so busy getting my son ready, checking emails and handling my client load before 2. So it's the latter part of the day that I start taking in water.

Weekends are tricky for me. I started early by drinking a bottle around 2 am. I need that head start to stay on track. I'm at 71 oz so far. I can do one more bottle, for sure. :yep:
