Hello??? How's everyone doing? Everyone starts off great but we have to work hard at being consistent and accountable.

I've got 32 oz in so far and on target to meet my goal for the day. You?
 
I'm still in. I'm just too lazy to search and bump threads. MOF, I was sipping on some pineapple coconut water while I was reading this thread.
 
Trying to hang in there...I've discovered that the best way for me to get my water in is to add lemon juice. So that's what I've been doing. Thinking about getting some Aquasana bottles from Amazon to help me meet my 68 oz. goal.
 
I wanna join!
I said I wasn't joining too many challenges this year but this one is worth me joining! :yep: I will start off with 64oz a day! I might have to occasionally add lemon.

Ok, ladies. Checking in to see how everyone's doing. I've been suffering with a crushing sinus headache for the past 6 days. Today's the first day that I'm feeling a little better. Had to switch up on my sinus meds. I've been trying to sleep as much as possible to avoid the pain so, even tho I tried to stay on schedule with my water, I'm sure I came up short a time or two. But, I'm back on it now. And also drinking lots of nettle tea for my sinuses. Ugh, these Georgia allergies are no. joke. :nono:

Anywho...check in ladies. Don't make me do an All Call. Ya know I will. :grin:
 
I have a confession *holds head down in shame*-->> I got a sinus infection on the 11th of this month and since then, my water intake has taken fall downhill. I do realize that when you're sick it's pretty critical to consistently drink water....but in all honesty I just couldn't do it. Everytime I tried to drink h20, if felt as if I was choking! I mainly stuck to drinking orange juice and hot lemon tea. Fortunately I'm nearing the end of this sinus infection and I am able to down water MUCH better. :yep:

Initially my daily goal was to consume 64oz of water a day, but based off my body weight I recently learned that my goal should be 96oz of water a day. So far I've downed 32oz only 64oz left!

Ugh. I know what you mean. Yesterday was my first day feeling better. Decided to wear a mask to take my kids to school but my daughter was mortified at the thought, so I didn't. Now I feel the headache coming back. :nono: Sinus infection is no...joke.

I hope you feel better and KUTGW. I haven't had anything today yet.
 
I got about 32 Oz in today so far. Will probably make it to 64 since I am running today and usually that makes me drink water :)

Amen to that! What are you taking for you sinus infection at the moment? May I suggest citrus-flavored thera-flu with a halls dropped in it? It helped me get some rest at night by relieving the nasal swelling and headaches :yep:

Get well soon! :bighug:
 
I did really great with my water intake yesterday - got in 7 cups. Today not so good however:nono:. I still have 4 more cups to go...

First, taking Claritin to help keep my sinuses from reacting to whatever's kicking it up (started with Zyrtec but had to switch). Taking 800 mg ibuprofen (prescribed) for the pain. Drinking nettle tea (supposedly good for sinuses) and taking flonase (prescription strength). Oh, and drinking Emergen-C or Halls Vitamin C lozenges.

I'm trying to attack this thing from every angle. Told hubby, the only thing that I didn't try was a netti pot. I'm pretty sure I'd drown trying to use it tho. :grin:

I'll remember the thera-flu with Halls trick. Theraflu usually works wonders on cold and flu symptoms but it's the headache that kicks my butt. I just try to get to sleep to escape the pain.

I think I have it under control for now. Thanks for the luv. :bighug:
 
I didn't do so well. I might've gotten in 24 oz. And that was mostly in taking my vitamins. Otherwise, I didn't eat or drink much of anything. Ah well. It's a new day. I'll get started now.

NJoy I hope you feel better soon.

Haven't been doing to good lately. Trying hard to get back on track. My problem was that first glass of soda I had about two weeks ago, I was like Pookie, man i forgot how good my ice cold Pepsi tasted, man that mess has been calling me.....lol.....I had given soda up so that I could meet my daily target but one day I went into CVS and they had them on sale 4 for $5 and that is where it began. I started off so strong but now I feel like I hit rock bottom. I am almost done with the last soda and "I WILL NOT" purchase any more soda.

Back a-WAY from the Pepsi!
Think about how it dries out your cells. You skin. Your hair. All your hard work. Lost for a swig. Don't do it, girl! Hydrate! Don't dehydrate your cells.
:nono:
 
I really hate to drink water but try hard to have it everyday. I can usually get about 2 bottles in per day. I would like to get to 64 oz a day as well. It's really inconvenient to have to get up and go to the bathroom every 15 min lol! I learned a tip to help flavor it up and hopefully make me want to drink more. Add some honey and a drop of peppermint oil, at least it tastes really good hot so maybe cold too (gonna flavor my ice cubes as well). I'm going to see if that helps with my intake. Also going to try alkaline water to see how that is and if it provides the health benefits that people say it does. Happy water drinking everyone!!

I used to take alkalizing drops in my water (pH Booster drops) when I was ttc my son. But did you know that lemon also turns your water into alkaline water? :yep: In fact, lemon and watermelon are the most alkaline fruits.

You can affect your body's pH by the foods you eat and drink. Check out this link. But keep in mind, you don't want to go overboard making your body's pH alkaline or it will put you in fasting mode, you'll lose your appetite and your body will respond by storing up any fat that you intake. You should be slightly alkaline, between 7.35-7.45 pH. Then your body is in optimal health.

Oh, I studied and learned this stuff to a tee when I was ttc a boy. And it worked!
