I got 60 oz in on Tuesday (:yay:), but only 30 oz in on Wednesday (*hangs head in shame*). Today, so far, I have only drank 30 oz...if I don't start out with two cups first thing in the morning, it seems like I don't make it anywhere near my goal SMH And I am SUPPOSED to be at 80 oz/day based on my body weight :shocked: How in the world am I supposed to get there?! :look:
 
I have been doing good all last week with getting in my water and my glass of green tea daily. I'm am finding that the best way for me to stay on track is for me to drink water and tea only, because once I have taste of something sweet I begin to crave it something terrible. I am going to stop ordering drinks when I go out and just get a glass of water with lemon that may also help with the craving. I think after I become more discipline I can sneak in a soda juice or sweet tea every now and then, but for now I am not there yet.....it's a 12 step program for me....lol

Since I dont normally do as good on the weekends as I do during the week. I'm going to try and consume two 1.5 liter bottles today and tomorrow. One bottle will have 1/4 cup of aloe vera juice added.

How does the aloe vera juice taste? I've been wanting to try it for a while
 
Put me in too!! Between the juicing, the cocktail, and tea there just doesnt seem to be any room for plain old water...and I NEED IT! lol

Thanks NJoy

Didn't do so good over the weekend including Friday since I was off from work. I don't get access to the "free" water at work so my intake outside of the office goes down. I did 72 oz on Thurs and about 48 oz on Fri/Sat/Sun. Today I've already had 52 oz and still going.
 
Still mostly doing herbal teas with honey. I'm over this cold but my allergies still have me sniffing and coughing like crazy. So, hot teas it is. But I am getting back on my water game. Just have to add lemon for flavor. My tummy is not happy with plain water right now. Hoping for at least 40 oz of water today. I know I should do more to help with my allergies but, it tain't easy. :nono:
:sick:

I feel your pain! I suffer with allergies too and consuming water can be very difficult at times. Hope you feel better soon. Have you ever tried hot water with honey and peppermint oil? It's just like having tea sans the teabag. You boil water, add honey like you would to normal tea and add a teensy (I mean this literally because it is very strong) bit of peppermint oil. It's like having peppermint tea and allows you drink water "plain", plus the mint can help with allergy/sinus problems.

I haven't tried that. But I do drink peppermint tea with honey. I also drink nettle tea because that's supposed to be good for sinuses/allergies. I was coughing so bad today that hubby ran out and bought the big daddy dawg therapure air purifier, a Vick cool mist humidifier and changed my allergy meds to Allegra (I have to rotate between Claritin, Zyrtec and Allegra). It's feeling much better in here already. I think I may have to visit my allergist and get a shot tho. Can't take an air purifier everywhere I go. And the masks aren't helping.

Ah, but I'm drinking water. Best I can.
 
Today I had 1.5L of water! About 52oz. I'm so proud of myself b/c I was really slacking over the past few weeks, I want to keep this up!
 
Last week was very good; two liters with MSM dissolved in everyday.

Today, I hope to chug my second liter while watching biggest loser.

Feeling better today. So far I got about 24 oz in. May not sound like much but, it's a big improvement over the past week or so. Hoping to realistically get in 40 oz today.
 
Been slacking a little bit, especially since I started back working out this week, I know I should be taking in more water

Mon-68oz, Tue-52oz, Wed-62oz, Thu-62oz and have gotten in 44oz so far today.
 
Trying to stay on my water game but, while suffering with these allergies and all this crazy pollen, every time I drink water, it sets off a coughing fit. *sigh* Something's gotta give.

How are you ladies doing?
 
I drank 64 of my 68 oz yesterday. I'm pretty sure I got the remaining 4 oz from all the fruits and veggies I've been eating. I'm doing a fruit and veggie fast this week, and boyyyy do I feel great! I've been drinking more of my lemon water as well. While doing this fast I realized that a lot of the time I probably, mistake hunger signals for thirst signals.
 
I've been doing terrible!:perplexed :nono: I'm only getting in about half of my water intake for the past several days :blush: I haven't really had a taste for water and like NJoy my allergies have been kicking up something awful and it seems like it has destroyed my desire for water. I'm trying to get back on the wagon. The plus side is that I'm still drinking more water than when I started the challenge and I have cut down dramatically on soda and sugary drinks too. I'll get back there soon, been drinkin some tea in the interim.:yep: :lick:
 
I felt great when I drank 40oz of water daily, I suddenly stopped these past three days, but today I'm back! I'll drink even more!

Good luck all!
 
I got my first 33 in bfore 9a.m. Since then I have drank three 6oz cups of green tea. I will drink my other 33 before 5p.m.
Getting my drank on!!! LOL
 
Yesterday, I drank 3 liters of water.

Today, I barely drank 1. *sigh* Even though it's really late, I'm going to keep sipping.
