NJoy can u add me to the list too!
 
I don't quite know how much I drank today but I do know that I got in a lot more than I did yesterday. That's progress:yep:.
 
Yesterday and today were major fails. I'm going to do better tomorrow!

I'm out of water! Let's see...we have a water filter on the house AND a Pur filter on the kitchen sink and I STILL don't want to drink tap. So, I drank a little over 20 oz plus 24 oz of brewed green tea. I'll have to do better tomorrow....after I run to the store and buy more water. Don't judge me. :look:
 
I'm back in business! I got my 64 oz in yesterday; right up to the last minute but I did it. :yep: And I'm going to try starting early today. I have some water sitting at room temperature. Let's see if my tummy is ok with that.

Meantime, drink up and have a great day!

Hey NJoy...
What I find helping is to drink water at room temperature during colder months... I start my day with only teas so until noon time i only drink tea meanwhile i have my cold water sitting on my desk to bring it back to room temperature, so around 2pm, i will have had 2 16oz of tea ( no milk, no suga, second one is the same tea bag left inside) and a half liter of water :)

Girl, thank you so much! I sat a bottle of water out to drink this morning at room temperature to see if my tummy could handle it (water in the morning, even after I've eaten, usually makes me feel nauseous). It worked like a charm. No problems at all. So, I was able to start drinking up well before noon and have made my 64 ounces already. Shoooot. I might even mess around and get in 96 oz before the night's over.

Thanks for the tip! :yep:

Zowie! Sorry to hear about that. No fun. But, you really should've been drinking more water, especially then. It helps to thin any nasal drainage that could have your throat all scratchy or congested.

I do hope you're feeling better. In any case, drink up that water, mama! And thanks for checking in.
 
Been working hard on getting back on track. Yesterday I brought a liter water bottle for home hoping that this will help me get my water down on the weekends, I tend to do good during the week when at work, it's the weekends that are my downfall. I'm finding that I don't have a problem getting the first bottle down because I usually down it b/4 I leave out for the day, so my rationale is with a bigger bottle I will get more down in that one shot and opt to drink only water while I am out and about and that should make up the rest needed for the day. Today it worked.....but that was because I stayed in all day and ended up drinking 2 liter bottles. Let's see what the verdict is for tomorrow.

NJoy I kept telling myself that. The only thing I really wanted to drink was hot tea. I didn't manage to dehydrate so that's good. I had to go to the dr a few times and he had to change my meds. He added predisone (sp) to the mix. I'm finally seeing some relief. My ins wouldn't cover a cough syrup. booooo

Well, at least keep the tea up. Put a lil honey in it to soothe your throat. Your cough is probably throat iritation from the drainage. Plenty o' fluids should help to make the cough more productive in clearing your throat while thinning the build up. (listen to me sounding like a mom).
Glad you're on the upswing. Feel better, girl. :bighug:

Thanks! IKR! That is the thing I miss about having mine. She would've been over here trying to make me eat and drinking

Happy i could help :)
 
ok guys....i must admit...i've been slacking with my water intake. I decided to see if my iPhone had an app to remind me to drink water...lol and it DID!!! The app (Daily Water) was only $1 so i downloaded it and set my water intake schedule. I think having something remind me to drink more water...i will drink more water...:lachen:. Here's the screen shot i took from my phone.

1 US cup = 8 US fluid ounces

I'm drinking 12 ounce cups of water...which equals 9 glasses a day

Hey may I join in on the fun? :)
I'm going to aim for 64oz/day.
At the moment I can easily intake 32oz (even while drinking an occasional "other type of" drink in between); But when I get home from work it becomes a real challenge to continue drinking the water lol, so i usually end up drinking 32.5oz and stopping smh :wallbash:

I downloaded water your body. This thing is hilarious! I semi set it up (didn't put In my weight or water schedule). It's making pouring water noises every hr with a message -You have not drank water today. This could get annoying lmbo!
 
I have "WaterLog" for Android. I don't really use it tho. I'm bad about downloading apps and then just letting them decorate my phone. :look:
 
Hmmm.... It's been quiet in here for the past couple days. And now it's the weekend? What's up, ladies? Check in voluntarily or I will have to issue a mass APB.

Howzit going? And are you noticing any benefits from staying adequately hydrated?

As for me, I have 32 oz in already. Falling slightly behind today but still have plenty of time to meet my 64 oz goal. I think drinking water is helping with weight loss and seems to be keeping me from pms breakouts. Whew!
