Seven Day Water Challenge

I am not drinking ANY water!! I know this is a terrible thing. I know I need to drink more water. SOME water. I know it will help me with my weight loss goals. I know this sugar free crap I put in my carbonated water is probably poison.
But I also know that if I MAKE myself drink water for a few days, I will start to love it again.
Anyone in this boat?
I am starting a challenge on Monday Dec 8th. It is my own thing - I will drink 64oz of water spread out throughout the day. I'm going to do it for 7 days and see how I feel about water after that week.
You can join me on Dec 8th or start on whatever day you want. Post your reflections on your timeline or here. or both! I am excited because this is something I have avoided for months. Thank GOODNESS for this community and accountability!!!
Happy drinking.

    Thank you Carol! You have no idea how much I need to do this too. About the only time I like drinking water is after a hard workout or a hot, sweaty day working in the yard. Outside of that, blech! I'm in!

    Yay!!! I have NO desire & I know that is just AWEFUL. Been over 3 months that I've been avoiding it. Even longer since I was drinking water regularly.
    We start Monday Kris!!!!

    Woop! Woop! We have to keep remembering how great we felt when we did it before. Also great for the skin. My aging skin needs it! Also, think of the great quads we'll be working from doing all the squatting in the latrine. At least I know I will with my bladder. Hello sleepless nights:) We got this!

    I realize I use "great" far too often. What the heck??? Reminds me of the Ben Coomber episode and "awesome"!

    Here's a bit of a bio hack I got from Ben Greenfield's podcast. I tried the Peppermint oil and not only does it add a shakeup to the taste, but the metabolic effects seem to be there as well. Feels like a shot of brain fuel. Works good in coffee as well.

    LOL! A friend just so happened to have bought me "pee pee pads" for my last birthday. Time to pull them out! Nice friend, huh? I have already had 16 ounces. BAM! The flood gates have opened...
