Question - I started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge and am curious to know, does the 8 oz water, I add to the Spark Morning Drink, and the 8 oz water I add to the Fiber drink count as 2 glasses of water as well; or do I need to omit those when I am doing my daily water count? Hopefully this question makes sense!

    I am not to sure myself, but I just count plain water.

    So far I have only counted the water itself, but another person told me otherwise -- so It made me question it. I think I will just continue doing it that way as well.

    The way I figure is that more water can't hurt, except for having to pee every 20 minutes.

    LOL!! You aren't lying! I used to never wake up in the middle of the night either to pee, but, it's a different story now! -_-
    And yes, more water, the better. I'll continue to count it separate.

    Yes. The water you add to mix your drinks counts as "water". Ditto on coffee, tea, mixed energy drinks, etc... . There is a lot of water in produce as well. One of the "dangers" is over-hydrating.

    Thank you, I will take that into consideration! I am still a bit confused on how much, due to controversy recommendations. Some say 8 Cups, others say 1/2 my body weight. That's a 62 OZ difference!
