Who's with me? I've been so slack on water recently. This will help me be accountable to acheive my goal.

Set your goal for today-check in periodically today.

*My goal for today 8 glasses (64 oz).....I've only been getting about 4 glasses

Off to chug the first 8.

I am with you....my goal for today is 8. I started to increase my daily intake last week and had a goal to drink at least 8 per day but that didn't last. I think I actually met or exceeded the goal 2 days. Starting today, I am back at the water train. At least 8 everyday!

I'll be honest... the MORE you drink water, the more you'll crave it! I'm serious... lemonade, tea, diet coke, gatorade... nothing does it for me like water! It had become easier to drink, once I actually MADE myself start drinking it! LOL! I couldn't imagine a day without plenty of water!

chrissyh

16 oz

Change the way you think about water. When you take a drink, imagine the water going into your body like oil goes into a car. If you want the car to work properly, you must add oil. It keeps all the systems running smoothly just like we need the water to keep our body systems running smoothly. Water will help your body succeed.

Sometimes I put a little no cal lemon juice in mine to make it feel more like lemonade. I love tart things so this really encourages me!

This is bang on the money.

I used to hate water on its own, now I drink loads of the stuff and think it tastes awesome.

i am just about to drink glasses 5 and 6,....... 7 will be with dinner and 8 is for the evening

i struggled to drink water - hate the taste (or lack there-of!). i started putting some diluted orange juice into it and it is so much easier to take now. my logic is that i poured a pint of water into the glass - when i add some dilute, it isnt going anywhere! im still drinking that water, just with a little bit extra. i also find that if i add glasses in my diary for the day, say add 8, then i have the extra incentive to actually drink 8 glasses, because some of my MFP friends might have seen it in my diary, and i dont want to let them down!

ive upped my glasses to 10 today. im halfway through my 2nd glass.

I only drink mine from the filter jug and prefer it ice cold, so sometimes get bottles of water and refill them and stick in the fridge or freezer for a bit

I think I may have to ask my boss to set up computer in the bathroom if I drink any more water!

I agree- i never thought I'd see the day when I'd want water over my precious juice I do at least 10-14 cups a day. But at least 2-3 times a week I'll throw a Fuze Slenderize in the mix but for the most part it's all water all day

FORKDOWN

I have been having issues meeting my water intake also. I went and bought a 64oz water "bottle" (it's really a small jug with a spout) yesterday from the dollar store. It's about halfway gone right now.

That is sooo true. It's so weird because I can't exactly call myself a water lover since I still don't actually "like" it, but I'm addicted to it. I can never take a sip. I need to take big gulps every time.

TheBraveryLover

Oh and once I heard that drinking a minimum of 8 cups a day helps you to burn up to 500 cals a week, I was sold! :drinker:

JD92

chrissyh
