Water Blues!!!

Tazz71

Up until about a week ago, I had no problem getting in 8-12 glasses a day. I had my system down. I jump start my day with 2 glasses with my supplements. While at work I typically get in 4-6 glasses and then get 2 or more in with dinner. Now, I'm just not thirsty and don't want to drink anything. I still get my 2 glasses in the morning but have only been able to get in maybe 2 glasses all day at work and maybe one more in the evening. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any suggestions would be welcomed and appreciated.

I'm with ya. I'm still making myself drink water but sometimes I just dont really want it. I think I may go get me a bag of ice from Sonic. That's good stuff!!

Yep. I never remember to drink unless I'm working out, and then not even much.

Oh I sooo know what you're talking about! I'm a preschool teacher and it seems like things have just been so busy that I have trouble drinking all I should some days. I LOVE tea but I tell myself I can't have a glass of tea until I drink all my water, this usually works for me.

Definitely the change it weather has made a difference for me. When it was hot out, I always had something to drink, iced tea, water, whatever. But now that the heat is off, I'm not as interested in keeping something to drink with me all the time. There are some who say that drinking all that water is over rated, because many of our foods contain a high water content which helps meet some of the body's needs.

I hardly ever want to drink water. I just got a new bottle that holds 24oz and I try to drink it one sitting. That way I get it out of the way. Good luck!

That way I get it out of the way.

Get what out of the way? The fictitious amount of water you should drink a day?
