I just finished drinking my 8th glass of water and it's 2:30 p.m. WOOHOO!!! When I first starting drinking water I couldn't even drink the plain water. I used to get the flavored water. Even then I couldn't drink a total of 8 glasses. Now I'm actually drinking regular water and this is the second time I've managed to drink a total of 8 glasses by 2:30. After I get home from work, I can still drink some more but I try to quit drinking water at work by 2:30 because I have to do a bit of walking and bus riding and it takes an hour to get home and I have a weak bladder. :embarassed: Anyway I'm just proud of me. :bigsmile:

    I know just what you mean! I'm constantly having to go to the bathroom, which is especially awful on car and bus trips! :laugh:

    good for you. I often use green tea to get my water in because it's flavored and I don't add anything in my tea. You might fine flavored teas helpful.

    Good Luck!

    That's great!
    I have been a water girl for many years. I love it in a pretty glass with a lemon slice.
  • I will second that lemon slice idea!

    I have a big 32 oz. cup that I fill up several times throughout the day with ice water and a couple of lemon slices - YUM! Try it - it is great!
