    Almost done with my 8th glass of water for the day! Helpful hint- trade the soda for some H2O, it's one the best ways to reduce those "empty" calories you get with a soda. Especially at restaurants that continues to fill up your glass, drink water instead. Then you won't find yourself drinking the equivalent of 3 or 4 cans of soda.

    That is GREAT!!!! And thanks for the hint!!!! Keep the ideas and tips coming!!! We can all use some help!!!

    I have had all the water I was suppose to have and more. I am looking forward to whatever challenge you give us tomorrow Pam.
    I have one question, I am trying to get everyone added as a friend that is on our team and there is one so far that I can not find. It is DEBORAH_MCCAR/ DEBS/ 164,
    If Deborah or Pam looks at this and knows what I am doing wrong will they please tell me.
    Thanks
    Wendy

    Hi all, I thought it would be good to know a little about each other.

    I am a 42 year old dog mom to a overweight chihuahua named Lolita. I live in Central Florida. I work full time plus overtime weekly. I have a hard time to get all my water in due to my job. However, I will not let that be an excuse for the next twelve weeks.

    Good luck all!

    Good Job!! No excuses!!! Love it!!

    So, today wasn't so good...but I did opt out of my moms dinner of Fried ham, fried potatos, and biscuits with gravy. I went with orange/apple fruit buddies and spicy asian noodles, yum! Probably not as low cal as I could've gone but with very little in the house I did what I had to do.

    The only water I drink s during my exercise. Does flavoured water count? I find it a chore otherwise. Give me fizzy drinks or cordial any day (sorry).

    I'm trying my best with this. The most difficult challenge I've done (including burpees and plank). :drinker:

    As long as the flavoured water does not contain cals it can count for water. But try to challenge yourself to get more water in. I am glad that you are focusing so hard to overcoming and conquering this challenge!

    what time zone are you in, to have done all this already on a Sunday?!? Great role model, keep it up--GO RED! I love that we are the RED team so we can identify with the Red Team on the BL program.

    If you search you can find plain Seltzer or carbonated water at the store. I want fizzy drinks a lot, and this does the trick. Sometimes I add a squirt of lemon or lime juice too. There are some water additives you can put in for flavor that also have some protein and fiber, just check to be sure they don't have sugar. I avoid any Aspartame sweetener as it aggravates my arthritis and causes me some other problems. Using stevia as my sweetener of choice these days--I like that it is natural and has just one ingredient instead of a list of chemicals.
