    How is everyone doing on the challenge? I had a day full of meetings and about half of my water intake. So I am going to chug chug down the water tonight. Does that count?
    This is a great first challenge! Welcome to all the newbies that joined! The more the better! :bigsmile:

    Oh I totally know what you mean. When I work from home all I do is think of food. Then I snap out of it and go and go do the treadmill. I live in a very rural area so the gym is not an option. So I made my own gym.
    I think I might spend the rest of the night in the bathroom...lol! How would you know if you have over hydrated? I see people drinking 3 liters per day and I think wow!

    Under certain conditions, the body takes
    in more water than it can loose causing
    a decrease in sodium concentrations
    and an electrolyte imbalance. This is
    over-hydration. Sever over-hydration is
    called water intoxication. Both of these
    conditions require immediate medical
    attention.
    To avoid over-hydration, carefully
    monitor fluid and sodium intake when
    perspiring heavily (such as with athletic
    training, strenuous work) or when ill.
    This article explores over-hydration
    and water intoxication.

    i know i wish i could take that much water... i hate the boring taste of water so over drinking it will never be a problem... but south beach diet has pouches that u pour into ur water bottle that makes it taste much better!

    That is a great tid bit of info on over hydration.
    I like the south beach pouches I also like the crystal light pouches. The more I drink water the colder I get during the day. I think I am the only on that still have their space heaters right at my legs. lol! Thankfully I work from home most days so I bundle like a snowman. Its kinda funny.
    Is it true that if you drink coffee that you have to drink more water because coffee dehydrates you? I heard that but did not know if it was true.

    The weather is so icky here! I am sick of the rain already. I guess that is what I get for living near Seattle.

    In the summer it is wonderful down here. Right around 100! I love the heat! So yep we can switch. You can have all the snow...rain..and I can have all the heat! Oh 50 degrees is a bit too cold for me! Brrrrr...What is really pathetic is that I had where my winter jacket this morning driving into work. 39 degrees here this morning. Is spring ever going to make it??

    So are you in college down there?

    Haha, I didn't even know what the challenge was yet, and I had already told myself I was going to get down at least 8 glasses of water today! And I have successfully done so! In fact, the day is not over yet so I still have time to drink more....but I've started peeing a lot lately so I think I may opt for some Soy Milk instead....So what day is the next weigh-in?
