Good idea because I struggle with drinking my 8 glassas of water... Does half water and half juice count...???

The best that you can do is just fine! Building up to adding more in is the goal for us all but we've all started somewhere starting out. :flowerforyou:

I am encouraged by this thread because it helps me not to forget to get my water in before, during and after workouts and everything in between.

Though I've always loved water I still sometimes let hours slip by without any and I'm sure my body is thirsty because when I do grab some water I tend to drink several bottles. So this month this challenge has really helped me focus and get more in.

Thanks for starting the thread and I too hope it begins again in May!:flowerforyou:

I have struggled also and this has been a great challenge for getting me to get closer to getting my 8 in..

As for what to count, I think each person needs to decide for herself. Is is 8 cups of just water or 8 cups of any fluid. After reading several articles, I came up with my on thoughts on what to count and what not to count.

Yes, I think I will do this in May, too, as I haven't quite got my 8 in consistently. Welcome! I will have a new thread.

I just do it a simple way, and drink 3 cups of water before each meal, or with the meal.

Great to hear there will be a May challenge. This has really been helping me drink more water.

I have been drinking water with lunch and dinner more often now. Coffee still owns my breakfast cup though.
