    mostly water with some fresh lemon or lime in it. but i also like to brew some flavored green tea (pomegranate green tea is my fav) and then put it with ice if i'm looking for something cold. i don,t add sugar bc it tastes good on its own, but you could

    water, water with lemon, unsweet tea, herbal tea, coffee with skim milk and sometimes the flavor syrup they have. sometimes the 10 cal rockstar, rarely a real soda. I used to drink crystal light and diet soda and some of the flavored waters, however because of the rumors that may or may not be true about aspertame (especially how it breaks down) I've been a bit more weary about stuff with that has it as an ingrediant :)

    But you should still drink whatever you like, just in moderation. I like to think if I'm thirsty enough for a soda refill @ the restuarant then I'm thirsty enough to drink water and I order water after my soda is gone.

    one that I finds gets me through a lot of times is water with fresh squeezed lemon (or lime if you prefer). You can put the lemon wedge in your water for added flavor. I enjoy it... I would awesome you could do the same with oranges and grapefruit.

    1% milk with my breakfast cereal, at least 10 cups of water/day, and green tea with or without raw sugar. That's it, told myself no more beer or alcohol until I meet my target.

    Do you have a store called Teavanna around you (or some other really good tea store)? They have some awesome teas that have flavors such that you don't need any extra sweeteners. It might be worth trying if you have one around you.

    Aside from that, I don't worry too much about it and will even drink chocolate milk sometimes. Just make sure you count the calories and you're still within your goals. I prefer to avoid the artificial sweeteners, but mostly because I don't like their taste.

    When I was converting to pure water I used to splash a little lemon juice or lime juice in my water to flavor it up. Worked for me.

    I also drink coffee and wine and beer and other "bad-for-you" drinks, but primarily for money reasons most of my hydration is free WATER. :)

    stevia!!! 0 cals, very sweet, easy to grow, dry and turn into powder or cheap to buy already made, plus there are some studies that it has some health benefits :)
    Say WHAAAT? You are my hero! PLEase do share how to grow and the whole process because my need for stevia is great but my pockets could use a little help!!!

    Stevia grows crazy wild, buy a little plant from your local nursery or seeds from amazon for a buck, and you'll have natural sweetener for life! It grows as voraciously as mint plants do, I dug mine up and only keep it it pots now because it was overtaking my garden:tongue:

    when the plants grow tall, cut the taller stalks off, rise, pull leaves off, dry like you would any fresh herb, I put them on a paper towel and just let them sit until dry, use a fine colander or mesh screen and a pestle to crumble/grind it up, stick in spice jar or ziploc, and voila!

    Tea - green, herbal and black (depending on the flavor sometimes with a little sugar and milk and sometimes with sugar and iced), milk, wine, and when I really want one, I have a coke. I log it, just as I would any other treat and move on with my life guilt free.

    I mostly drink plain water because I know that I feel best when I do. I keep a small pitcher at my desk and just keep refilling my glass while I work.

    A tip about tea - if you really want good tea, invest in a proper teapot with an infuse and find a tea house that sells a variety of flavors of loose leaf tea. The selection alone makes this worthwhile! One of my favorite hot day treats is an amazing green tea with peaches that I got form a local shop. Absolutely delicious iced and doesn't need any sugar at all. (If you're in Cincinnati go to Essencha in Oakley! :-) )
