Water

I am calling today Water Wednesday!! So Keep Calm and Drink More Water.

Who is going to focus on drinking more water today? A few tips:
1. Ditch the creamy coffee drinks. Allow a cup of black coffee.
2. Bring a water bottle with you all over and have a goal of how many you will drink today.
3. Skip the soda. It only adds calories, puts chemicals in your body, gives you bloat, and then gives you a false sense of full to make you ever hungrier later.
4. Add some lemon, limes, cucumbers, fresh mint, or berries to change up your water.
5. Drink a glass of water before you eat!

Who drinks enough water and how much do you drink?

    I drink roughly about 4 litres I think a day, more or less. If I don't drink it, I feel rubbish. I do try to stay away from any other drinks but if i do treat myself, I enjoy them even more.

    No - guilty! Unless it includes boiled water infused with tea bags!

    I'm inspired right now though so 'thank you'!

    I'm with you!

    I probably drink 2-3 liter a day. hmmm, maybe more as i drink 0.5-1 liter during my workout.

    I AM guilty (if that's what you want to call it :laugh: ) of drinking coffee but i usually drink homebrewed or instant with a little skim milk . sometimes i'll splurge and get a latte - with low fat milk, no cream or anything fancy.

    I don't drink soda - i think i can count on one hand the number of diet sodas i have a year.

    Sometimes i'll drink crystal lights. I've been trying to change my third (and more) cup of coffee to herbal tea.

    I drink 14-16 cups of water a day. Weekends are hard for me but I'm working on it. Love the lemon, cucumber and mint water.

    I try to drink about 15 cups a day. I agree with the weekends being harder.

    I have a 24 oz insulated water bottle. I drink one in the morning and evening plain. I drink two mid-day slightly flavored. I have one beside the bed if I get up at night. I drink some of it when I wake up before breakfast. Its way more than the 64 oz that is recommended by some, but it feels good to me.

    I drink between 13-15 cups of water per day, every day. I've added one diet soda to the mix lately, and I do drink coffee in the morning with half and half and sugar, it's my little splurge. I go out to eat a lot, but I stick to water without ice so I know exactly how much I'm drinking.
