My water intake & protein shake

Hi all,
Started working out with a trainer recently and one thing he has instructed me to do (nutrition wise) is to try drinking about a gallon of water a day slowly throughout my entire day.
I had a question for the MFP community, would it be cheating if I used some of the water in my gallon to mix with my protein powder? Should I consume all 128oz of water on its own or is it ok to regularly use some of it with my protein? I don't plan on using it with anything else.
(My trainer is out of town for a week, otherwise I would ask him)

the whey doesnt effect teh water chemically at all, youre just making a mixture of water and protein powder to make the powder easier to injest, so yes count it0
