    I fill a half gallon jug and keep it in the fridge. Then when I walk by or before I eat, I grab a glass.
    Most of the days, I get through the whole jug but, it helps let me know where I am for the day.

    I keep a 32 oz. refillable bottle with me at all times. I rarely have trouble hitting my 8, so I think just having it there and available is a big part of it!

    I might be doing plie squats rather than lunges due to knee issues. I'll get something done, though!

    That's fine, modify as needed. I totally understand knee issues.

    I don't mind drinking water myself, I just kinda forget to. Have you tried adding lemon?
    I've got the lunges done, the water will take a while : )

    I have two different bottles that have those thick, sturdy, plastic straws. It allows a lot more water to pass through and goes down a lot faster. I was the same way and then I noticed that drinking through these straws for some reason makes the water easier to down. And they have measurements so I know that I need to fill it up and drink X amounts of bottles. :)

    Love it; I'm in! I didn't get any Halloween candy, as I live in a dorm. Phew! Looks like I passed the first part of the challenge! I've had 72 oz of water already today :D Going strong!
    Lunges- You're on! :D
