Who's with me? Let's get in our water quota every day in January! Challenge to drink 8-10 glasses of water each day.

As healthcare workers, we know the benefits of drinking water: decrease appetite, decrease meal intake, increased energy, increased weight loss (increased use of the bathroom! LOL), etc...

    I'm in! I'm averaging 8-10 already on weekdays, with my first liter at work and another at home (16 oz with dinner, 16-32 during/after workout). Struggle on weekends and on call. 24 hours in-house throws me off.

    That's a good question....
    How about we post either daily or do a report of how many days in the week you met the challenge. Sound good?:happy:

    Either way is good. It is easier for me to post when I post all my other stuff. So I think that it could be done eiter way.

    I will keep tippin that cup because I love ice cold water. Hope that you are doing well with this also. Keep up the good work everyone.

    I have kept up with the challenge! It was close a couple of nights, but another quick glass before bed (and a potty break in the middle of night, LOL) and I made it!

    HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING?

    I did 8 yesterday. While I was so glad to meet that milestone, I got up 4 times last night for bathroom breaks. It was like having a newborn again, lol!

    LOL!! No kidding. You get used to it and the bathroom breaks become less frequent. I get thirsty when I *only* drink 8 these days!

    Sorry that I did not post yesterday. I did nto drink that much water yesterday I would say about 4 cups. I just was not thirsty but I know that I should drink anyway.

    But today I will have drunk 12 glasses. So I guess I made up for yesterday.

    Think I'll squeak in at 8 when I'm done taking pills. Sore throat makes swallowing unpleasant. :(

    URIs suck. But the fact that I can just type the acronym and expect you all to know it is nice. ;)
