How about doing a ‘water’ challenge where we keep track of how many cups of water we consume in a day?

Works for me. cheese

I always have difficulty in getting enough water down. And with summer & warmer weather coming up here in Australia, I need to make sure I’m getting enough dihydrogenous oxide.  LOL

Hey Sally,

Welcome back!  We could do the mini water challenge starting on Friday.  Maybe keep track of our water intake Friday thru Sunday.  Since everybody seems to say that 8 glasses is the magic number, should we make that our goal?

I’m in for a water challenge! The one aspect that I didn’t manage very well on my trip was to keep up my water intake. And I’m having a bit of trouble getting back into the 8 glasses a day groove. This challenge should help kick up my intake.

Tracking the water is good. But—maybe we should extend it to Weds. instead of Sunday. Reason: Most people have different schedules/water intake on the weekends than on weekdays. It would be good to get a better picture of our water consumption. But I’m up for either one. cheese

Me too! That will give me incentive to keep it up; hopefully I’ll get back into the groove by Wednesday.

Wow Deb - good job!  I wish I could say the same.  I only had 5 glasses today.  I’ve got some work to do!

I got close - 7 cups today.  I’ve noticed that I’m waiting too late in the day to start and then I don’t want to be drinking too much at night so I’m up all night going to the bathroom.  Note to self - start early!

Friday—8 glasses. Saturday—5 glasses Still working on today’s (Sunday’s) water intake.

I think it’s a lot harder than we think to actually get in the 8 glasses. But—it’s good for ya. LOL!

BTW—I filter my water here. Couldn’t STAND to drink it otherwise. Anyone else filter theirs?

I’ve been letting the water slide and today I started to make every aspect of my program work for me. I did drink my 2 liters today (10/21), or 8 glasses of bottled water. I like being accountable. It makes me want to drink a glass right now....lol
