Water Challenge Time!

Ok folks, this was a great idea in the past and it's time to resurrect it.

For those who are new or didn't pay attention last time - a water challenge
is *not* who can drink the most water. It is a way for you to set a goal
for yourself, a healthy one, and try to meet it one day at a time. Most
experts recommended that we drink at least 64 oz. of water per day for a
multitude of reasons though many of us do find it helps with weight loss
too. However, a number of us find we let this go while working on our
healthy WOE. The purpose of this challenge is to bring your attention to
how much water you are drinking.

Participation is completely voluntary. If you think this is an "insane"
idea then just go play with yourself and leave the rest of us alone.

Starting tomorrow (Monday 8/29), post your results (goal/actual) at the end
of the day.

Oh, sounds like a good idea. I'd like to participate. How long does it last?

I should join in. Although right now I'm 1/2 way thru a 1 liter bottle and
I'm also fighting an allergy/cold that has decided to attack my throat this
morning. I'm finding drinking water is not very soothing.

Lately I've been drinking too much diet soda and not enough water. I
really need to change that.

I also like the old drinking game we once had on ASD. Anytime you read a
post with the word Water in it, you drink.

LOL, that's what works for me! I'm not counting, I'm just drinking
every time I get up to pee, as well as anytime it occurs to me.

I also like to start out the day with two full glasses of water. I'm
doing another "Body for Life" challenge and a nick-name we've got for
that is "Potty for Life" because of all the water we drink.

LOL! My co-workers probably think I've contracted some sort of exotic
disease considering how often I run to the bathroom.

I'll try to be in, though I haven't been reading lately!

But, I *am* painting my living room and it has been a huge chore as
much of the walls need repair before painting. I'm definitely not
drinking enough and I feel it. So anything to make me think about
drinking more is good.

I haven't been eating right lately either, so maybe getting back to my
water will help with that.

I was wondering how things were going for you. Hope to see you posting more
often.

When things are more straightened out here, I might have time. But
right now, not much time for the computer at all.

However, have my water bottle in hand this morning, though slightly
marred after the cat tried to chomp the straw the other night.

Hi Cynthia - I'm piggybacking as I didn't even see this message in the
original (I don't have you killfield, honest!).

Glad to see your post here - hope things are going OK in general for
you and George.



Things are fine, I've just been very busy. And not eating as well as I
should because of it. I think things will be a *little* less hectic
when I have this painting done and then I'm going to focus harder on
the weight issue. Because my ankles are really bothering me.

But right now, not on the computer much.
