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. Jenn |

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. -- PL (320/298/170) (First mini-goal: 299 Reached! 08/26/04) (Second mini-goal: 279) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

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. Cynthia 262/236.0/225 |

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.
