Water

[Finelly]

Ok. Once again, I have not gotten my required amount of water in.

I just keep FORGETTING! The weirdest thing! Then all of a sudden at 5 pm I go "whoah....water..." and try to suck down a whole bunch and get nauseous.

So I created this post and will keep bumping it up for a few days so that every time I sign on and come in here, I'll see it - maybe that will remind me!

SHEESH! I feel like such a maroonnnnn!!!!

Re: Water

Drink, Finelly, Drink!!

I bought myself a pretty pink water bottle that has a flower on it. That helps. And I sometimes slice up lemons and put a couple of slices in. Then it's like a "drink".
I can't drink it cold, it has to be almost at room temp. Easier to chug.
I go to work at 7:00 and come home at 3:00 so I have lots of time to swig a litre and then once I get home I fill it up again. Last time I wasn't drinking a whole lot of water until I was reading posts on this board and clued in. THen I had a major whooshie and that is what keeps me motivated to drink. (water at least). ha Ha.
I drank a lot yesterday evening because I was trying to flush out the Pringles I scarffed down, so I was up in the night, but I figure that's a good punishment. Better than a fat arse!

Re: Water

This is what is killing me!

I like water. I was drinking about 160 fluid oz per day the first two weeks.

I don't drink anything else except coffee (only in the morning)!!!!!

I mean, for God's sakes, Finelly, what is UP?

I'm sipping water as I type, btw...

Re: Water

Here's what I do.... went out and bought a bottled six-pack of Daisani (whatever brand..doesn't matter) and when I finished it the first time I saved the six (16.8 oz) bottles. EVERY night, I fill up my bottles with purified water and put them in the fridge. Everyday I know how many bottles (ounces) I've had and how many more I have to drink. If I know that I'm going to be out for the day, I freeze half my bottles instead of putting them in the fridge. I'm in the south, so while sitting in my car, they have plenty of time to melt. Not only do I have my bottled water on hand, it's usually icy cold with a cute little ice column down the center..LOL.

Re: Water

I have a liter bottle of water at my desk so I sip from it all the time.
You literally need to be sipping water all day.

Re: Water

Right. For some reason, I'm forgetting to get it out of the fridge in the morning.

Re: Water

I think I am engaging in some sort of subconscious self-sabotage. And it will stop. That's my resolve.

Re: Water

I have been better making it one of my goals this week. I get that gallon jug out of my fridge when I make coffee in the morning and put it on the kitchen table with a tall glass and a straw. I find that sucking it down with a straw makes it go faster.

Re: Water

One 16 oz glass every hour while at work= 8

8 X 16 = 128

ONE GALLON!

This is my new challenge for myself.

AND. the bathroom at work is soooooo far away that it's almost a workout to walk there!

Re: Water

My mother-in-law puts fresh mint in her water. I thought it was kind of strange at first - but when i tried it - it was delicious! And i love the idea of putting your water in a fabulous glass or goblet for dinner. I think i'll go out and look for a pretty glass to do that with.

I don't know if anyone else out there likes sparkling water, but once and again i get San Pellegrino. It is so good. You can order it at some restaraunts. I opt for that now instead of soda. It was really hard for me to give up coke. Especially *fountain drinks* - i am a fountain drink addict. I WAS a fountain drink addict... that was my crack.

Re: Water

Finelly and SSGS:

I really don't want to be the buzz kill here But, I feel like I need to. I used to refill my bottles too, until I saw a special on the news about no matter how well you wash them, bacteria remains in the plastic of the bottle. I remember getting VERY bad tummy aches and thought it was from all the fat with this WOE. I stopped refilling bottles and bam, no more tummy aches. Just something to think about when refilling

I am blessed with free bottles of water at work...I work in a start up company and we are all founders. One of our perks is a stocked kitchen with snacks and beverages. The owner was sure to order cases of water, slim jims, and macadamia nuts for me LOL He orders candy and other junk food, soda for everyone else. But before this "perk", this is what I did...

I bought a PUR water filter 1/2 gallon jug ($30 maybe?) I would bring it to work, along with a tupperware 16 oz. tumbler with lid and straw. I would drink my glass, refill. Once the jug was empty, just add water and it filters through the system within minutes.

Also, I purchased an obnoxios 32 OZ mug with a straw. I would fill that up with my purified water and sip on it until 10:00 am (2 hours of sipping). I refilled for a deadline of 12:00 to get it in. After lunch time I refilled and sipped until 3:00 pm, another deadline. I refilled AGAIN before I left the office and sipped until gone. I was getting in 128 ounces by 7:00 pm.

I too need my water almost room temperature. Drinking it cold is too much when drinking a lot! I still fill up my tupperware tumbler in the AM, as well as take 2 bottles from home with me to work so I am contributing to myself LOL

Re: Water

I have a ?...

Has anyone else noticed that if you go a few hours WITHOUT drinking water that your thirst is worse than it as before you became a waterlogged puppy? Now that I am drinking about a gallon a day, I can't gowithout it for more than 2-3 hours.
