Take the water challenge!

[Thandie]

Ironwings and I decided to challenge ourselves and drink 1 gallon of water per day, since we've both been slacking on it.
Mommalu has joined us. I'd like anyone who wants to hidrate themselves and look better in the process to join in.

All you need to do is check in eveyday and post how much water you had that day or the day before. Up to you!
I hope that by posting it,we drink enough water, which is part of a healthy lifestyle. I, for one, will do what I'm always saying will do, but slack on a daily basis.

Yesterday I made it to barely 3/4 of a gallon.

ditto - why is this so difficult!! We know better.

 

[mommalu]

I feel like I am going to float away...
4 32oz Nalgene bottles. 128oz total consumed. about 8 trips to the girls room

 

[Thandie]

This is very interesting. I carry a water bottle everywhere I go. If I'm sitting, is right near me. Even when I'm thirsty, I don't drink all the water I need.
So, I made it to 3/4 of a gallon again.

Good for you Mommalu! The feeling of floating will go away and you'll have beautiful skin.
Ok, today, I'll make it to a gallon..

 

[mommalu]

again I had my 4 32oz Nalgene bottles of water(w/lemon)
Also 3 glasses(20oz) of green tea

 

[Thandie]

Awesome, Mommal, you're my hero!

I made it to a gallon yesterday. I'm hoping this will continue.

 

[*ebony*]

I'm in ladies!!

i tend to overlook this crucial important detail. now that i think of it, i barely get the recommended 8 cup a day much less even close to a gallon of water.

 

[mommalu]

Awesome, Mommal, you're my hero!

I made it to a gallon yesterday. I'm hoping this will continue.

Great job thandie!! Keep it up!!
I'm at 96oz so far and it's only 3pm. I have the day off so I'm drinking more than I would at work.

 

[jeepchick]

I want to join. I won't be able to post every day but I will keep a record and then post. JCK

 

[Thandie]

Another gallon yesterday. Yea!, I'm getting there!
Today will be a challenge. We're getting a few inches of snow. (That's a big deal for NY.)and I'll be running around, but I'll get it in one way or another.

 

[*ebony*]

i only got in about 10 cups of water yesterday

and i was trying.....

 

[Thandie]

Bikinimon and Evony, It's ok of you don't get a gallon. The idean is that you're trying to get more water then you normally do. Keep trying! and if you get a gallon, the better!!

 

[needtogetaas]

I want to join. I won't be able to post every day but I will keep a record and then post. JCK

The user 'jeepchick' has been gifted a platinum membership!

 

[*ebony*]

14 cups and lots of trips to the restroom.

 

[Thandie]

Only got about 3/4 of a gallon, if not less. Here in NY we get thrown off by snow bc it becomes such a mess. I was going around mush on the street and didn't think about water. I can see it in my skin.

 

[ironwings]

I'm doing OK ladies - anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 each day. I thought for sure I could get in a gallon. Soon! Soon!

 

[mommalu]

I was too busy at work yesterday and only managed to get in 64oz.
I'm off today and will shoot for the 1 gal mark again(hopefully more)
We're in for a whopping blizzard here in MN.

 

[mommalu]

160oz today along with this wonderful dinner

 

[*ebony*]

16 CUPS OF WATER TODAY!!!!!

i feel like i won a marathon or something.


mommalu-yuuuuuuummmmy!!!

 

[Thandie]

Mommalu, that looks so yummy! I want some of that.

Evonyc, that's awesome!

I only managed 3/4 again Dang!
I'll be home today and will surely get my gallon. I want fabulous perfect skin for the holidays...........and beyond!

 

[mommalu]

Mommalu, that looks so yummy! I want some of that.

All I did was cut up zucchini, green peppers, red onion, red/yellow orange pepper & shrimp. Tossed with a bit of evoo & Lemon Pepper Sea salt. Let sit for a few hours.
Then grilled on my George Foreman. It was delicious!!

It's so much easier to drink the water when you're home(at least I think it is)
You can do it thandie!!

I'm close to a gallon and is only 1:30pm, so I'm definitely make it.
Thanks, Mommalu!

 

[jeepchick]

Having trouble getting my water in. I've been in the car so much with kid stuff that I keep running out. I'm thinking about getting a water bottle usually I use the 16 or 20 oz bottles. What is the deal with plastic and what should I buy to lug my water around in. Can you buy a small water bottle with a filter? I am very particular about my water. I grew up in the country on good clean water and now live in the city and it is floridated and clorinated uggh. JCK

Any sporting goods store will carry the Nalgene bottles. Make sure that they are BPA free. I have several of the 32oz because my kids like to steel them.

 

[jeepchick]

Is plain water the only think that counts or can I count my Crystal Light? Or is it up to each individual?

 

[Thandie]

Is plain water the only think that counts or can I count my Crystal Light? Or is it up to each individual?

Tea counts bc is just adding leafs. You can add natural fruit for taste. Not chrystal light. The reason is that you get the benefit of hydration and beautiful skin. With chrystal light you'll be adding LOTS of substitute sugar into your system. I did the chrystal light trick for two years because I couldn't get off of it, but it didn't feel good in y stomach, my skin didn't look so good and it was making it even more difficult to drink plain water.
Besides, I never felt hydrated.

+1

It is hard to come off that stuff. I'm still slowly coming off. I typically have one bottle (24oz) a day with a small pack in it. Today however I started out with the tea bag and I haven't missed the crystal light. It actually was starting to taste way too sweet.

Something else you can try - because sometimes tea can also leave you feeling dehydrated, particularly if caffeinated - stick a green tea bag in your water bottle and use it all day. SouthernLord gave me this tip and I love it. I use mango green tea or peach!

Still not at a gallon. I average 72 - 96 oz a day. I'm getting close. Today I should make it! I find it ridiculous that this is so hard. I used to throw a gallon back like it was nothing - before 12pm. LOL - of course I was in the tropics and dancing for hours everyday.

Amen!!
I was a heavy crystal light drinker 7 weeks ago. I quit cold turkey as well as coffee.And have not looked back(and I don't miss it) Now I'll but lemons & Limes and squeeze a piece into my water for flavor. I also like making green tea ahead of time and adding that to my water bottle.
My goal is to drink 64oz before 9am(this is when I leave for work) gave 1 bottle(32 oz) at work and then another when I get home for a total of 128 oz.
Today I had my 1 gallon.
It really is amazing how great your skin feels and how "tight" your body feels from all the water.
Keep up the great work ladies

 

[Thandie]

I had a gallon yesterday, but I have been very inconsistent. I should know better then not being consistent. I want my smoooooth skin back. Now is sort of dry. I'm going to get my act together and have a gallon from now on. I'll add a pc of orange or lemon.

 

[mommalu]

Tis the season...Holly cow~ super busy at work and didn't get but 96oz in.
I was on my feet running all day and couldn't get back to fill my jug.
I'm trying to drink 64oz before I even leave the house.
Tomorrow.....

 

[mommalu]

160oz today and several trips to the little girls room

 

[Thandie]

160oz today and several trips to the little girls room

Holy cow, you're doing good!

I had one gallon for the past 2 days. Hope I'll get it in today since I'll be celebrating at someone else's home.

 

[Thandie]

Got close to a gallon yesterday, but not quite. I can give you about 5 different excuses why I didn't. Ha!

 

[mommalu]

Friday Jan 2, 2009

160oz(this includes 32oz green tea)

 

[Thandie]

Friday Jan 2, 2009

160oz(this includes 32oz green tea)

That's awesome!

1 gallon Jan 1st and 2nd. Was slacking a bit before that.
Back to work..

 

[mommalu]

1 gallon Jan 1st and 2nd. Was slacking a bit before that.Back to work..

Way to go Thandie!! We're doing great!!

 

[mommalu]

1 gallon today.
32 oz of this was green tea(I love this stuff)

 

[Thandie]

Made it to a gallon yesterday. Only bc I didn't want to come here and post I couldn't make it. Me bad! Anyway, whatever works, right?

 

[Thandie]

I have a 20 oz water bottle that I refilled 5 times yesterday. So I only came up 28 oz short of a gallon! For me that is HYUGE!!!

I made it to the gym on Sat and Sun but just before I went to the gym I got a nasty tickle in my nose that turned into a cold. So I took Monday off. I am feeling better today so YOU KNOW my butt will be in the gym.

Yeay me.

Pretty good. Yeay, you!!!!

 

[Thandie]

I am also switching up. I used to consume water that was sweetened with splenda products. Now I cut that down to only 2 20 oz bottles a day. My goal is to virtually eliminate all the splenda in my water. Maybe only use the sweetening products on occasion.

I also waaaaaaaaaay cut back on consumption of alcoholic beverages.

That's awesome! you're doing great, BkM..

One gallon down for me yesterday. Much improved!!

 

[mommalu]

(6) 20 oz bottles yesterday! YEAY!!! The second one that had the splenda in it tasted icky so I am thinking that is a way good thing.

Great Job!!
Once you get past not having the splenda for a few days & then you resume...it does taste nasty.
I like adding lemon wedge to my water for an added kick.
Green Tea is also another favorite.

 

[cindylou]

I'm going to try now too. I really need to get this in check before I get huge.

Doesnt extra water help with strech marks? Im gonna try and not get any stretch marks if I can

 

[Thandie]

Yes, it will keep you hydrated and will flush your system, therefore your skin will not get dry. One of the reasons for getting stretch marks is dry skin. Also use vitamin e oil and plenty on body cream.

 

[Thandie]

Well, I've slacked with the water today. Probably 3/4 of a gallon...Maybe.

 

[mommalu]

Same here...Was not with it today.

 

[ironwings]

You guys suck. Kidding! I'm averaging about 70 - 80oz a day. I'm hitting the slopes this weekend. I wonder if I should strap on the camelback? LOL

 

[Thandie]

Me bad!
and I'm so dehydrated. Go figure!

Hey...the day's not over yet!! chug chug a few more.
So far I'm at 96 and the night is still young.

Mommalu, thank you for that nudge. I just laugh when I saw it; it was so cute.
As a result I got my gallon of water yesterda and I'm on my way from early this morning. Thank you, thank you!!
You have no idea how important it's for me to get that much water as a competitor. That will make a huge difference on how I look.

Hey~ with all the help you have given me... I'm thrilled you made it!! Good Job.
Someday, I'll be able to answer/reply to allot more questions on here, but until then, I'll sit back and soak up all the info you ladies give.
Keep it up.

 

[Thandie]

Got a gallon yesterday. Nice and easy! I think I'm on a roll...finally!

 

[mommalu]

I know this sounds strange but this *seemingly silly* thread REALLY helped me out. Thanks for the support ladies!

Right...
I thought I drank allot before but I drink even more now.
Thanks for the encouragement!!

 

[Thandie]

Got a gallon yesterday and 36 oz of green tea. Caught a cold and need the fluids.

 

[mommalu]

I need to get my rear in gear and start chugging. I'm falling behind.

 

[jeepchick]

Well, I haven't made it to a gallon yet but I am drinking way more than I was before. I did inadvertently do a wise thing. My DD wanted to know why I was trying to drink so much water so we talked about the necessity of water for good health. Now she asks me several times a day if I am drinking my water and how much I have consumed. Plus she is trying to drink at least 32 oz a day. There is nothing quite as motivating as having an 8 yr old remind you to drink your water for good health and pretty skin. JCK

 

[Thandie]

Good to see you back and posting Ms Jeepchick!... yup nothing like kids to nag us into healthy habits!

I got my gallon in today so HA!!! And get this... My HUSBAND is also doing his best to float his way to good health!

So the old grump is floating too. That pleases me!

 

[Thandie]

Oh yea... we are going to have to get him a lifejacket or something!

Thanks for saying that, Thandie. I'll pass your sentiments onto him.

He really is working hard to change his lifestyle for the better. Salty old grump... I just now got used to his old man self. Don't want anything happening to him anytime soon.

That's awesome he's changing his evil ways!
I know he's very good to you , so that makes him numero uno on my list. Yes, take good care of him.


I got a gallon yesterday as well in spite of this terrible cold I have. And lots and lots of tea.
It's been years since I got sick last. agh, it brought back memories.

 

[mommalu]

made it to a gallon yesterday. Yea Me!!
And everyone else who reached the gallon mark. GREAT JOB!!

 

[Thandie]

Good job on making a gallon!!!!

 

[ironwings]

I've still been averaging about 80oz a day - and feeling good. Minus this past Sunday while boarding - I was completely dehydrated!

 

[jeepchick]

Today was very off for me. The morning seem to slip away from me before I drank my alloted water so I spent most of the day trying to make it up. Anyone else having trouble sleeping through the night? I have to go to the bathroom at least 2x during the night. I am sure that once my body gets used to the intake it won't be so bad.

Anyone go to Disneyworld lately? We are going next week and I am planning on taking my h20 bottle with me- they do have water fountains right? I really can't see me spending $3 a pop. JCK

 

[Thandie]

I slacked yesterday. However, I'm back on track today.

 

[mommalu]

will a gallon of HOT green tea count?? It's so fricken cold here(-30 below) that I only feel like drinking hot hot tea.

 

[Thandie]

will a gallon of HOT green tea count?? It's so fricken cold here(-30 below) that I only feel like drinking hot hot tea.

It would, but all that caffeine will dehydrate you. Alternate between hot tea and water. I feel for you, I heard you have 15 bellow?????

 

[Thandie]

Got a gallon yesterday..

Yeap, I see you had -30.(missed it) Damn, that's cold! If that happened here, the streets would be desserted.
We're at 12 degree today and complaining.

 

[cindylou]

it REALLY opens your eyes as to how silly some people look when they are trying to conduct business and they are obviously waaaaaaaaaaay too lit.

lol! I am also beginning to see this as well now that I am preggo but still trying to go out a little. I am watching everyone else get silly. lol. At the beginning I am jealous because they look like they are having sooo much fun but after about two hours I am just loling at them. Plus Im extra glad about the hangovers I havent been getting.

Good for you! I'm glad to see you're making a change and that you're seeying things are not as much fun as one think when drinking.
I've been there, watching others look silly while getting slushed.

 

[Thandie]

Barely made it to 1/2 gallon yesterday. Have class all weekend, therefore not easy to get all that water in while in class.

 

[mommalu]

Today's a new day... So I "will" get my water in.

 

[mommalu]

I made it to 160oz of water and then I had 2 big glasses (2C glass) of hot green tea.
I'm floating away.....

Very Good, Momma!

Yesterday I had about 1/2 a gallon again. Today I'll take 1/2 to class and the other 1/2 will have at home....somehow.

 

[mommalu]

1 gallon today.
I find it easier to drink 1 32oz jug at the gym, then another while I get ready for work, 1 at work(sometimes 2) and 1 with dinner.
Walla...1 gallon

 

[Thandie]

Ok, I've slacked for a few days, but I'm back.
1 gallon yesterday..

 

[ironwings]

Ladies, I'm still getting around 80oz a day during the week and on the weekends I bet I'm only getting 40 - 60. Got to figure out a way to take water on the slopes with me!

 

[mommalu]

96oz so far...trying for 1 more 32oz(er)

 

[*ebony*]

96oz so far...trying for 1 more 32oz(er)

great job! i've been drinking too much coffee these days....needs to be replace with good old H2O.

 

[Thandie]

Ok, I'm back on track. Had a lovely time in Paris, but the water consumption was very low. My skin is dry and I feel like an alligator.aghh!

Ebony, lay off the coffee!

Water!!!!!!

 

[mommalu]

I think our thread has fallen a bit behind.
Lets start drinking the water ladies Post up your consumption.

96oz yesterday for me. PLUS green tea

Thank you for bring it back, Momma!
I am falling behind when I should be drinking my gallon.
You inspired me!

You're so awesome!!

 

[ironwings]

Finally I am making it to 96oz a day...another 32 and I'll be there. Actually, I might have that on most days - I never count my water that I have with meals or my tea.

Joints are feeling better

 

[mommalu]

Thank you for bring it back, Momma!
I am falling behind when I should be drinking my gallon.
You inspired me!

You're so awesome!!

Thanks thandie~ as YOU inspire me and so so many people on here.
Keep chugging...I'm going to make my 1 gallon before I turn in 32oz left!!

 

[Thandie]

I'm back to a gallon, plus green tea. Roughly about 140 oz.

 

[mommalu]

I'm back to a gallon, plus green tea. Roughly about 140 oz.

That's awesome thandie!! Good job.
Yesterday I made it to 112oz.

 

[Thandie]

120oz yesterday. Was very busy and kept forgetting.

 

[mommalu]

It's 3:30 and I'm at 1 gal so far. Yeah me!!

 

[Thandie]

It's 3:30 and I'm at 1 gal so far. Yeah me!!

Yeah, you Mommalu! Fantastic!

Don't know what got into me, but I was in the mood for lots of green tea.
96oz of tea and about 75oz of water so far. By the end of the day, I have done pretty good.

 

[*ebony*]

i just wanted to brag that i have been getting tons of water this past week. last six days have all been over a gallon. i've been spending a lot of time in the restroom! but i'm keeping up with it this time and hopefully i'll be making less bathroom trips.


P.S. did i mention i haven't had coffee in weeks! yay me!

Hope you're having green tea.

I've never taken green tea caps, but I know how effective green hot tea is, and good antioxidant. Give it a try. Good for your skin as well.

Way to go thandie. I absolutely love green tea(with a dash of stevia) yummy.

 

[nangiggles]

How's you're water challenge going? Is there room to fit one more? ^_^

Im going to go buy one of those 8 glasses of water equivalent bottles, they are like mini water jugs, I had one in december but since I stopped drinking water it got icky and I had to throw it out.... :s

Maybe it will help me. I'm slacking yet again. I've decided today I'm back to a gallon. I've got to get 1.5 gallon for peak week....gulp!

You are too cool.

How is the bathroom thing going? You should feel some relief by now if you are keeping your consumption high.

 

[nangiggles]

I jusrt got my water bottle thingy yesterday, I could only get a liter in... I hope to increase it gradually, I can go full gallon but then I start hating water so need to escalate to it slowly, as I was typing this I decided to convert 1 gallon to liter and OMG we don't go much by gallons here so now that I see how much it is I definetely need to work my way there my water bottle can hold 2 liters (which in theory is the equivalent of the famous "glasses of water per day") so I'm going to start with that and then aim for the 3.78 liters that are in a gallon

Does the water I intake at the gym count? if so then those are almost 2 more liters I can take ^_^

Yes, that water counts as well. You can also count the green tea if you want.

I've been good so far. 1 gallon per day!!
Where's Mommalu??

 

[mommalu]

Where's Mommalu??

Here I am thandie!! Just pulled up into the driveway at 1pm and had to chug some water. Being on the road was so hard to get my water in as I didn't want to stop at every rest area on the way back
I sure can tell that I was slacking.
I'm back and on track.

 

[mommalu]

Back to my gallon
Sure feels good to be back on track.

How's everyone else doing for the day??

 

[*ebony*]

i buy those big bottles of water from krogers at their organic section called pure mountain spring water. its 50.7 FL OZ per bottle for like 90 cents or something. i go through 3 bottles a day not counting all the water i drink at the gym.

 

[Thandie]

I'm hanging in, Mommalu!
You, however, are so fabulously consistent!!!


Awesome, Evony! very impressive.
I remember when you were having hardly any water and lots of coffee.
Good job!


I'm getting a gallon everyday, plus green tea. So, I'm floating..
