my new rule for myself - '40 by 4'

Hi everybody! If you are having a tough time getting in all your water, this has really helped me. I made it a rule for myself to get in 40 ounces by 4 p.m. Then it's easy to get in the rest before bedtime. Sheryl

thanks for the heads up Sheryl.. Call me sometime..I want to hear all about how you are doing. still have my number? Take care Sally

Hi Sheryl, ok its 3:56 did it work...?lol when are you going to make it to one of the meetings? Vee comes, they are a nice group . Take care and glad you can get your water in.... Hugs, Anna

My labs keep saying I am dehydrated and I always have in 100+ by 4. My doctor thinks the labs say this because I am dehydrated early in the a.m. when my 15 vials of blood are drawn. Makes sense to me. Sandy

Hi Sheryl, You know I think I will have to try this rule because I was drinking a lot of water when I came home and even during my water areobic class and then I was up every 1/2 during the night peeing and peeing and peeing. By the way, I took your advice a while back of not getting on the scale all the time and it helped. I had to go to the Doctor's because I have the flu and I have lost 52 pounds. I actually was in the ER this past Saturday with a fever of 105 and they gave me so much fluids I actually gained 8 pounds and I did not even panic. I knew it would come off. Well, it did plus a few more. So thanks for being there for me.
