RECOMMITTING TO WATER

I know one of the things I have gotten lax about is drinking enough water.  I have a glass I am working on right now and plan to keep it full today (after I empty it of course!)

How are all of you doing?

Jeane

Jeane, I know what you mean about getting the water in.  I don't like water either but I usually only drink it and nothing else.  Lately, though, I have been drinking an awful lot of coffee and I probably should cut it out.  A couple of times I have awoke from a sound sleep with leg cramps so bad that I cry out and I get right up and guzzle the water.  So, I've made a rule, coffeee until ten and after that it is all about the water.  I even set out the bottles that I must drink.  It is a task that we must finish.  Good luck with the water consumption.

Thanks for the support!

It is so easy to let bad habits creep back in!  I didn't know that lack of water cause leg cramps, I used to get them quite often but haven't had them since the surgery so I guess the water has definitely helped!

Have a good day!

Oh, I've been doing the same thing. I woke up one night with a cramp way up in my THIGH and it went all the way down my leg and lasted about 10 minutes.  I keep an insulated cup of ice water next to my bed with a lid and straw (after drenching myself and the bed one night). However, I know I need to drink more in the day. I've switched to decaf; I THINK it's not supposed to be dehydrating?? My mom used to fill a pitcher with her "days" water and put it in the fridge. She couldn't go to bed til she finished it.

Hi Jeane   this is Juanita ,if you will drink water from a bottle
{I buy Aquafina 16 oz } put a few bottles in the freeze and let them get icey  and if you like put  some lemon juice in it .
Keep a bottle at your computer or if at work your desk, and when the bottle is empty then refill it put in back in the freeze and get another one . Always keep water with you. I drink 4-5  16 oz bottles a day. you need at least 64 oz a day
You don't just have to use lemon, you can put Crystal Lie in the water.they have lots of diffent kinds

Until Later Juanita

I am also working on the water! I downed one bottle already and in 30 minutes will start # 2 bottle (of 4). I just had some oatmeal.

You are doing great!  Keep up the good work!!!

Jeane

I think it's because I'm only out 4 weeks from surgery, but I'm having a horrible time getting in enough water, even though I do keep it at my desk and drink it all day.  I hope this is "normal" and I'll be able to "guzzle" water again some day - I used to LOVE it!!

I taking a break and having my protein shake snack and will finish this glass of water and get a refill before I start mopping the kitchen.

I need to start using bottles of water again, I always seem to do better about getting more in that way.

Jeane 

I don't know about "guzzle" but I think I have heard the more water you drink the more you can drink somewhere.
