water, water everywhere...

Posted on July 21, 2014

OMG I seriously think if I drink anymore water right now I will float away~Got my first liter in and it's still before lunch. Looking at my empty liter bottle now I'm thinking do I really need to get up and refill it?

I am NOT a water fan. I have to have it super cold and through a straw and on most of my past days soda replaced it. There would be days where I got no water in. Then about a month ago I started cutting back on soda and went to tea-mainly green tea and now it's just me and my empty water jug sitting here. So the answer to that first question is yes, I need to refill it.

I would rather live on the water then drink it, but here it goes~any fellow water haters out there?

Good work! I, too, am not a huge fan of water. I've started slicing up a piece of fruit and adding a few leaves of basil or mint to mine. Makes it sooooo much better. I enjoy strawberries, lemons, cucumbers and melon the most. Keep it up!

lolol...I agree super cold or with a ton of tiny crushed ice and through a straw or a sports cap. I also put a lemon in it or sometimes a pinch of koolaid powder. I think Im weird sometimes cuz I can drink so much more water that way than just a glass. Soda is still a struggle for me, but hoping to have it completely out of my diet soon.
Good job on starting your day off right!

I am not a fan of drinking a ton of water at the office because I have to run to the ladies room what feels like every 5 minutes, so I tend to be stubborn even when I know how good it is for me :)

I have never been a soda drinker but my issue is not getting any hydration at all. So today I am doing half plain green tea and half water. I want to slowly increase. I have found over the last year that changes that I implemented slowly have stuck with me and are now habits.

Good luck to you and go refill that water jug :)

Not a fan of water but I started putting chia seeds in mine and find it much easier to drink. Google it...it has so many benefits! Cheers to our water...

I will have to google that, thanks!

I started drinking mostly water when I started dieting 4 months ago. It was really hard at first, because I hate the taste. Now, most days it's all I drink, with an occasional diet soda thrown in there. It does get easier!

The part about it getting easier is good to hear :-)

LOL. I'm right there with ya! Would rather live on the water too ;) sounds so simple to drink 100 ozs. (for me) but so friggin' hard to do. Cheers to lots and lots of water and a strong bladder.

I feel the same! It's so bland. I only like water if I'm really thirsty. I've given up diet soda so now I'm drinking water all day too. Maybe we'll learn to love it?!
