So in our turbo jam classes they're challenging us. We're all a bunch of fat slobs - well some of us are, there are quite a few fit and trim chickas - I am not one of them.
So we have to write out 3 goals and each week they'll give us another challenge. This week's challenge is fairly simple (or is it?) drink eight 8 oz glasses of water a day.
Do you know how hard this is? *retorical question* I dislike water unless I'm working out (which happens twice a week) it's just bland. I'm not really a soda pop drinker either, I like coffee and tea. Heidy actually suggested replacing our morning coffee with water *gasp* I'm kidding, I mean she really did say that but I'm getting a headache just thinking about the headache I'd have without my morning joe so I compromised with myself and bought "half-caf". baby steps.
I'll *try to* replace my afternoon iced teas with water though. Baby steps.
Each class we attend allows us to put our name in a box, each challenge we attempt gets another name, bring a friend - another name. At the end they'll draw a name and you win something *don't know what yet*
I'm excited if only for the accountability of it all. I really would like to be down to my goal weight by the end of May.
4.5 months.
19 weeks.
133 days.
I can do it.

Ohh is it ever hard to drink that much water! I've tried it, and I'm too weak to break my tea habit. If you manage to do it, you'll be in the bathroom more than any room in your house.. lol
It is hard to drink that much water, and I don't honestly believe we NEED that much. I have read plenty of things that say you don't. We get water in other things besides, well, water ;)
As Doll said, you'll be living in the bathroom!! I try to make myself drink water right before I eat and I tell myself if I drink a soda, I have to drink water... kinda a tit for tat thing. I'm bull-headed... it's not working ;)
I drink my weight in water everyday. Once you like it there is no substitute.
you actually do learn to like it. that's what i had to drink on bedrest when chris didn't make my ice tea daily. mom told me i would start to like it and i thought she was crazy. she wasn't. she was right, as most mothers are. that's something i need to do...drink more water.
The water thing is so hard for me too!! I haven't had any today and it's already 12:30! I'm just lovin' my coffee. I usually start downing it in the afternoon. I am having a rough time working out right now too. 3 days and nothing. Grrrr! Ah well, at least my weight is just holding. Have a great day Forest :)
I still think that you don't HAVE to drink that much water in a day, unless you are working out in addition to your normal day activities. You know what helps me drink water? I have to have it out of a sports bottle (the kind with the sucky-top). My oral fixation allows me to drink way more water that way. Drinking water out of a glass is just plain awful for me.
If I'm "work tired" I enjoy cold water. Otherwise, just for a beverage, I hate water. Maybe we should both learn to like it more. Ugh! ;)
