I find it really difficult to get enough water intake in a day, especially when I am working. I just forget when I am so busy and find the whole day going by and I've forgotten to have water.

Lots of good comments on the water, or lack thereof. I personally have to be careful of my intake amount due to bladder problems. My limit is 24 oz a day, but of course I never reach that amount. They do say excess water can be bad for you and you can actually drown if you consume to much in a short period of time. I'm not sure what the time frame or amount is but 64 oz a day would definitely have ill effects for me. I think it all depends on your body, outside tempature and tolerance. I can tolerate a lot more if it is really hot outside but in the winter I have to be careful as it causes major swelling in my extremities as my bladder cannot hold it and I go toxic. Love reading your comments and seeing how others handle things that seem so minor sometimes but can have a major effect in our success. Thanks again.
i dont drink enough water either
ReplyDeletebut when i do i feel much better in every aspect
your doing great keep itup
8 glasses of water used to sound SO impossible to me. BUT they recommend 8, 6oz glasses right? Now that I actually know what 6 oz is, it is SO MUCH EASIER then I ever thought!
ReplyDeleteMy glass holds 12 oz, (my green plastic one holds 18!) So it's only 4 glasses... I don't think a lot of people realize that...
heh, i'm a bit skeptical of the whole 64 oz. of water a day thing. I actually heard that too much water can end up depleting your body of minerals and electrolites (sp?) when you go to the restroom. But yeah, I for one, definitely do not get enough water in each day either! And I totally relate with the whole, "where did this day go" feeling! Weird how quickly March is going by, we're practically half way through already...yikes!
ReplyDeleteI agree, 64 oz does seem like a lot! But I always hear 6 8oz glasses- so that would only be 48, which is better. I aim for that, but neve get there lol. i am happy around at around 40 oz.
ReplyDeleteI bought a reusuable water jug [in pretty blue] and marked where my daily water intake was with a sharpie on the outside. [I do 64oz] I think the container cost me 2.00 dollars.
ReplyDeleteI fill it up every morning and drink off of it all day long - that way it doesn't seem so daunting [it really isn't that much water] and I don't have to be bothered to count/write down when I do drink my water which I found to be a pesky thing to do.
Hope that helps - and your body and especially your skin will thank you :D
