Friday's Water Challenge (9/9/05)

zeraspride · 09-09-2005, 06:55 AM

Good morning ladies,

I thought since yesterday's water challenge went so well (I drank 64 ounces of water - yay!) that we could go again today. Let's see if anyone can de-throne the dynamic water drinking duo of Emily & her Mom with their 160 ounces of water each from yesterday.

I'm working on my first 12 ounce mug right now and I want to wear the tiara today. How about you? Anyone up for another round today?

redqueen · 09-09-2005, 07:19 AM

Okay Lisa! I'm with you today! I'll finish this cuppa and get started on the first 16 oz glass!

I actually have always, even as a kid, loved my water! My mom would never let us have soda or kool-aid, because of the sugar, so we all drank water. Even with meals, it was water. I used to be so surprised when I ate at a friend's home and they had milk with dinner!

One of my favorite tricks is to slice some cucumber and lemon and throw it in a pitcher of water. Or, sliced strawberries & cucumber. I have even thrown in some lavendar flowers. I know it sounds weird, but it really is delicious!

I'm in (and I hate water, but have been trying)

16oz down.

zeraspride · 09-09-2005, 08:39 AM

Glad to have you joining in with us Chris! Adding those additions to water sound good, especially the strawberries. I never thought of that!

Reg - Yay! Glad you're along for the ride too. I'm not a big water fan either but I figure these last few pounds are not coming off with diet and exercise so maybe I need to flush these suckers out of my body! Good job on getting your 16 ounces down so far!

I have finished off 24 ounces and am working on my third mug of water now. WTG ladies! Let's keep it up!!!

Reg · 09-09-2005, 08:39 AM

32oz down

zeraspride · 09-09-2005, 08:41 AM

Reg - we posted at the same time. You are way ahead of me so I'll get to guzzlin'!

Reg · 09-09-2005, 08:44 AM

zeraspride · 09-09-2005, 08:56 AM

Now wait just a minute missy - you stop drinking all that water and let me catch up to you!

zeraspride · 09-09-2005, 09:30 AM

Just finished another 12 ounces so that's 36 ounces down for me!

rose1 · 09-09-2005, 09:50 AM

Yesterday was a bit of a fluke, we don't usually drink that much water, never seem to have the time!

We'll see what happens today... We're having a birthday party at the library today, for everyone who has a birthday in the fall. If you drink lots of water, it negates all the goodies right??? Plus the whoosh fairy vists, right?

I'm almost done with my second 20 oz bottle of water, not sure what Mom has had...

Hugs from the reigning co-champion of the water challenge!

Emily

Very true!!!! I love water, probably because it's all I've ever really had on a regular basis. Iced tea, cokes, etc were always treats, like at a party or something. I've never thought- oh, I'm thirsty, hang on while I get a Coke!
Besides, if I drink too much of the stuff, it makes me feel

80 ounces so far - working on my next 20 oz bottle!!! Mom's right nearby- probably within a bottle of what I've had.

stephanie34 · 09-09-2005, 05:29 PM

Hi. I love water I live for water and I am going on my 100 oz I believe and the night is still young..

Reg · 09-09-2005, 06:06 PM

I'm stopping at 60oz.....didnt feel well this afternoon. I felt intoxicated. Too much water too quickly?

rose1 · 09-09-2005, 06:12 PM

140 oz. so far. We need a goldfish smiley.

rose1 · 09-09-2005, 08:42 PM

All right- By the time we finish our last bit before bed, we will be at 178 ounces of water.

We would NEVER have done this if it hadn't been for the friendly competition!!!

Also, I think we need to give Reg a special award for nearly doubling her usual daily water intake today!!!

redqueen · 09-09-2005, 09:26 PM

Well, it's about 8:30 pm here and I'm about to finish a glass that takes me to 96 oz. I should get to 112 if I don't decide to do some hot tea instead...

Reg: Please be careful. Yes, you CAN get yourself sick if you drink too much too fast. It is called "Water Intoxication" and it comes from depleting the body's sodium and electrolytes by drinking too much water in a short amount of time. You see it is marathon runners if they don't pace their water drinking.

I suggest you spread your water drinking out evenly during the day and not drink too much at one time.

I hope you feel better!!
