So much water!
I tell you what, I get tired of drinking so much water all the time and having to go to the bathroom all the time because of it! How do y'all manage your water?
|
I know. I hate having to go to the bathroom all the time. But it havent bothered me lately. I guess Im not drinking enough water right now....
|
Water is something I struggle with. And I hate having to go to the bathroom all the time, reminds me too much of being pregnant, haha. I just keep telling myself how good it is for me, and how much my body needs it. Sometimes that works, sometimes it dont.

I use Mio to make it tasty and I'm used to the peeing.. It's good for my kidneys! I only go once every other hour now, and once before bed and when I get up. I've got my bladder on a schedule, LOL. I drink about 130oz of liuid a day. (Water, hot black tea, hot green tea and coffee, and maybe a can of cherry coke zero if i need a sweet fix!)

If you don't feel like drinking so much water, drink less.
Personally I feel most people are drinking way more water than is neccessary. |
I drink so much herbal tea it's downright ridiculous! I have 20-oz coffee mugs and I have a least 4 of them every day.
My "soda" is this stuff made by Nuun called "Natural Hydration" - little tablets very lightly sweetened with Stevia Leaf Extract -- I have one or two a day. Then I also have a 20-oz water bottle that I polish off at the (water w/ lemon or lime juice) and I work out almost every day. In the end, I get at least 120-oz of water a day. That doesn't count the ice coffee I make with unsweetened almond milk every day. Whew! Yep, I'm in the bathroom constantly. My DH jokes that I'm going to start getting thank you notes from Charmin. Hah! |
I think the body adjust somehow. All people are different but I noticed with me i pee more at first, then couple of days later i pee less even drinking the same... strange.

When I'm on-program, I drink 2-4 liters of water a day (depending on my activity level and how much fluids I'm losing). My body adapts within about a week to the higher volume of fluids. To me, any fluid except alcohol counts. I drink a lot of regular and decaf green tea and herbal teas, as well as pure water. I never drink soda and rarely have any other sweetened type drink or juice.

I have alsways loved wate. try eating some ice. My mom did this when sge was prego with me and she lost weight. I have done this since I was little. I like the way it taste lol. I think smartwater and aqaufina taste the best! we fill a 5 gal jug and keep it in the fridge. that water taste good to me too :)

You simply don't have to drink all that water. It is one of the oldest diet myths out there. I lost 190 pounds in 16 months and never once did I make myself drink water. If I was thirsty after excercise or mowing I'd drink a glass or slam some from the garden hose, but other than that I just drank coffee, or tea, or whatever, whenever. I don't have time to to visit the bathroom 20 times a day. Oh...and I have never had a UTI or any other "infection" from a lack of water. All that water is just not nessary. If you eat plenty of vegetables and drink if you are thirsty, you'll be fine. |
Yeah, most days I have a bottle in the morning, 2 glasses at lunch, a bottle with a snack, a bottle when working out, and 2 glasses of water with my dinner. I think that's gracious plenty! Probably just the 2 at lunch and 2 at dinner would suffice, lol.
|
At work I always kept a full water bottle next to me, that way if I wanted to drink I would. I ended up drinking as much as I needed with out overdoing it or forcing myself.
Plus, all those trips to the cooler for refills and trips to the bathroom were a great way to waste time. Now I'm on mat leave and I find I'm not drinking as much as I did. |

And it's a myth that keeps growing to urband legend proportions. The amount of water recommended is steadily increasing (and the number of foods/liquids that are "counted" are decreasing). |
LoriBell - Hose water tastes so yucky! I had to laugh at your post.
