CHALLENGE #4: 1/13 - 22 Days of Fitness & Health

Aim for nine cups of water a day. Not sleeping enough can make you as dehydrated as not drinking enough fluids, says Lisa Suriano, a certified nutritionist and founder of national nutrition education program Veggiecation. If you’re bored with just plain water, Suriano suggests snacking on precut watermelon and drinking coconut water (it’s a natural sports drink!) -- both hydrate and replace electrolytes. Fruits and veggies with a high percentage of water can also give you the hydration you need: Try oranges, berries, cucumbers and celery.

This is such a hard one for me!  I am really working on it though and have found that if I immediately refill my water bottle, I am more successful.  I also carry my water bottle into every room I go in to!  Also, I got myself a 32oz bottle and find that before I know it I have chugged the whole thing!!

I try to drink as much as I can, but how do you keep all the water intake from waking you up at night? I'm getting up 2 and 3 times a night to pee, and baby's not even all that big yet!

I'm a water drinking machine!! And the grocery store around the corner from my house has the cheapest no-additives-or-sweeteners coconut juice I've ever seen! Love the stuff.

One trick I learned to help drink water was this: at every stop light I'd drink at least 5 ton10 swallows - if not more. I had a commute at the time woth lots of lights so it was a great way to get in my water quota. A tip though if you do this! Maybe sure you pee before you leave home! Instill always have water in the car with me. I buy a case on sale and have it in the back of the car so if I forget some at home, there is no excuse!

I try to drink lots of water but getting enough sleep is hard for me especially these days since my LO is waking more frequently throughout the nights.

This is part of my goals.  I know when I focus on water I think about snacking less because I stay full all day.

I use the water bottle I got from the hospital from when I had DD in september and take it with me everywhere ! It's measured for 32oz so I try to drink at least two and sometimes three

I like adding lemons to my water sometimes. Change it up! But man, ice water is one of my favorite things.

the camelback water bottles that you can suck water down while driving safely still are the BEST way for me to get a quick 20 oz in. i always fill it up before i leave the house & gym. ! they sell them at target too!
