8 a day Challenge....(WATER)

[PopModePrincess]

Checking in to say I'm still doing ok. Today I had less drinks, but I was away from home most of the day. I notice that sometimes when I go out, I kind of slack off. I need to stop doing that. I know I had 8 glasses though, just don't think I exceeded.

Well I am SO SO late to join this challenge, but Im definately up for it. I started trying to drink more water a couple of days ago, but its going to be so much better doing it with all you guys cos we can all support each other!

So far I've noticed that my skin is much smoother and brighter, i have had a break out but Im sure its just the water flushing all the nasty stuff out my skin! Also my legs are looking much more toned because im getting rid of all that water retention.

I really needed to do this because the last semester at uni turned me into a major coffee addict, i wouldnt drink any water... just strong coffee which is really dehydrating!

Today is the first day I dont feel like Ive been struggling to drink water too, Im used to it now.... I used to hate the taste of water and could barely finish the glass! lol!

I missed having a hot drink in the morning, so I've been having hot water with honey and lemon, very tasty and good for you too!

oh also I noticed my lips are slowly getting healthier and not as cracked and flakey and sore! lol! I have such problems with my lips, during the winter especially, so this is great!

After almost a week into this challenge, I'm beginning to find that I'll feel thirsty if I don't get my regular sips of water. Anyone else facing this?

Hi everyone, hope it is not too late to join in on this challenge. It is now the 11th of Jan but I am going to do it anyways since it was part of my NY res. I used to be so good at drinking lots of water, so this will help. I will have to post a no makeup picture tomorrow since I have already done it this morn. Maybe I will do it after I wash it off tonight. I will have to come with a warning label.:icon_roll Ugly skin without the makeup since I hit my 30's. Maybe this will help /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ok it is now 2nite and here is my scary photo:

 

[qristeele]

Ah yes! Today I started drinking water only towards the later half of the day (the first half I had juices only) and I feel a bit parched today too! Am now chugging down lots of water to catch up and I've just managed to hit my 8 glasses.

Welcome bronze_chiqz, JJ84 and lovesboxers! You're definitely not late to the party. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Results come quickly and in a few days you'll be swimmin' with the rest of us! JJ, I see that you've been doing great already! Keep it up! :clap

Thank you Raquel, qristeele Kim and Kaori! You're all very sweet. :icon_redf

Just like JJ experienced, I'm having less bloating when I'm drinking lots of water. Am I the first one to have a period in our group? What I've noticed is a lack of overall belly bloating and swollen ****s. I feel so much better physically than my other cycles, where everything fits tighter for a few days. Didn't do squat for my mood swings or cramps, but I wasn't counting on a miracle. heh heh.

qristeele, last night I went out for some shopping and after an hour I started to feel thirsty! Mind you I already finished my quota but being away from water for just that period was physically noticable.

 

[Andi]

me too! before I went to school at 12:30 today I had 3 glasses of water and when I got to school I felt like I haven´t had anything to drink in days

 

[Andi]

oh sorry I forgot to mention...Kerry your skin is beautiful!!!! your foundation is flawless...maybe it´s cause your no-makeup pic is so flawless as well. I´m jealous of your skin and skintone!

 

[livlegacy629]

just checking in, sorry i have been really busy and haven’t really been on MUT for a couple days. I have been keeping up with my 8 glasses of water a day. i have noticed that my skin looks much better (ALMOST a glow) and my skin tone is much smoother. My energy is soo much higher now! on a down point, I have gotten about 2 BIG bumps, one on my neck and one on my chin. I know its the toxins escaping my body but its still hard! lol. Also i still do have a little bloating.

 

[Kelly]

Just checkin in....Kerry I too have noticed the bloating is going down....I can drink water and not get bloated now. In regards to the period, ummmm I'm just getting done with mine and I noticed my symptoms were more mild than normal. Normally my periods are REALLY bad, the symptoms that is! BAD cramps, BAD, but this time only one day of bad cramps (normally my bad cramps will go on for days and start a week before my period).

So anyhow.....I am so happy to see others still joining in. WELCOME:clap . You are not too late at all. We are going until Valentine's Day, and you will notice in just a few days like the rest of us, the effects water will have on your body performance, health and complexion. Can't wait to hear how it effects you.

I've too noticed my lips have not needed my chapstick (I think I use to be an addict to lipgloss or chapstick....but now I do not need it as much). My skin feels less dry (my legs and such).....(my body is weird I have dry skin every where except from my chest and up, then it's oily.....but the water has been helping).

Oh and one more thing, I now notice after I finish my 8 glasses, that I am reaching for more now.....go figure. I couldn't even finish 2 glasses before we started this and now I'm wanting more.....

 

[Kelly]

I am so excited for you:clap . That is awesome about your "glow".

 

[Kelly]

I feel the same. Great job Arielle, I don't know what I would do if I had to work or go to school, I'd be hoggin that bathroom. Things seem to be better in that area now....still usin the jon but not as ofter as in the beginning.

 

[Kelly]

Your so funny!!!!:icon_lol: . Actually I'm in my peri-menapausal stage....yes at my young age, my mom also went through it early. So right now I get BAD symptoms and then some!!!!!, and barely a period (3 days worth of not even filling a pad....ok too much info). But I wonder how long this will last, I know the whole thing can take 10 years but does that mean even more if you add in peri and all that garbage?

 

[Andi]

for me it seems to be getting worse. at least I´m smart enough now not to drink anything at least 2 hours before bedtime...I woke up to go use the bathroom 4 times last night I think. :icon_roll

 

[Kelly]

YES....I didn't believe it, until it happened to me too. I've heard people say it would happen, but....
