@@Anabean I am 5 1/2 weeks out and I have one shake a day and then put a scoop of GENEPRO in something for another meal .....sigh. I hate the shakes and it's a pain to drink them but that's the only way to get the Protein for me

Thank You so much! This gives me a few ideas! I also sip on Bone Broth occasionally- 7g of protein per cup!

I'm with you! I used to drink about 120 oz. a day and now it's a good day when I reach the 64! Crazy thing is I do it well on the weekends, but during the work week, I struggle to get it in. I'm constantly on the go and can't carry my water bottle with me all the time, so on breaks I try to drink, drink, drink! I've actually started some "water breaks" in my classroom, to get more Water in. The kids need and I need it so it works out !

In the exact same boat busy job lots of meetings I do take the Water bottle lol just seems harder during the week. My NUT says I HAVE to drink Water water water she doesn't count any other bev towards my water intake lol. She's brutally tough. I miss a good gulp. Lol
