Now it's hard Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndeeG 14 Posted September 25, 2016 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.
