It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question: Are you a water drinker?

I'm trying my best to drink more water these days. I'm not drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day but I'm getting there. It's sure hard on the bladder though.

I am a total water drinker, just wish it had some caffeine in it, to keep me going lol. I drink water from morning to evening, lots of water, lol.
Love good old tap too, when at home, but bottled when we are out of town. Does that answer your question?? Have a great weekend! Sue

I am a water drinker, but not always getting in that 8 glasses a day. My kids are water drinkers........thank goodness I seem to be raising them better.

I drink only water and coffee. I definately don't get in the recommended 8-10 glasses a day. It makes me feel bloated if I drink that many glasses and needing to be near a rest room too! Hugs, Loretta

I LOVE water! I drink it often, I do not drink milk. Never have, so I think as a kid water was my go to. And I have to tell you, never had a cavity and I am almost 39. I contribute it to the water I drink....

I am a water drinker. I don't like coffee of tea. I drink pop when out for a meal but that's about it. At work I have a big insulated cup that I fill with ice water in the morning and at lunch. At home I keep a water bottle in the frig because I like my water really cold.

I need to drink water more than I do, I am lucky to get one 8 oz. glass down in two days. I am a cappuccino drinker.

Yes. I love water so much, but my bladder is not as great as it use to be.

I drink a lot of water & now I am trying to cut back on Diet coke that I started drinking a couple months ago!!!

diane said...

I am a big water girl. My sis says she doesn't know anyone who drinks more. I drink my 8 glasses and yours too.

Janiece said...

If it has lemons or lemon juice in it...
but as a heart failure patient, my water intake only gets to be about 1/2 what a "normal" person gets.
Hey, but it is all good!

Love ya!

Denise said...

Ditto what Kim Sue said. I need to make a greater effort to drink at least as much water as I do Coke Zero!

Christine said...

The key to drinking 8 glasses of water is not to start out drinking 8 but maybe 3. Then work your way up. Then when you reach 8 one day, cut back to 5 the next day.
You can do it but take baby steps.

I love water!

Daphine said...

Yep....but only if it's bottled. lol!

I am a huge water drinker. I crave ice cold water all day long. And in AZ it's a must!

I love water, straight out of the tap, with LOTS of ice. I try to limit myself to one Diet Coke with Lime a day (they are my addiction!) and I drink tons of decaf iced tea. But at night, or when it is really hot, water is the only thing for me. And actually my least favorite is bottled water. I just don't really get it - we didn't have it growing up and we did just fine. I try to keep a few for guests, but the rest of us just drink tap water.

i used to drink water (with a lemon slice) with everything. i think i got burned out on it. now, unless i am really hot, it's hard for me to drink it at all:(
i have started drinking gatorade and like it:) good luck on your 8 glasses/day, linda. it IS good for you!!!
much love,

I am a water drinker, but I only drink when I'm thirsty. I'm more of a coffee drinker!

Hugs,
Donna

I am trying to be more aware of how much water I drink. I do better if I have bottled water or water with lemon. I always order water when we eat out too.
That makes me feel better.
Haven't heard from you in a while.
Hope all is well!
I'll be in Calif. next month and can't wait!
Have a great week, Linda!
Valerie

Connie said...

I DO drink water...not sure that I get a full 8 glasses a day. Maybe I need to track it better. I just drink when I'm thirsty...hmmm...weird.

Janiece said...

hello my dear friend...
hope your weekend was wonderful!
PS
When is your Birthday???

Natasha said...

Love water!

Rebecca said...

I forget - but need to pick up the hydration habit fast! I just read TODAY that the hot weather results in more cases of kidney stones. Yet another reason why drinking a lot of water is essential.

Oh my goodness--I have been away too long--been reading all your older posts--looks like all is well in your world. That marble game--that is the coolest thing I have seen in a LONG time--I think I am jealous. I am a water drinker--LOVE it--put crystal light in it ALOT--we have our own well here and everyone who tastes our water says we should bottle it and sell it--can you drink too much water? Strike that--my bladder answered..

Water ---H2O -is sooooooo boring. water need to be carbonated. I drink WAY to much diet coke (and vaious other specialties) hmmmm. need to drink more water. sorry I haven't been blogging much lately, I need to do better.

Denise K. said...

Love it...especially with sliced apples for flavor. Sometimes when company comes, I will add in berries, apples, and oranges and believe me it makes water exciting! Keep up the good work!

This is bad I am a Coke drinker which is the worst for you.

So I am trying to be a better water drinker but water literally runs right through me??

I can drink a Coke and not have to go to the bathroom for a long time.
A drink of water and I have to find a bathroom within 10 minutes. So I tend to only like to drink water at home or I would just be in the bathroom everywhere.

I know sounds dumb. I know I do need more water though.
