Water water everywhere...

gemfyre2 litres or 8 glasses? Who knows. I figured 2 of the water bottles is 2 litres. I'm pretty sure I've drank (drunk) over that amount today, but the bottles may only be 750mL, not sure.
I decided I'd try for 8 glasses instead. But the glass I'm using is one of our really big cups. I think they hold around 400mL and I'm on my 5th or 6th one.
My kidneys saw the flood of water coming their way and I'm sure they screamed "HOLY SHIZNIT!!" and I've been dashing to the toilet every 10 minutes.
On the upside all I've eaten today was a bowl of Just Right for breakfast (with a glass of juice), a toasted foccacia with garlic mayo, ham, semi-dried tomato, mushroom and jarlsberg for lunch and a small Cadbury easter egg. Hopefully all I'll eat for the rest of the day is dinner (apricot chicken) and maybe another small bit of chocolate for dessert.

Date: 2003-05-01 09:31 am (UTC)but you are on the money with 2l, but a large size bottle is 1.5l so it was easier for me to just do a large size bottle than to attept to try to count glasses...(but i also consume 2-4 500ml mugs of herbal tea a day too, and drink nothing else, unless i'm really bad and evil and have milk, which i'm absolutly NOT supposed to drink! bad odie! y'anyway herbal teas are considered water, unlike green/black teas, so i easily can round down, cept in summer, which is over for you, it can go up to 3+l for me depending on how active i am)
glass = 8oz = 240ml x 8 = 1.92l
Counting glasses? Why not count meals?
Date: 2003-05-01 10:55 pm (UTC)If you just eat the three, then every time you want a snack, drink a glass of water with it. You'll find you'll get it easily.
Hmmm, that reminds me, I aint drunk any water yet today. *hunts down where he's put his water bottle*

Date: 2003-05-02 06:34 am (UTC)why you wrote me back about meals just doesn't compute unless you are just uber proud of what you've found works for you...
Re: Counting glasses? Why not count meals?
Date: 2003-05-03 02:09 am (UTC)I was just pointing out an easy way to count glasses, cos drinking a big bottle of water isn't necessarily the best cos I find it hard to drink it a little bit during the whole day, and generally drink most of it at once. Where as if you have a drink with every meal, its easy to keep count, in fact you wouldn't really have to think much more than "where my glass of water?".
I just get carried away in my general enthusiasm for stuff.
Sorry for giving you all the extra stuff you didn't need to know. I need to learn when I'm blithering and shut up.
