Nice job Christian--you're getting more energy only after a few days of hydradating!!! You are going to feel & get healthier every single day as long as you continue to hydrate & be mindful of your diet & exercise : ) How many other people do you know that need to experience what you are right now?

Hi Jose--only day 3 & you are already starting to feel great changes. That's wonderful -- day 14 is going to feel even more amazing! When you're properly hydrated, you have more energy so you can get through those workouts. Plus, your muscles are getting hydrated as well so less prone to injury & you can definitely start building that muscle you want!

Going to the bathroom more, feeling lighter. My eating has not increased, and cravings for sugar are next to nothing. I am not looking to loose weight, just have more energy and feel great!
Hi Anne,
DeleteProper hydration just really starts to get your body back in balance by getting it working properly. Feeling lighter typically happens because you're going to the bathroom more frequently & better bowel movements....plus eating less. Only because most people mistake thirst signals for hunger. Therefore they end up eating more. So typically when one starts to lose weight when starting to hydrate, it's because your actually drinking water when you're normally eating & your having more bowel movements to get rid of waste. Keeping hydrated is an excellent way to maintain body weight along with a balanced diet & exercise. Keep posting so you can earn those $200 travel dollars! Keep up the good work!

Along with having more energy, keeping hydrated has also effected my skin, I feel my skin has cleared up, especially my face. My eating habits have also changed, I do not eat as much or have as many helpings as I normally would.

I forgot to blog yesterday, so here is day 7 and 8,day 7 monday, 1/16/12 I woke up monday morning with more energy than normally, Im not a typical morning person but recently i have been waking up and wanting to get up which is great, I am ready to go in the morning. Yesterday day 8, I worked from 9am unitl late last night about 10:30, normally i would be starving and have to eat probably a couple times and have some snacks in between, I did not have a chance to eat until about 6 oclock last night, I know thats not good but intresting how I was full after having a little bit of food, I am frequently going to the bathroom and still waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathrooom.
Great job Jude! So proud of the progress you're making. Share your experience with others...they will start to feel all the wonderful benefits you are. The fact is that they don't know how to feel good & a great start is getting "hydrated". More energy, eating less, getting a lot done throughout the day all great benefits anyone would want to have for themselves. Many times people mistake 'thirst' signals for hunger & they end up eating when they should be drinking water. Then they start adding the pounds & don't know why. As for going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, try not to drink water an hour before you go to bed. Otherwise, you'll be getting up : ) Keep up the good work because you're on your way to the end of the contest & earning $200 travel dollars!!!

Hi Jenniffer,
DeleteAll that energy has you motivated to work out now....that's great! Most people don't realize that they are not hydrated & wonder why they don't have the energy to get through the day......so forget about working out!!! However, Jenniffer for you to be properly hydrated, you need to have at minimum 106 oz of water for proper hydration. You have only been doing 80 oz daily. If you are starting to work out, you will need to drink the 106 oz minimum & increase your water intake from there. You are on your way to earning your $200 travel dollars so don't stop now.....keep your daily posting!!

Today is day 11 and i really do not like drinking brita/bottleed water after drinking so much of the filtered water. I bring in Glass bottles 1 liter each to fill up at the water filter and i drink almost all 4 bottles a day. I am sooo looking forward to getting a filter soon. I feel so much better drinking more water.
Hi Anne,
DeleteSo glad to hear that you are continuing with your hydration. Drinking water is not easy especially when you don't like the taste of the water you are drinking. A similar problem most people have. I believe our filter is the best in the industry. For that reason--I LOVE drinking water! As for the contest, to qualify for the $200 travel dollars, you have to post your experience with the hydration contest daily. I still encourage you to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces because you will STILL benefit from the contest by creating a healthy habit like hydration : ) I'm so glad to hear that you feel better. Share that experience with others so they, too can feel better!

Today is day one...I brought my water bottle with me to EHP and to my baseball coaching job. The bottle holds 35 ounces of fluid and I drank it down 3 times today at work and once at my baseball job. My baseball water bottle has seen a lot of action through my college baseball career and it is now with me starting my work career. I gave up soda for my New Year's Resolution. I have done son before and I am only drinking water milk and juices. I loved soda but it made me gain unwanted weight and in just day one of drinking water it has helped me flush out my system and has allowed me to know when I am truly hungry and I have not been thirsty once today. Don't feel a difference yet but I will.
That's exciting Thomas! You can do this....once, you eliminate soda & replace with water, you will see a huge difference in your weight. You will snack & eat less & more importantly have the energy you need to get through the day.

Today is my first day in the contest. I usually drink about 32 oz of water a day so I thought it would be easy to double the volume. However, it was a lot more difficult to do. I found myself going to the bathroom much more often and felt very full. On the bright side, I ate less than I usually do. I tend to snack a lot during the day but found myself eating less today. I am also trying VERY hard to substitute the water with the soda I usually drink, and was able to do so today. I'm not feeling different just yet, but hopefully will soon.
Welcome to the hydration contest! It's never as easy as it seems. But when you persist with your hydration, you will find it's worth ALL the benefits. You're on your first day & you already experienced some significant changes....less snacking (because before you probably ate instead of drank water : )), & frequency of bathroom to eliminate toxins. Once you eliminate soda, you will see a noticeable difference in your energy levels....no more afternoon naps needed : ) Can't wait to hear more.....remember to post every day plus weekends : )

Today I drank 6 bottles of water, roughly 90oz, and I feel just as great as did yesterday. I like that I am able to function better throughout the day without having to take energy drinks. One thing that I notice is that after my third bottle, with every bottle I drink, my body cleanses itself (I have to go pee a lot!) Just like yesterday, I dont over eat.

Day 3
Today I switched up my routine to see how much of a difference water was making in my life. Instead of drinking 2 bottles in the morning, I drank half a bottle and ate a heavy breakfast. I didn't drink any water again until 2:30pm when I had a raging headache, extreme stomach pain and I was extremely fatigued. From that moment on I knocked down a bottle of water every hour until 6:00pm and I felt a lot better. Unlike the past two days, today I was extremely hungry because I didn't drink much water until later on in the day. Needless to say I wont be trying this again! :(

I started Jan. 10th, but did not send my progress comments per day on the blog. I guess I don't qualify for the points now, nevertheless, I still want to share my notes on the 14 days to Hydration progress. It really made a difference how much ounces of water you drink per day. If I know I'm coming down with a headache, it's a reminder that I didn't have enough water for that day. If I had to go to the bathroom a lot of times, I noticed how light I let out when I consumed the 32 to 48 ounces. But there were days that I consumed minimal ounces, & noticed the difference in color (darker yellow). It also made me constipated when I drank less water. I started to drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning & more water to get replenished & 1 cup of tea during mid-morning. Hopefully I will continue to replenish myself into drinking more water cause it's healthier. Thank you..

All of the previous benefits of drinking are still in effect. Energy, better mood, less headaches and normal appetite. The only thing that was different today was that I had a sudden craving for something really savory.

Day 6: (last post was my day 5)
Today I tested the difference between drinking regular bottled water and drinking water from one of our Filters. The water from our filters taste better and I feel go down smoother. When I drink a bottle of water I feel heavy and sluggish. When I drink filtered water I no longer feel thirsty. I drank 90oz worth of water today and I am still in a great mood and not as hungry as I was before.
Hi Dennis--I am so proud of your progress and even more so with your awareness!!! You are really having fun with this contest & I am so glad you are testing your results. Major difference in how you felt when you stopped drinking as much water, huh? It's not until you do that you realize how important water is & how it can change your health. Because you tested this, you know the difference. How many people go through life eating too much, drink energy drinks/soda, & feel like cr*p. They don't even know why.....they're not drinking enough water or any water. This is where your educating them is extremely important. You can make a difference. Also, important that you realized the difference in the QUALITY of bottled water versus our filters!!! it's HUGE!!! This is also another reason people don't drink water because they don't like the taste. Share your experience with everyone.

At around 9:00pm tonight I was getting a massive headache. I didn't get why because I had finished close to 70oz by 12:00pm. I realized it was because I had barely drunk anything else in 9 hours.

Hi Dennis,
DeleteI so look forward to reading your posts! You have had the greatest observations & are learning some valuable things by being in this contest. Hydration affects everything: energy, tissues, muscles, appetite, mood, mental clarity, etc......
When hydrating, you should never feel as if you are forcing anything. Spread out your water intake & remember to eat properly. Your are right--water is not a substitute for food! Filtered water with our filter does taste amazing, I agree! I'm sure you have also noticed that not all bottled water tastes the same...which makes it that much harder to drink. Plus, with a filter, you know exactly the kind of water you are getting...CLEAN! You are almost done with your contest & you're going to earn those $200 travel dollars!!! Yippee! Great job Dennis!
On the next post, please share with everyone how this experience has changed you? What was the most important thing you learned? And how are you going to help others with this new info?
Water is the first thing i think about when i am thirsty..I barely drink soda or orange juice when i am at dinner...I feel great and hopefully even better before the summer..

Last Day: (Hi Elizabeth!!)
What can I say? Entering this contest has helped me feel better than I have in years (4 to be exact. I used to do Karate and I drank a gallon of water a day). I remember now how great I felt when I drank a copious amount of water, daily. I feel that by hydrating, I am giving my body and mind exactly what it needs to functions at it's maximum capability.
However, after comparing water to water or rather, bottled water to our filtered water, I will say that I will no longer drink any other water that is not Alkaline. My body absorbs and responds well to our filtered water and I feel great after. I have learned that water is important but so is the quality of water. My true test is maintaining myself and the amount of water I drink Daily. Also, I tell everyone I know that they need to drink at least half of their body weight to stay properly hydrated.
In closing, I would like to share a conversation I had with one of my friends during the superbowl:
Friend: "What is the matter with you? You look dead. Stop whining!"
Me: "I am dehydrated!"
Friend: "Well drink a cup of water!"
Me: If I am this thirsty it is because I need more than a cup of water!"
Friend: "....Then drink two cups of water, be quite and watch the game"
Me: "I need 100oz of water"
Friend: "What are you, a camel?"
Me: "No, I am just well informed." I win.
Today is my first day drinking so much water...im not a big water fan and always thought that i couldnt drink it without added flavoring. Well today i have broken one of my bad habits and will try to keep this going way past the fourteen day period. Not only do i get to be a healthier person but I have a support system to help me out. Feel great already. (Mentally Positive)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you're participating in the hydration contest even though you have never been a fan of water. Good for you for trying....the benefits definitely outweigh not giving it a shot, right? I think you should read Dennis' comments before our post about what he learned during his hydration contest, if you haven't done so already.

Started drinking at 3:30 p.m. so only needed 55 oz to complete day. Tomorrow i will drink full 110 oz. I went to the bathroom longer and a few more times. Less hungry. It's going to be a challenge drinking all that water, I honestly don't remember the last time I drank more then 2 bottles of water in one day. I drink ice tea, all day everyday. I am Breaking a bad habbit. Looking forward to the challenge and exited to see and record results.
This is going to be a great challenge for you and certainly worth it. You're going to notice in the next 14 days a change in your energy--naturally!!! WoW--2 bottles of water a day is definitely not enough water for you. With this hydration contest, you are going to feel like a 'new' person in so many ways : ) Pay attention to all the little things that you experience that are different from the norm for you. Post daily & on weekends so that you can earn those travel dollars, okay! Happy hydrating!

Day One
Within the course of yesterday (post training) and today (morning) I have fully consumed all 97.5 ounces. After consuming so much in such a little time, a very obvious expected result was using the lavatory multiple times. In addition, I had no appetite at night. Also my morning routine felt a little more fluid, less unbearable. One great result was the exponential energy that resulted from drinking so much. I felt as though my day and morning encountered less fatigue than the previous day.
Hi Jairo,
DeleteGlad to see you are taking part in the hydration contest. When you start drinking more water than you have been used to, you will use the bathroom more often in the beginning & then it levels off : ) Going to the bathroom more frequently ensures that you are eliminating toxins & waste which will help with you having more energy. Being hydrated will help you wake up in the morning with more energy to get going. Definitely beats waking up groggy & wanting to hit the snooze button 10 times. Can't wait to hear what happens to you during the 14 days. Please remember to post daily & on weekends so you can earn your travel dollars!

Day 2
Today was a great day. I have suffered from migraines for about 9-10 months now and have been on medication that is supposed to help but really hasnt. Today was the first day that I actually didnt get one. I got very small hints of it but not like before were I couldn't drive because my eyesight will get blurry. I never knew that drinking water could have been my solution.
I am so happy to hear that Brittany : )) Headaches are a signal of dehydration so migraines 'could' be a result of severe dehydration. Your brain is a muscle and ALL muscles need water. Otherwise they cramp. So when your brain hasn't gotten the necessary water it needs to stay hydrated, you get a headache. Water definitely seems like a better solution than medication. BUT, as with anything, you always want to consult a doctor to make sure the migraines are not occurring because of some other underlying health issue. Just continue, as you have, to pay attention to what happens to you in the next 14 days when you are hydrating yourself. Document all your physical & mental changes & then you could share this "diary" with your doctor : )
Deleteyes definately... when i got hospitalized last year for this same reason they did cat scans blood analysis and they found nothing... the only thing that made me feel better was the IV because I was finally getting water in my system. I do have to admit that before this program I wasn't the best water fan out there.

Yesturday I posted day one but for some reason I dont see it up
Hi Kimberly--maybe you posted on another blog post, I'll check. Water can make you feel amazing. Wait until you get to your 14th day, you're going to feel like a new person : ) Then you'll be able to read all of your posts from the beginning of the contest & see how much progress you made. Have fun with this & share your experience with your friends & family so they can feel great, too!

I forgot to post earlier for day 2 but am posting now because I am up and feeling the effects of drinking so much water! 92 oz is way more than my body is used to drinking, but I feel good.I will post again later for day 3, and I've already started my water consumption for today
Hi Ariana--drinking the water gets easier especially as you get used to it. Just take it slow if you are feeling bloated and work into it. Let me know in your next post if you are noticing any changes that you feel physically/mentally now that you are hydrating yourself for your particular body weight : ) This way I can comment & you can also have a record of your progress. It makes it all worthwhile!

Trainee day 4
ReplyDeleteAnother day of running to the bathroom. But now I feel thirstier than every apparently the more water I drink the more water I want. And another thing I have noticed is that I have 4 days without drinking soda and if I go out to eat I choose juice instead of soda but too scared to choose water because I don't know if it's filtered.
Day 4.

9 glasses of water every day (72 Oz)
I have been drinking 9 glasses of water every day since Feb 9. The best thing that I have experienced is that I am not hungry when it's time to eat; therefore, I eat small portions. I want to lose 20 pounds! Let's see if I can do it by drinking water!!
Hi Carolina--that's so good to hear! You can lose weight buy drinking water but it's not the only thing you need to do : ) Proper portions of food, hydrating yourself & exercise will help you get there quicker. And, you'll be on your way to a healthier you with more energy to get things done! Part of the contest Carolina is to post your experiences daily so you can get the travel dollars. I have only seen this one post : ( Keep up with the contest anyway so that you can gain more.......HEALTH!!! That is priceless : )

I lost 2 lbs.... Yay me lol!
I feel great i actually have alot of energy less eating more energy. Cant be any better. I feel less moody and cranky
Hi Kimberly--so great to hear you're having a wonderful time with the hydration contest. Keeping yourself hydrated will help you not to eat when you normally would "snack" because you're addressing your "thirst" signal instead. Be careful, this is not a reason "not to eat". You should still be eating about 6 small meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism up so you naturally lose weight. This burst of energy that you feel, if you're not eating, is your adrenaline kicking in so you can make it through the day. This can feel amazing but it's not healthy to put your adrenals in overload. You'll eventually burn out & that doesn't feel good :( Keep hydrating & plan & eat your meals & you will lose the 20 pounds you want BUT safely!!! Remember to post daily---I'm reading everyday. You definitely want those travel dollars!
DeleteDay 6
ReplyDeleteToday was a hard day to drink water I wasn't feel so good and drinking water was the last thing I wanted to do but I knew if I didn't I would be feeling worse.
You're doing great Brittany--keep up the goo work! I'm glad to hear that you're getting rid of soda :) Now all you want to think about is limiting your juice intake because that's alot of sugar....expecially if it's store bought & not natural juice made in a juicer. Unfortunately, they add alot of high fructose corn syrup & preservatives that don't really help your body. When going out, just ask if the water is filtered. If it's not, then just ask for bottled. I know it's expensive to buy bottled water but you (and everyone else) do it every single day : ( It can be very expensive if your properly hydrating yourself & buying bottled water. This contest will help you to realize that "filtered" water is not only better for you physically but ALSO financially. Once you experience this, then you can speak to others from experience about the importance of proper hydration. Great job! Very close to earning those travel points so remember to post daily : ) I'm reading every day!
