1 gallon of water a day. That’s not too bad, right? For some reason I thought it was 64 ounces, not 129! When I got to 64 I was surprised at how easy it was. Then I looked at the app I was using and realized I wasn’t even half way yet! Oops!

It takes some focus to get to the gallon and a lot of time in the bathroom!  The main water bottle I used was 25 ounces. So a little more than 5 of them! I usually wake up and drink a 16 ounce glass of water. Then I’d drink another 16 ounces with an Amino mix (not counting towards water intake). I’d usually drink another 20 ounces during my workout. And then a 24 ounce protein shake after (not counting towards my water). So all of that before work meant I went to the bathroom a lot in the morning!!

I tried to at least finish a bottle of water during work and then the second shortly after work.  So that’d be about 86 ounces of the 129. And then just try to finish the rest. Obviously the earlier I finished the better so that I wouldn’t wake up and need to go in the middle of the night.  But that maybe happened a quarter to a third of the time. 

I pretty much eliminated any other liquids from my routine (morning tea, kombucha or sparkling water). Because honestly who had room for any more! The few times we went out I’d have a non-alcoholic drink but I also just drank water out. Those were sometimes hard to estimate a quantity on. So I drank extra just to be safe!  I would sometimes throw some LMNT into the water and counted that towards my gallon.

Besides the constant need to urinate I liked drinking that much water.
