I hate that sometimes I miss some of the blogs when there is more than one post that day. That is how I missed out on Tina's healthy challenge.
I already pay myself $1 to walk a mile on my treadmill, but I see some of the gals are paying themselves to drink a lot of water, which is so good for you. I am really convinced that I am so healthy for my age because I never drink coffee, tea, soft drinks, just water. (Ok at night I do have cocktails)
So I am going to start measuring my water intake and aim for 2 quarts a day. I think you are supposed to drink 8, 8ounce glasses a day and that is 2 quarts. Am I right??
Anyway, I just got out a 2 quart container and filled it with water. Of course I will drink over ice, so I will probably get more than 2 quarts if I drink it all. I will pay myself $1 for that also.

my dad's theory is that if you drink as much water as 'they' say you should, you wind up going to the bathroom so often that 'they' will now say you have bladder issues *g*
and yes, 8 8oz glasses = 2 quarts. seems like a lot, but get in 2 with every meal and suddenly you're almost done!

The good new? I lost 5 lbs just because I drink the extra water.

Nowadays, I don't keep any liquids next to my computer stuff.... It was an embarrassing lesson that involved a now-defunct laptop and a can of soda....

BA, you should get one of those helmets with the sippy straws *g* or at least a water bottle with a top, dude.

The only downside is that I'll actually look even dorkier than I already do.
