I try to get in at least a gallon a day. Strangely enough,I diet religously,never miss a workout,sleep well,but water intake is the toughest thing for me to do.................you would think it would be the easiest!!!  |

Guys, if Fitdiva is like me... she wont no about gallons ;D ... so here is something to translate Gallons (imperial) into Liters (Metric): 1 liter = 0.264 gallon And in my case... water intake is also the toughest part of my bodybuilding lifestyle (excepted tanning  ) but i alway try to drink 3 liters... and i will raise my average to 5-6 liters 6-8 weeks before a contest. |

Thanks for clarifying the metric conversion Intensity, cause I would have had to do a conversion online to figure things out. I think people must think I am crazy at work as I am constantly using the washroom. They probably think I have irritable bowel syndrome or something  I have to say this is one of the things I hate is constantly having to use the washroom (especially in public facilities). It's all a give to get though! |

Making a conscience effort to increase water intake for my contests.
So far so good but I`m living in the bathroom.
May have to put a pillow and blanket in the tub so I won`t have to walk so far in the middle of the night!! LOL
