Well, water week wasn't too exciting for me, because here in AZ we drink water a LOT.  It's what i usually drink so nothing changed.  But I thought I would share my thoughts on drinking mostly water lifestyle...one great piece of advice I got years ago and still live by is, everytime someone offers you a drink of water say yes!  whether you are thirsty or not.  Or if they offer you a drink say yes, and ask for water.
 
Here is something I made up when I was working on reducing sugar intake for weight loss.  When I had opportunity to have a sweet drink, I would ask myself this question, "Do I want to chew my sugar, or drink it?"  I love sweet treats!  I would rather drink water (drinks are gone so fast) and then take my time enjoying chewing a sweet treat.  So that keeps me drinking water.  Both drinking and eating sugar is too much, I think.  So I share that with people trying to quit soda pop.
 
I also seldom buy fruit juice.  For one, it's expensive.  I ask myself, "would I rather my kids eat a piece of fruit or chug the fiberless juice?"  I buy the fruit and skip the juice.  Most juice is not 100% and if it is, the sugar is so high that I must serve it with food.  With diabetes in my family I teach my kids to never eat or drink sugary treats on an empty stomach.  Have a protein first and then some sugar is okay.
 
On my trip here in GA, one of the first things we did after we rented the car go buy a case of waters for the car.  It's an AZ habit I developed and I do it everywhere I go.  If you always have waters in the car, you never face temptations when you are out and about.  You'll drink all day and you'll save money and you will tend to drink it if is there.  Also you will tend to eat out less if you always have waters on you and a snack in your purse (Fiber One bars are my favorite.  I always have one on me.  Ask my kids, when they ask for fast food, I just whip that out!  They don't love that about me, yet.)
 
Hope it helps somebody out there!  Long live water!  or rather... Water! and live long!

Water week was an excellent way for me to lose weight yet retain the same energy and utmost enthusiasm for the activities that I participate in. I actually ate a little more than usual this week, but still lost three pounds. Furthermore, while running my daily 3 miles, I averaged about twenty seconds faster per mile this week compared to my previous weeks. Water week also encouraged me to consume my daily vegetables and fruit rather than to drink the typical fruit juice or v8. All in all, water week helped provide a benefit to my life at a negative cost. I saved about $10 from extra drinks that I buy typically buy throughout the week and now I feel more comfortable to rely solely on water as my main beverage.
