A gallon a day

Those of you who read trainer momma know that advocates drinking a gallon of water a day.   I've never done that because I thought it was too much water.  I've been good at drinking 64 ounces a day (the recommended 8 8ounce glasses of water thing).  Because I am pregnant I figured I could probably use more water, so I tried drinking a gallon of water on Wednesday.  It was a success!  And... I did it again yesterday.  Short term effects are okay-I do feel more hydrated and have fewer headaches, but I hate going to the bathroom every twenty minutes.  If I don't I may very well have an accident.  But,  guess in the long run, I will benefit because of doing this, so I'm going to continue.  Luckily I have a 32 ounce water bottle, so if I fill that 4 times during the day and drink them all, I will have drunk a gallon.  My husband laughs at me when I have to go to the bathroom 2 times right before bed, but when you combine being pregnant and trying to finish your last 32 ounce, that can happen to a girl. 

Anyhow, I'm thinkin I like this challenge, and I will continue to do it.  Who else around here is drinking a gallon a day?  How has it helped you?
