Well, I am still rocking the week 2 habit, and not doing so well on the week 1. Today I’ve gotten 24 oz in so far, though.

I’m running behind on my water today, but I’ll catch up. My food free hour before bed isn’t working out so well. The last two nights I’ve woken up with a severely growling pouch in the middle of the night. Last night I ended up having to get up and eat a snack. Not good as my ability to make wise choices goes out the window and I tend to grab whatever is quick and easy. Plus, I end up not sleeping well the rest of the night.

I’m glad you are recognizing what you need to do for yourself! No challenge is worth going through tummy drama!
So when you report back from now on, why don’t you just point out that that particular habit doesn’t work for you so you can still be accountable (and also that lets others know to be on the lookout for if it doesn’t work for them too.)

I didn’t drink often enough after my early check in yesterday. I got to about 32 without caffeine and 64 total (hence, my problem hitting 72. the devil caffeine).
I stopped eating. I should have stopped sooner. I “fixed” it by staying up later than I should have. One bad habit swapped for another. Duh.

I’ll tell you what I do in regards to coffee/caffeine. Take it or leave it, your choice.
When I find my consumption is imbalanced OR my consumption of caffeinated beverages is getting in the way of my water consumption, I put a price on my coffee. (I may have shared this before.) I “pay” for my coffee with water. So maybe one cup of coffee costs 16.9 oz. water. (That’s where I started out.) The trick is not to buy coffee on “credit.” Pay for it up-front. Drink your water first. Do coffee second.
The caveat is that when you are better hydrated that may actually affect your craving for coffee – which could be good or bad, depending on how you look at it.
