Day one of Tracking for LBC

I have to do a three day food log for Erik of everything that enters my mouth including gum, veggies, drink, supplements, etc. This actually really helped me be more aware and not take any BLT's (bites, licks, tastes) because how lame does that look, "One lick off the peanut butter knife"? Right? So it was a perfect day for me. If you're interested in what the food log looks like here it is, copied and pasted:

So that's the basic rundown of my day. Or... not so basic? Water totaled at 22 cups. Twas a good day for me. My butt and hamstrings are super sore so I'm glad tomorrow is a rest day. I'm going to lower the carbs tomorrow since I'm not training.

What counts as "a lot" of water for you? How much do you drink when you are feeling like you didn't get enough that day?

For me a lot of water is anything over 20 cups. Anything from 16-20 is normal or good and anything under 16 cups (a gallon) isn't enough anymore and I will likely feel thirsty throughout the day.
