I have been really struggling with my water intake and have noticed
that I wake up in the morning with sore muscles (pecs, traps, abs)
like I have been working out...even though I haven't.
Could my lack of water (only about 32 oz a day) be the culprit?

Yup. 32 oz is too low a water intake even if you're not losing weight. Low-carb diets are very diuretic; it's essential to replace the liquids that the diet makes you get rid of. If plain water is hard for you, try herbal teas (except medicinal ones). (The evidence that the good Dr. A. used to prohibit regular herbal teas didn't impress me).

Along with the water you lose go electrolyte minerals, notably magnesium and potassium. You can get potassium through pills or a potassium broth, but you'll probably have to get extra magnesium through pills.

During my weight loss, I had a goal of 100 oz/3 liters of water and herbal tea per day.

If upping your water/herbal tea intake doesn't relieve the soreness entirely, try taking 5 g of glutamine before bed on workout days.

Water, water everywhere.. and nobody's drinking it.

You must drink more water - period. Here's an easy way.. buy a 1 gal jug from your local grocery store. Put it in the fridge overnight to get it nice and cool. The next day, get an 8oz glass and fill it up. Then take a pen and mark the gallon jug's water level. Do this every time u drink some water over the course of the day. By the end of the day, you'll see how much you've consumed.

Make it your goal to drink more water. Keep water with you at all times. In the car. On the way to work and back. At the office. Everywhere. The more exposure you get to water, the more you'll use.

Personally, I work out quite a bit now. This alone has a positive impact on my water intake. I'd guess that I average over 1 gallon a day now. I don't get tired of drinking water as I love the way it refreshes my body. It's like no other drink. Just pure, clean water.

You may try adding a hint of lemon or lime for flavor.

Good luck!

I never really had a water consumption problem before.
I use to be able to consume 64 oz easily in a day.
However, since I have cut out milk, juice, and Diet Pepsi I
have totally lost interest in drinking water. I think I am completely
bored with it. Lemon or lime is not an option....yuck!

So.....
I know I have to drink it and I keep forcing it down but it
takes effort now. The past week I quit trying and ended up
with sore muscles. Thought it might be related (probably is)!

Hopefully it's just an awful phase and my love of water will return.
Until then I will fill up the cup, drink quickly through a straw and
deam of apple juice!!!

Oh well,
