for those of you who want tips on how to drink more water, i googled and found a great site from wikihow – http://www.wikihow.com/Drink-More-Water-Everyday

some highlights that i found helpful are:
-Drinking a full glass of water first thing in the morning helps wake the body up. So kick-start your day with water!
-Water helps you look good. By flushing out toxins and impurities, water can make your skin clearer, smoother and younger looking.
-Drinking water helps you control hunger. Drink a large glass of ice water 20 minutes before meals. The cold causes your stomach to shrink somewhat, which will make you feel full more rapidly.
-Try setting a glass of water near where you are, for example if you’re sitting at a computer for a long period of time. Sometimes, you will automatically drink without realizing it. Your mind knows when you’re thirsty, even if you don’t.
