drink 2 litres of water a day

:( I didn’t I do it today….Infact I didn’t do anything…no vitamins, no routine, no cleaning my teeth, or getting dressed even! and all because last night I stayed at my boyfriends house. We went out to dinner, I even had the vitamins in my bag but just forgot because the ‘routine’ was different and the battery on my palm had run out….Then when I get back to his house, I couldn’t find the toothbrush I keep there! and then…this morning we had a row and I left his house, came home and was so upset I stayed in my dressing gown and just read. I had no motivation to do the routine at all. It seems if I don’t start or end it well, I don’t do anything. I was doing so well too (see my other posts)......oh well, start afresh tomorrow…

Day 2 – I did it again! I drank it! It’s weird, it doesn’t even seems like enough yet days sometimes go by when (apart from tea and coffee) I don’t drink any pure water at all! My tips for everyone else are as follows (know I’ve only done it twice – but even this is an achievment, believe me!)

1. – measure it out into a jug that holds exactly 2 litres
2. – make sure it is room temperature – so much easier to drink (for me anyway)
3. Have a glass next to the jug with which to pour and have a small bottle that you fill from the jug if you have to go out somewhere.

(previously I used to just have a 2 litre bottle and take that out with me but it was heavy and hurt my shoulders thus creating another problem lol This may seem like detailed analysis for how to drink 2 litres of water but it seems like an easy thing yet a hard thing when we come to do it. I believe its all in analysing why we ‘don’t bother’. ie. we need to make it easy to do something and also easy to see what we’ve achieved so we can feel motivated.

Day 2 – Have measured out the 2 litres ready for today. Good goood start!

I did it!!! I drank 2 litres!!! really easily too!!! I can’t believe it. My measuring theory worked. I measured it out into a jug, which strangely held EXACTLY 2 litres. I just kept pouring from the jug into a pint glass. The water was not too cold, so was easy to drink! I am very chuffed with myself. I’m going to start the day with a jug of 2 litres and use that all day. Hey I might even have another glass before I go to bed, and that’ll be MORE than 2 litres!

Im not doing too well at this. I still haven’t been measuring it out. Think thats gonna be my key. tomorrow I WILL measure it out! or go to lidls and buy a few 2 litre bottles

Day 1 and Ive only had one little glass of water. Its like I cant do it unless I measure it out before hand. like I HAVE to know otherwise I don’t bother. Im thinking of getting one of those platapus pipe things that you wear on your back. You can get 2 litre ones so perhaps that will remind me and then I can wear it wherever I go. Anyone think this is a good idea, bad idea?
