drink more water

Not the one I’m seeing, technically, since he was away that day, but it’s a family-based chiropractic, so it doesn’t matter.

So I was told to drink more water, basically. Good enough a reminder as any for me.

For me…

At home, filling a very large glass seems to work best.

At board game night, bringing my own high-grade plastic mug seems to work best.

When exercising, the gallon jug seems to work best.

It has also helped to have fresh water packed in the trunk of my car.

Once again, it’s a bit easier to gage what’s going in by what’s coming out.

I forgot to bring my gallon jug when I went with the fam to the pool at the gym today, but I drank at the water fountains and I am drinking up now that I am home.

but getting back into the swing of things. It really helps, it seems, to drink periodically throughout the day, rather than try to drink a lot at one sitting.

Fell behind on this one.

I found that it really helps me to pace myself. If I measure things by the, erm, waste outcome, it’s the only way I can stay consistent—just glug, glug, glug (or sip, sip, sip) all day long.

I went to see my physician for a course of antibiotics since I’d been sick for three weeks.

He said I should take in a lot of fluids, and that steam therapy might help.

Naturally, water is the key element here ;)

I’m really falling down on this goal right now.

But I’ve managed to put some good things into place, and expect to get back on track.

All the more reason to drink more water—I hope I can be as good about this being sick and exercising a little less as I have been exercising a lot and working down a gallon of water as I go.

After some time at the gym, I did a few groceries—and had to drink deeply from that jug so I could refill it again there (30 cents/gallon).
