drink more water everyday

Keeping up with it as of today. big ups.

Because of me having to give plasma to make a buck, I have to increase my water intake so now because of that, I am. And you know, I don’t mind it, so I am trying to make it a serious habit for myself. Just starting it out, but I like it.

Giving up the caffeine has affected my sleeping. I’ve always been a heavy sleeper, so I didn’t think this change in my diet would matter, but now it only takes me about 10 minutes to fall asleep at night! Previously, I would stay up watching TV or reading for 45 minutes to 1 hour before I finally passed out.
I’ve also been feeling less cranky when I wake up in the morning. Who knew Mountain Dew was my enemy all these years?!

I’ve been working on this. I started by eliminating caffeinated beverages. I’ll have about 1 soda a week instead of 1-2 a day. I’m not drinking much more water, but I’m drinking more milk and juice. I can’t believe how quickly I was able to stop craving that Mountain Dew at 10:30 every day. Of course, I had to stop carrying cash so I couldn’t hit the vending machine in the break room, and we only have sodas in the house that I don’t drink (like Dr. Pepper and Diet Pepsi).
I think, though, that I might be eating even more sugary foods than I used to. I’m going to try to start controling that habit next.

I made this a resolution for 2009; I wanted to have clean lungs, no future kidney problems. plus I notice is that I have headaches, I take some water, put on a heat pack, eye mask and lie down in a quiet dark place, things work out in time. So I’m incorporating this in my life.

Drinking water right now :)

really this task is easy for me. the real reason why i want to drink a lot more water….is for a natural cleanse and because i feel that my boyfriend doesn’t drink enough water and maybe if i start drinking more water, he will follow along. most of the time we go out he always drinks juice. I know that juice is much better than soda, but if you drink no water whatsoever i don’t think its very healthy. So i would like to lead by example.

So starting today, i will be to drink tons of water.

I am trying here; I order water as my drink when I am out and about but that’s about the size of it; I am trying to make myself take a sip in the mornings until I get that going. but that is a goal I am actively working on at present.

I’ve gotten into the habit of drinking at least three 24 oz bottles of water a day. I’ve noticed that if I slack on it for even one day I don’t feel right. I’m going to mark this as done and hopefully I’ll keep it up :)

This is actually helping me to remember to drink more water. But I won’t take this off my list until I’ve made it more of a habit. Especially when I’m stressed and busy.
