According to About.com, 4 hours ago

A person who is 105 pounds and exercises for 90 minutes every day,
is not pregnant or breastfeeding, does not live at a high altitude or in a dry climate, drinks 0 alcoholic drinks, and is not sick with fever or diarrhea should have:

61.5 ounces of water today, or 1.8 liters.

And, “If you eat a healthy diet, about 20 percent of your water may come from the foods you eat. If you eat a healthy diet you can drink 49.2 ounces of water today, or 1.5 liters.”

So that is what I will aim for, 50-60 ounces of water per day, or 3 bottlefuls.

ugh. 1 day ago

I did pretty well a couple weeks ago and drank nearly 5 bottles of water per day. It was /amazing/ because my acne cleared up so fast as well. But I’ve slowed back down to not drinking water again when my period started, lol. Hopefully I’ll pick the habit back up cause I admit it was addicting.

1 cup at work... 1 day ago

1 cup of tea at work

Plus I carry a bottle with me through all my classes because you never know when shouting at children or laughing at their funny antics will get a bit too much :).

1 cup of water when I get in- daily ritual so far.

Ben makes me drink tea by the bucketload now in the evening which is probably keeping me awake. He’s like my gran. Typical Brit. ‘Cuppa tea will make it all right’. But I’m getting better at drinking water. As shown by the cup on my side that is now half empty (or half full depending on your perspective).

Super tool! 1 day ago

I found this awesome gadget to add to my Google sidebar. It pops up every 60 minutes and makes the sound of water. It says “it’s time to take a gulp of water”. So once every hour I get reminded to drink a glass of water. It is great because I’d have problems trying to remember on my own.

Random... 2 days ago

All part of healthy living, I suppose. I am growing to like drinking water- from a tap, from glass, from bottle… previously I could ONLY drink it from a bottle.

If I’ve drunk enough my eyes feel sparkley LOL. A habit I’d like to get into.
