How to drink more water
It made me
feel better
 "I felt better"
How I did it: After my morning espresso, i just got in the habit of drinking a large glass of water whether i felt thirsty or not. i rarely have a glass of water in the morning but i think adding this ritual into my morning routine sets a good pace of drinking more water throughout the day. I try to drink at least one large cup of water while at work and at least one in the evening before i go to bed. Lessons & tips: i would buy a Sigg water bottle and keep it with me, particularly while i'm driving.

It made me
healthy
How I did it: I started taking water to work and really just forcing myself to drink it. I'd rather drink milk everyday, but water... ugh, it was terrible for me. The more I drank, the more I saw I'd start to want it. Now I request water at places I go eat and it sometimes even replaces my drink completely! My baby, Carlos had gave up drinking soda so he always drinks water. It made me want to try it too and it worked! ;) Read how I did it…

How I did it: I know I need to recycle the bottles! I drink a bottle in the morning and usually add some Crystal Light to it. It helps me drink it. I don't really notice a difference though in my health. Maybe I need to drink more than 1 bottle a day..... Read how I did it…

It made me
How I did it: I started out by just telling myself that for every cup of anything other than water, I would drink two cups of water. If I had a glass of milk, I would drink two glasses of water immediately after. I noticed a difference in the first few days. Your body will thank you for this change. Read how I did it…

Back on track. (For now)

I forgot about this goal for a while, but now that I am trying to lose some weight again, I’ve been drinking much more. I’m currently at about 45-ish ounces a day, hoping to work my way up to 64!

Right now, this goal is getting easier because I’m taking a medication that requires me to drink a glass of water when I take the medicine. Hopefully this will help me get into the habit. I’d like to get a nalgene or sigg water bottle to carry with me, to always have water on me, which would help impulse buys of pop and juice at school.

I dont drink nearly enough water. I am always tired, and I wake up very morning copletely parched. Drinking water is so good for you in so many ways, your blood, skin, and slows the aging process. I need to take better care of myself.

i drank wayyyyyy more then i thought i was supposed to XD …opps. i looked it up and most ppl go by some kind of 8×8 rule which mean 8 cups, 8 times a day. 8 cups of water is not a lot. at all. i pissed like a friggin racehorse yesterday. i had found my jrotc water thingy and i filled it up 5 times. it felt like i was drinking water allll day long. and then i had that brilliant idea to double check how much 8 glasses REALLY was. on top of finding that you don’t have to CHUGG a ton of water, i found out that you need water because you lose it even with something as simple as breathing. thats weird huh?
