Getting In Enough Water

Members Were Sparked

I have a plastic cup I've marked with the 1c line and 2c line. I fill it up before my 3 major meals and make sure I drink 1c before eating and that the 2nd is gone when I'm done. That's 6c already.

I have a 2 cup water bottle that goes with me everywhere. before I go to work, I drink a full bottle at work in the morning. Fill 'er up again for the afternoon, and then again when I get home. 8 cups..done! But then I still have more when I come back from my walk witht he dog. Its not that hard when you put your mind to it. Oh yeah....I also ad Crystal Light to it since I hate plain water.

Great idea I think I will try that too! The water is so much help.

reaching your H2O goals

Getting enough water in helps me stay hydrated and feeling better in every way. When I don't drink enough water, I feel bloated and "blah". SOO, in order to make sure I get a good start on getting in enough water in a day, I fill up a large water bottle the night before (atleast 16 oz is what I do) and stick it beside my bed. In the morning, the first thing I do is drink the water...

MORE INFORMATION:
if you don't like room temp water you could freeze it first and then sit it by your bed so that in morning it should still be a little chilled.

Right container

I've always struggled getting in enough water. A friend said she was getting me a water bottle. I don't know what is about the gift but I love my fancy purple bottle. Now I get in my water and I don't think about it. My advice, get a bottle you love.

Exercise first thing in the morning

Getting up at 4:30 and getting my exercise done before I am awake enough to make excuses works for me!
