Water, water and MORE water...

[BeachBish 123]

Hi Everyone,

Seems hard to get in the total of 64 oz. a day, regardless of what I add and flavor with.

I've tried starting early am, adding Vitamin Water, adding Crystal Light, etc. etc....

Does anyone else have this issue and if so can you share your tips??

Thank you!

I have a drinking bottle I got from Wall-Mart and it holds 8 glasses of Water, I put crystal light in mine and keep it with me all the time putting ice as I go. I start first thing in the morning and don't stop till around dinner, that is when I'm normally empty. I just constantly keep drinking on it. Sometimes I have to admit I don't get in all in but for the most part I do, and I don't worry about the days I don't.

PS>> I use the crystal light that has energy I don't know if that make a difference or not, but it does provide more energy.

I don't always use 'water' to get my Water in. Sometimes I use Decaf coffee or diet decaf tea. I know water is the best but I definitely like to switch it up some.

Don't have any tips! I try to drink my Water (etc), but if I don't get the proper amount in then I don't get it in. I figure it's like watching your food intake, sometimes thats not perfect either.

I too have a bigger jug (32 oz) that I fill 2x a day.. I feel like I sip all day long... but, try your best to get it in... because it could lead to other issues if you don't...like Constipation

I have a 22oz container that i fill 3x a day. After Breakfast i will drink Water or mio i try to finish the whole thing before lunch. Then eat lunch, then after another container before dinner. After dinner i usually start craving a sweet snack and i will sometimes eat a popsicle slushie , then finish a third container, usually the Water keeps me full in between meals.

I wait until my stomach growls to eat now . If its not growling and i "think" im hungry i usually drink water and that does the trick

I try to keep a jug of Water with me, and give myself small goals throughout the day. Sometimes I'll say I won't talk to my coworkers unless I drink __ sips of water first or I can't get up from my desk to make copies/see a PT (I'm a counselor) until half of my water is done. Little competitions like that, because it's motivating to me. At first it was hard because I used to only like cold water, but once you get it in, it's like your body craves it. I can drink room temp water now, and usually "hunger" is really thirst. Good luck!!
