Idea to ensure water consumption

supermom1114

Well I'm breastfeeding my baby so its a big deal to stay hydrated and I got a good tip from another mom on another sites message boards, and its been working great for me! Basically the recommended water intake is 8 8oz glasses right? so thats 64oz... well I 2 liter bottle holds 67.6oz, so instead of refilling glass after glass or bottle after bottle just fill one big 2 L bottle up and keep it with you throughout the day... For some who are always on the move maybe its not possible but I'm a SAHM so yea... but its definitely worth it, you get a good visual on how much you're supposed to drink throughout the day, I know sometimes if I havent drank any in a while I'll look over and think dang I have a lot of water to go so it motivates me to drink some, plus a big ol' 2 L bottle is hard to miss so it reminds you to drink better than a water bottle shoved away in your purse, or worse a glass stored up in the cabinet. Anyways, hope that helps someone out here : )

At work I have a small 8 oz bottle and every hour I refill it. Most days I get at least 6 drank befor I go home!
