My Newest Trick

NoraEE

I've been having a hard time getting my 8 cups of water in every day. I usually drink 4 with lemon first thing in the morning, but then once I get to work I just sit with my coffee and don't do any more hydrating.

This week I brought my favorite glass from home and a little baggie of lemon slices in to work with my lunch. Now I'm drinking water all day! It's a nice little piece of home at my desk, and it's helping me stay healthy to boot!

Anyone else finding little tricks to make your plan easier?

Cool idea! I have two 32 oz flip top Rubbermaid bottles, I take one out of the fridge filled and drink till done, refill, put back in the fridge and take the other one. When done, I have a Crystal Light as a treat.

I do something similar - I brought my favorite mug to work. I drink decaf hot tea all day. It works!

I think water is really a challenge............I try to supplement de-caf hot tea.

I have a Dasani 33.8 oz water bottle. Fill it up all day long from the water fountain at work. Leave it in the car so I will have water on the way to work.

I had an awesome 40oz water bottle with my sorority logo on it and at night I would fill it half way with ice & put it in the freezer, then wake and fill it the rest with water and drink that all day, refilling it when I went to work out so I was getting in 80oz a day. But a couple of days ago I opened the freezer to grab it and I guess it was cramed bc my water bottle fell out and smashed

Worked great while it lasted! Now I've just got to go get another water bottle.

I'm OCD really really bad. I have a 17 oz Nalgene bottle at my desk and I drink one full bottle per hour. Its a weird balance thing that I HAVE to do or the world will end.

I put about 8 ounces of diet green tea into my 32 ounce cup and fill it the rest of the way with water. It still has great flavor and isn't so sickeningly sweet! Try it with any diet beverage to avoid the extra calories.

Be careful about leaving you water bottle in your car, especially when it is hot outside. (Not sure if it matters when it is cold.) Research has shown that it is linked to Breast Cancer.

BPA is the chemical that is released from alot of plactic products when they get hot. Camelbak has a huge variety of BPA water bottles. Here is a link. http://www.camelbak.com/index.cfm
