What's your water secret?

I drink cold filtered water, and my first 24 ounces goes into my body in the morning before a bite of anything else. After that I drink 16 ounce glasses until I've consumed between 12-16 cups for the day. I just do it. My body needs it and DOESN'T need the other crap I used to drink, so. I have also learned not to drink anything with my meals, not even water.

When I first started the water drinking several years ago, I was not fond of it, but like many other things that are good for you, if you stick with it, it becomes an enjoyable habit.

I make myself gulp down a cup or two of water before I can have the drink I really want. I'll stand at the fridge or water cooler and do it there before I grab a flavored drink and head back to my couch/desk.

I'm lucky that I do enjoy drinking water, have never liked to add anything. If i'm at home all day I have a tendency not to drink enough but try to carry a water bottle around with me everywhere i go.
I always have a glass of water before i eat and whilst at work I just constantly refill my water bottle from the water fountain as the vending machine tea is horrible.
I think it will probably just become a habit, i used to drink bottles and bottles of soda but just completely stopped 2 years ago and just replaced it with water. I always drink at least two bottles whilst working out at the gym as well

I love water, it's really the only thing I drink aside from unsweetened teas. Despite that though, I still had a hard time taking it in because I only remembered to drink when I felt thirsty.

Then I purchased a high quality sports bottle - 18/8 stainless steel with a bright orange, soft, rubberized straw spout. It holds 3.5 cups of water so I aim to refill it about 3 times a day.
I carry this bottle with me everywhere and I feel naked without it, like being attached to a cell phone. The bright orange spout catches my eye and reminds me to drink; it's also soft and easy to use while I drive and work out. Refilling it 3 times a day is less daunting and easier to keep track of than individualized glasses.

I keep a one gallon jug at my desk so I have the water handy when it gets busy at work. Just take the jug home and refill it. Put it back in the car as so as youll it so you don't forget it.

Never used to drink water at all now it's all I drink except fruit/herbal/rooibos tea.

Every time I fill my glass up at the sink, I drink a glass down in one before taking a full glass back to my desk. If I've looked at my glass and it's empty i'm probably thirsty and could therefore drink a whole glass anyway!
