Just a question...I don't drink enough water...It seem that i get to busy during the day to drink anything....any thoughts on helping me get on track with the H20 drinking...?

    Get one of those CamelBak things and wear it everywhere; you'll never need to take time searching for water.

    I work in a bar and I have started keeping MiO behind the bar because it encourages me to drink more water and less soda while I'm working. I would carry a stainless steel (or BPA-free plastic, or whatever) water bottle with you, and maybe a bottle of MiO, and see if that helps. I have a hard time drinking plain water.

    Don't stress about drinking more water. If your body needs it, it will let you know in the form of thirst.

    Besides, drinking 8 glasses a day is a myth: http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/2012/06/08/water-eight-glasses-myth.html

    I have a water bottle that has the ounces marked on the side. I fill up 16 oz, add ice, and basically make myself drink it before breakfest. I do the same before lunch and dinner. If I don't do this I maybe drink 2 glasses a day. Maybe it will work for you :)

    I'm sure you have time to at least eat! Like NM said, try drinking 16oz with pretty much every meal.

    set an alarm/reminder on your phone, computer, or clock and every hour drink a 6oz glass. If you do that for 12 hours out of the day you will get 72oz.

    Crystal light! I have to be "thirsty" to drink plain water. Otherwise, I won't drink it unless I force myself. Did 12 cups today, that's rare! Ha..But seriously crystal light makes it go down easier! You won't even know you're drinking water. They make "to go" packets too!

    Here's a great 1-2 punch:

    Buy a reusable water bottle (like a Klean Kanteen or Camelbak). Then download an app on your phone to track your water intake (there are a few out there). You can track how much you've drank and set alarms to remind you to have a glass throughout the day.
