How do you get all your water in for the day?

I drink a combination of plain water (keep a water bottle on my desk, nice and handy ) and herbal tea. I also set myself water goals throughout the day :drinker:

i drink about 16 cups a day. about 6 of those cups i splash some 0 cal mio in.

Or you can drink some of that SobeLife Water. It is good and it's 0 calories. Ill drink that if i really need some flavor.

I drink from 1 liter bottles of water. One bottle = 4 cups, so to get in 8 cups you only have to drink 2 bottles. So much easier than constantly refilling small bottles. I drink at least 3 one liter bottles a day.

open mouth, insert water

I have a 32 oz stainless steel water bottle with an awesomely proportioned mouth area to drink from.

In the morning I take medicine and have breakfast, then stand still and guzzle the entire bottle. That's 4 cups.

I continue to drink 2 more bottles sporadically throughout the day.

At 5-6 I have dinner, and guzzle my last bottle sometime after that but before bed.

This does not include coconut milk, coffee, milk milk, or other things I drink. I take about 12-16 cups of water in a day. I don't necessarily even like water, either! I just know it REALLY helps keep me full, it flushes out toxins and sodium in case I get 'up there' in values, and I enjoy being able to log so much of it. The pros outweigh the con of flavor.

Sometimes I find that I've drank more than 8 8 ounces of water a day. At first you'll pee...A LOT. Then you're body will get used to it and you won't have to pee so much. I have a 32 oz nalgene, the kind with the smaller opening, I don't like the bigger opening ones. The less chance to spill more things on me in a day the better. I fill the bottle with water and keep it on me at all times. I also buy the 44 packs of crystal light at Costco. I use one packet per 32 oz water bottle. I like just a little flavor. I think those packets are too overwhelming for how much water they say to use.

I drink most of my water at work because well, I'm at work at a desk and have nothing better to do. I try to drink at least one and half of the water bottles before I leave work for the day. Which is 6 glasses of water. With the crystal light packets it's easy peasy. I can easily drink 3 32 oz. water bottles a day (I'm not good at logging my water) One bottle is 4 8 ounce "servings" of water. It doesn't seem so daunting that way either. 2 water bottles a day and you're done.

Also, I buy a little carabeaner (I have NO idea how to spell that) for $1 and attach to the loop on the lid-if you get a nalgene you'll know what I'm talking about. Then, I can just clip it to stuff like my bag Hope that helps! Sorry if my spelling is horrendous, i'm not wearing my glasses.

Orally. Lol.

Seriously though, since I'm at work for the bulk of my day, I constantly refill a water bottle from the water cooler throughout the day. Whenever I deal with such aggravatingly charming clients, I take a break and drink some water...which is often. Then, when I gotta piss, I'm usually done with a bottle or two. Then I refill and repeat.

you shouldn't count coffee or tea as your "water" for the day. both are dehydrating. (a good friend of mine ended up in the hospital after only drinking tea all day in intense heat - the EMS guys were pretty firm with her that tea doesn't count as water- and she spent 3 days there undergoing tests - $$$$)

i like room temperature water. i fill up a glass first thing in the morning and drink that. I try to always have the glass full and if i go out, i take a stainless steel bottle with me filled with water. (try not to use those plastic bottles). i also like perrier with a twist of lemon with my meals.

I drink 32 oz before lunch time, then 32 oz before it's time to clock out for the day. I'm in AZ, so adding an additional 2-4 cups before bedtime is beneficial for me since it is so hot out here.

Because my goal is to do at least 10,000 steps per day, sometimes I use a water bottle that is only 16 oz. And I go to fill it up at the cooler that is farthest away from me.

I'm not a big water person, but 207 seems so much closer when I choose water over anything else. I suggest taking your eyes off of the drink and onto your goal... ~pictures a person drinking water with a mean scowl on his/her face. His/Her eyes are focused intently on his/her goal. He/She isn't tasting the water, they are tasting that goal and how close they are to it.~

Do Whatever it takes! YOU CAN DO IT!

8 glasses would be nice some days...usually at the steel mill i drink around 2gal. of water per day...and it still doesnt seem like its enough.

I have a 26oz water bottle In the Am I drink half then the other with lunch. Then I refill it I drink half before my afternoon snack and then I finish it off with dinner. Then I refill it and usually chug it while getting ready for bed.

I have a 20oz water bottle on my desk and make myself drink 2 bottles before lunch (and my can of Pepsi Max) I won't leave until I've drunk that. Same before I leave. I can drink more but I have to have those 2.

Ive had days where I chug it because I still have most of my bottle left but I do it. That way I have at least 2.4L a day and everything's gravy!

i don't count. but i find in winter i don't drink anywhere near 8 cups a day. but in summer, probably easily.

in summer i have a glass first thing in the morning when i wake, at the gym probably 2-3 cups (morning gym), a cup with lunch and a cup with tea and a cup before i go to bed, i always have a cup near my bed in summer because i wake thirsty in the night. in summer i find it easy, winter, alot of my water comes from tea and coffee... hopefully once summer hits, it'll make all the difference to kick start me.

You dont need to drink 8 cups of water a day. Why are people still so obsessed with this 8 cups of water stuff?!

Its 8 cups of FLUID a day. Doesn't have to be water. Doesn't even have to be in the form of liquid. Fruit and veg contain plenty of water. Tea and coffee hydrate you as well, im living proof of this. There are days when i only drink tea and/or coffee, and i feel great! Sure, they may not hydrate you as much as water, they say 75% as much, but its still 75% more hydration than if you hadnt drank it at all.

People who say they feel better after they started drinking more water are either experiencing a placebo effect, or they weren't getting enough fluid in their diet before that.

Don't obsess about actual water!
