Water intake...how do you constantly drink?!

I also struggle with this. After I drink my coffee in the morning (which I totally look forward to) the thought of actually walking to the drinking fountain to fill up my cup sounds horrible. And it's like 10 feet away from my desk. LAZY. I'll be looking forward to reading some tips from others who aren't lazy like me!

I do good at work by thinking of going for a walk to the kitchen is a reward for drinking all of my water. (Gives me an excuse to get up from my desk and walk around.) I also learned that a refillable water bottle with a straw works best for me than having a pour spout. I also use a 20 ounce bottle instead of a bigger one because if the water gets to room temp I'm less likely to drink it.
If I'm traveling I fill two bottles up for a total of 52 ounces and fill the bigger one with more ice so when it's time to drink that one it's still cold. I've learned if i see it/have it I'll drink it. I guess I feel bad for wasting it. I also think it helps to just get in the habit so once you start it gets easier.

I work for a Water and Air Filtration Company, so our water is amazingly good which makes it easier to drink. But what I do is fill my cup as soon as I get to my desk in the morning. That way I don't fall into the lazy trap. I also fill it each time I get up to use the bathroom. Since I drink so much, I end up having to pee quite often and can usually get in 9-11 glasses while at work.
I also make sure and use a big cup, the one I have holds almost 20oz of water.

I keep a Brita water bottle on my desk, it helps me drink more water because the water at work (different city) is just nasty. I agree - having it cold is much better. You might try lemon or lime slices in your water. Anything to get into the habit.

I make sure I keep a 1L bottle where I can see it all day, I find that I drink it without even noticing 'cause its there right in front of me. I drink fruity tea too, which is caffeine free but has some flavour to it.(:

I keep a water bottle by me at all times. I don't use big ones though, because I find those discouraging. They make me feel like no matter how much I drink, I'll never get done. So I just use a regular 16.9 ounce water bottle. I make sure it's ice cold, because I refuse to drink anything that is warm. If it doesn't make me cold while drinking it, it isn't cold enough. I could seriously be dying of dehydration, but would still refuse lukewarm water. It's nasty. Sometimes if I'm having a hard time getting all my water for the day in, I will stick a lemon slice or two in there. It gives it a nice flavor, which motivates me to drink more. Usually though, I get at least half of my water intake while I work out. I chug two glasses before, and by the time I'm done I'm thirsty enough for two more.

I have a quart bottle on my desk that I fill every morning and challenge myself to drink it by 10:00 a.m. I usually end up finishing it before then, and then refill. Sometimes I finish that one by the end of the day, sometimes not. I find it's easier for me to drink the second one if it has some Crystal Light in it.

I have trouble with this. I just forget that Im thirsty because Im concentrating on something. (I forget to eat too sometimes. Im that bad!)
What has been helping is I got one of those reusable cups with a lid and straw, and a container of water with a spout to dispense to put in my fridge. That way I always have cold water. However... its the fact that I simply need to remember to actually go refill the cup...
Maybe I should try an alarm that goes off every hour, and I have to train myself to stop what Im doing and fill that cup? (Knowing me Ill ignore the alarm cause Im in the middle of something then completely forget...)

I also drink a glass before eating lunch and dinner, so that helps with the intake too.

Make it fun... When I'm working, I use a cup with a straw (I have a clear Starbucks glass that holds 3 glasses of water). If I have water on my desk with a straw, it makes it easier for me to drink while I'm working. My mom was having trouble remembering to drink water (she likes it, she just gets busy and forgets) so she got a cute water bottle that makes it more interesting and is a visual reminder to drink water. My friend has a water bottle that has a digital monitor which keeps track of how much water you put in, how much you drank for the day, how far you are from your goal, etc. It makes it exciting to drink!

That is a great idea! if its cute ill drink out of it HAHA! so girly I need one of those cups ur friend has! that would be so awesome!!!

I think she got it from Target.

I always have two 20oz water bottles with me I fill up both as soon as I get to work and then put one on my desk and the other in the fridge to stay cool. I drink the first one, refill it, put in the fridge and pull out the cold one. It's a constant system. I get away from my desk and I get to stare out the window for 30 blissful seconds while waiting to fill my empty water bottle! I also started out with flavored water and then eventually went off of that too. Good luck!!
