    I have had trouble with this too. I am a teacher and in all of my "spare time" I work at Starbucks, so I usually bring my half gallon jug to work with me and fill it up there. The tap water where I live is just like drinking out of a swimming pool. Otherwise I try to buy the gallon jugs from Walmart for about 60 cents.

    I saw a post somewhere else on here that I found interesting. Make a game out of it. Put 8 rubber bands on one wrist and as you drink a glass of water remove one of them. Try to get them all off by the end of the day. It will serve as a constant reminder that you need to drink.

    I find it's easier to drink more water when it's room temp instead of straight from the water cooler and cold.

    I love sparkle ice water... comes in several different flavors and no calories or sugar and it has a fizz to it.. but can only find it in about 3 stores where i live.

    I use to have the worst time drinking water! I downloaded the waterlogged app on the iphone and I love being able to visually see how much I have drank during that day because if I'm not tracking it then I forget! I drink about 120-150oz a day. Which is a bit more then I should be drinking. I should be drinking about 110oz a day. I keep a 25oz (750ml) bottle with me at all times. I put a quarter of a lemon in at the beginning of the day and it last me until my last bottle at night. I also make it a competition with my husband on who can reach their goal amount of water first. :)

    I'm on day 3 of 114oz and I still have to go at least 4 times an hour. Hopefully it does ease up!

    This was always my problem.....my classes got additional bathroom breaks when I first started with the water. I do 64 oz during ths school day and anything extra is at the gym to keep myself hydrated. It seems to be better now. I only have to go when they take the scheduled breaks am/pm.
