More Water Please!!!

I vowed to drink more water during this challenge by any means necessary! My goal was to drink 100 oz of water each day. Some days are easy and there are other times when I struggle to even get to half of my goal. Over time I developed a few habits that have helped me along the way and now I’m way more consistent than I’ve ever been. I’ll share some of my water rules/tricks with you. Hopefully it’ll help you increase your water intake and your trips to the bathroom. 🙂

#1: Never drink anything less than 64 oz each day

#2: Drink 2 cups of water for every cup of coffee

-This goes for all other non-water beverages as well!

#3: Start early & finish strong!!!!

-I drink my first cup of water before I leave the house or I drink two cups on my way in to work.

-My mini goal is to have at least 50-64 oz of water down before I leave work. This makes it really easy to finish strong at night.

-Drink at least 1 cup before bed

#4: Get creative!

-Drinking water can get boring so I try to change it up a little bit to make it a easier on myself. I drink ice cold water, chilled water, room temperature water, and green tea without sugar.

-Sometimes just changing how you drink it can make a huge difference as well. I have a cute cup that I carry around with me and a cup at work that I use for my water. I also change it up sometimes and drink out of a cup with a straw. It’s weird, but subtle changes like that can actually make it a little easier to get down.

-My absolute favorite is fruit infused water. It’s a great way to trick your mind into thinking that you’re drinking juice. I’ve tried all types of combinations over time. Some of my favorites are below.

Strawberry/Lemon

Lemon/Mint/Cucumber

Lemon/Mint/Ginger

Peach/Pineapple/Mango

Strawberry/Pineapple

Strawberry/Blackberry/Raspberry/Blueberry
