On my journey to becoming fit and fabulous I realized that there are a variety of personal health habits that I should adopt. Number one on my list is drink more water.
Sigh...
Why oh why is it so hard to accomplish this task? There have been times that I have diligently gotten my two litres per day for months at a time. These days I struggle drinking one glass per day. When I was working it was easy to put three water bottles on my desk to monitor my daily consumption. I was there eight hours of the day and by the end of the day they'd be gone. Easy peasy! Now I am lucky to remember where I put my darn glass and that I even had a glass to start with.
I know intellectually how good water is for your health and how it contributes to weight loss. Physically I just cannot get the stuff down. According to a recent magazine article I read, the ideal amount of water a person should drink is 15 mL (1/2 oz) per pound of body weight. I'm not sure exactly how much I weigh, but a ballpark guess would be about 190lbs. Therefore I should be drinking 2.85 litres of water per day.
Yikes!
How do you manage to get your water everyday? Any tips?
Crystal Light? Water with flavour!!
