My water tip!

Since I am on Weight Watchers, I need to drink a minimum of 48 ounces of water per day (I make my minimum 64ounces.) I have come up with a way for me to get all of my water in for the day. I have been having a lot of trouble finishing my water daily, so it was imperative that I set something up. I am also quite the pop addict but have somehow gotten myself down to 1 (sometimes 2) pops per day.
What I do is this:
I have a 32 ounce nalgene bottle that I fill up with water. I make sure I drink one of these before I can have a pop. So, ideally, I would have my first 32oz gone before lunch time so I don't have to go the whole afternoon without my beloved caffeine! It makes it a lot easier to finish the first one knowing once it's gone I can have a can of pop. It also makes it easier to drink the second one knowing that's all I have to drink for the day. When I do this successfully, I usually drink more than my 64oz for the day because I don't want pop at the end of the night, so i go right for the bottle. Of water, that is! ;-)

That's a great strategy! I usually have 16-24 oz before work. Then I make sure that I drink a whole nalgene bottle before lunch too, and then one after lunch at work. Once I get home I fill it up again for school or working out. I usually get in about 80-100 oz in a day! But I also have never been a regular pop drinker--maybe out to eat or at a BBQ, but hardly at all. MAYBE once a week... I also use the little crystal light packs sometimes with supper to change it up....I like the orange sunrise the best!
