Now lets be real... drinking water is kinda hard but not really. The part you have to get used to is having to get up and pee every 30 mins, at least I do. Maybe I have a bladder of a 2 year old, but this is going to take some getting used to!
I did find an article on SparkPeople about tips to help you drink the water. Hope this will help anyone that might be reading this!
A couple of the tips that I am using are:
3. Sip Up: (using a water bottle with a straw or some straws in a cup to help you sip on water) I have the super cool Camelbak water bottle that has the straw inside, and sometimes I do get distracted biting down on the mouth piece and drink the whole bottle! So I definitely suggest using this trick!
5. Drink water and drive: (keep your water bottle next to you when drive so its always there and easy for you to drink) :) My water bottle is always with me its just remembering to drink it thats my problem.
9. Pace yourself
Holding (and drinking from) a cup of water will help you pace yourself at social events, parties and dinners that offer tempting food and drink. Try drinking a cup of water between bites of the calorie abomination you're faced with. It is hard to eat an entire piece of cake if you have to drink a glass of water between every single bite! To keep the wine, beer, or liquor from ruining your calorie count, drink a cup of water for every glass of alcohol you consume. (I’m a wine drinker, so I fill up my wine glass with water every time I empty it of wine.) Not only does this help to limit your consumption, but it helps counteract alcohol’s dehydrating effects. And when you have a glass in hand—no matter what's in it—you won't be bombarded with more drink offers in the meantime.
I haven't really tried 9 yet but with the 4th of July coming up it seems like the perfect time to try it!
So my final thought for right now is...
WATER! WATER! WATER!
