I’m trying to drink more water. It would be a New Year’s Resolution, but it is way past the New Year and moving towards mid summer. After the forced pumping of the MRI experience, I started thinking about how much I ask of my body and how rarely I offer it what it really needs. For example, even though I know that our bodies are comprised of mostly water, I never set out to make sure that I get enough. I know that headaches, bad skin, chapped lips, constipation, on and on and on, are all caused by dehydration, but still I don’t make the time to get enough water. It has been suggested that weight problems can be linked to insufficient water too. As a nursing mother, I need even more water than a normal person, and yet I still don’t give myself enough water. On the other hand, I have no problem getting my coffee every morning.
So I am trying to drink AT LEAST one of these bottles of water a day. I fill up the bottle in the morning and carry it around until I finish it.
Here’s to water! Cheers!

I have the same problem! I wish you better luck at the Nalgene tactic… I had the same idea once and just ended up with stronger arms from carrying a full water bottle with me everywhere.

I am going to start drinking water before I eat anything. That would be a good practice to get into. I’m pretty sure that 2 cups of coffee is not hydrating me enough.

Oh God. So much to worry about…. nitrates, hydrogenated oils, and now BPA. There probably is some as both my bottles are most likely from China, plus they are old. Darn it!

Have you tried drinking warm water? Or just have lots of tea always on hand. I also drink warm water with a bit of lemon juice in it. I get crazy thirsty while I’m teaching. Maybe because I am running my mouth nervously for 6 hours at a time while sweating profusely.
