Drinking Water Tips!

Fantastic Friday Tips is where I'm going to start sharing the best tips I find throughout the week.  This week, since my focus has been on drinking more water, I'll share my best water drinking tips.  Who knew there would have to be tips for drinking water. ha ha

Thanks to Pinterest, I found this little tid bit of info. And how awesome are my friends, I didn't even search for these, my friend just pinned this one and the one at the bottom this week.

We know it's good to drink, water that is, so how to remember and make it taste, well, not like water?  Here are some great ideas:

• Set your watch or phone to beep at the top of each hour, or set a periodic computer reminder, so that you don't forget to drink water.
•  Freeze little bits of peeled lemons, limes, and oranges and use them in place of ice cubes - it's refreshing and helps get in a serving or two of fruit.
• When you have a junk-food craving, down a glass of water immediately. You feel full quickly and avoid the calories, and it lets time pass till the craving fades.
• Drink a glass of hot water with 1 tbsp. lemon juice mixed in first thing in the morning.  This helps flush out your system.
• If you use my Organize Your Day printable, you can check off a water bottle for each one you drink.
• Or here's another great way to remember:

I didn't have nice rubber bands like this, mine were a mishmash of bands from the produce department, from the mailbox, or other assorted places, so mine looked pretty dumb. :)  We used to umm . . . secretly laugh at my BIL behind his back because always wore rubber bands as a fashion statement, maybe all this time he was counting his water intake.  Cheyenne didn't want me looking like him, so she nicely let me use her jelly bracelets today, so I'm much more fashionable.  Now I think I should start wearing them like I did in grade school, you know 2 looped together, or the one around your wrist with others stretched up and over your fingers, then I'd be totally rad and remember to drink all my water!! lol

So do you have any more great tips on how you drink your water?  Please share!
