i agree on the lukewarm water
 

it is easier to get down i also drink it in bottles with at least 2 servings cause it doesn't look like a ton of water. but now i am drinking a 33.8oz water bottle and all it takes is 2 bottles. Krista

Krista- My COD actually decided I was drinking too much water, and had me cut back. With coffee and tea, I was over a gallon a day.

I also have a huge container with a spigot that holds a week's worth of water! I have it in my classroom and fill up my coffee cup regularly! The other thing that has worked for me is to have two bottles. One on my desk and one at the front of my classroom where I tend to stand a lot!

I carry around the 64oz jug and start at 530 am and by dinner it is gone. But I also take the cap off to drink it, my DH says I will get more water in at a time that way. I like water though and it has to be room temp never cold for me.

Hope it gets easier for you.

Last year at the fair I got one of those 1 liter bottles of water (it was hot here...LOL) anyway I figured some day I'd find a use for it. Well, as it turns out 1 liter = 32 ounces... So I look at it this way... I only have to down Two of them a day and that's it. Makes it easier for me.

Thanks for the tips ladies! I've tried pre-measuring out the water in my bottle and then pouring it into a cup. That seems to be working. Also drinking with a straw seems to be working.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who has troubles getting in all that water!

Different drinks for different folks
 

I also add the chrystal lights. It doesn't feel like cheating to me. I knew I needed to increase my water, but my biggest demon was sodas (diet). I was caffiene addicted. So I started out with buying caffiene free. After a while I lost the taste to want that too much. The water tasted good in a bottle, but I couldn't drink it all day. Now I have a different approach. Variety all day. I might drink a V8, Orange Juice (I usually just stick to raw orange), chocolate milk (cuz I hate milk and can't get my calcium in), chrystal light, water, and an occasional caffiene free diet soda. Having said that. I just drink 3 20oz bottles. By alternating them, I never felt like I was stuck with 1 taste all day. I know that sounds like a lot of beverages, but I was drinking 6+cokes per day and 2 glasses of water.
