We all want to drink more water – and I needed an easier way
I have read a fabulous book called Atomic Habits by James Clear. One of the things is to make new habits easy.
How much water should we be drinking?
I found an easy formula to figure out how much water to drink in a day. Take your current weight in pounds divide it by 2 and that is the number of ounces you should drink. If you don’t weigh yourself then just guesstimate it.
Here is some easy math for you: 180 pounds / 2 = 90 / 8 ounces = 11 glass
That is almost 3 litres.
Here are my easy ways to drink more water:
- My water jugs are never empty
- Use my jugs to measure my water
- Leave it all in easy access place
My water jugs are never empty. Drinking more water is easy if my glass is always full. If I empty my Britta jug, I fill it up immediately. If I empty my glass, I fill it up immediately. This way the water is easy to get to.
I really hit the jackpot when I found my water jug! It came from Tupperware (not sure if they still make it) and IT IS 3 litres and has a nifty handle on it for me to carry it back and forth to work. My Britta jug is 1 litre so I need to drink 3 of them.
Easy!
Sorry neat freaks but I leave ALL of this on the kitchen counter. Yup, on the counter. I have a special spot but it is always accessible and always visible – this way it is hard to forget to drink it.
I hope this helps you reach your goals.
