Tips on How to Drink More Water

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.

I figured it out! And now I feel great!

All my life I thought I was normal.

burped all the time
always had Tums with me
bloating - pain
binge ate

I had my gull bladder out at age 20 which I thought was normal. I was just like most of the females in my family.

My symptoms got worse over time.

IBS or no poop at all - plan my outings to where the washrooms are
brain fog - can not complete sentences or my thoughts
extreme fatigue - like can't get off the couch and the TV is NOT even on tired

I felt like I was losing myself. Everything I ate or drank made me feel yucky!

THEN in my early 40’s I became gluten intolerant.

Was I headed for a crash?? So scary!

And terrified about how the rest of my life was going to be like. I have always planned to live a long life but I want to be active and health while I do it.

I was feeling like an old person: always know where the bathroom was, wear stretchy clothes to accommodate the food baby and bloating, achy joints, brain fog, and wanting sleep all the time. I wasn’t living the life the way I wanted.

Hope comes from unexpected places; right? My step daughter was using essential oils and loved them AND she was using them on my grandkids. So if she trusted it so much - I have it a try. There was a kit that I bought and in it was a blend called Digize. Oh My Gosh! All I did was put it where I was hurting and got immediate results! I was shocked and amazed. Life was going to be good after all, phew.

Because I had such great results with Digize I then had confidence to learn and try other products to help my gut. It was like night and day! I NEVER know what it actually felt like to FEEL GOOD. I didn’t know - now I do.

Do you know what it is like to feel good?

Life is meant to be lived. I crave new experiences all the time. Now that I have sorted out my digestive issues I can get on with learning new things and creating fantastic experiences.
