We all know that drinking water is good for you! The challenge is making sure that you drink enough! Sometimes, we get busy, distracted or we don’t want to have spend our day in the washroom.
However, regardless of all of the challenges and reasons why you don’t drink enough water, I am encouraging you today to….
DRINK.YOUR.WATER.
Here is a cute printable worksheet for you to track your 8 glasses of water a day from Wild Olive (see the “download the printable list here” at the bottom of the blog post).
Thanks to a discussion with my blogging friend Kat from Canadian Moms Online, I have come up with a new routine.
My new water routine is this:
- Start my day with a tall glass of COLD water with 1/2 a lemon squeezed into it.
- After each meal and snack, follow up with a tall glass of luke warm or warm water with 1/2 a lemon squeezed into it.
- Each evening, I drink a small mug of hot water before going to bed.
- Throughout the day, I will occasionally put a drop of pure peppermint extract to change it up a bit.
- Some days, I will make Sassy Water

off to grab my water bottle right now and going for a squeeze of lemon!
when I was pregnant and nursing I was really good at staying on top of my water intake….but with the challenge of staying on top of 2 busy boys – it slips my mind to take care of myself…thanks for the reminder!
I am good at drinking water during the week, I always have a water bottle on my desk while at work, it is the weekend where I get off track
I carry around a sports bottle with me – holds 3 1/2 cups and I fill it 3 times a day. Im good on water! Since doing this I have really cut back on my coffee and diet pop consumption.
I just had a nice cold glass of water! I love putting lemon in my water too.
Fabulous post and excellent reminder for everyone! Water intake is crucial for everyone! Consuming those 8 glasses a day can keep you hydrated, more alert and active. Not only that but it can help contribute to weight loss and a decrease in bloat. What’s not to love about water!! 🙂
Such a simple task, yet so hard to remember to do it. Beer has water in it, right???
I am back on track with my water today too!
