I am one of those who is very bad about drinking water. It’s not that I don’t like water, but it is one of those things I forget to do. So to make sure I drink my 8 glasses of water, I place it on my FlyLady calendar.
I have taken your suggestion, and use one of my timers (that’s right, I have 2 of them 🙂 LOL) and set it for an hour. When it goes off, I drink one eight ounce glass of water, and then place a stick mark on the day to show me how many glasses of water I have drank. Not only does it keep me hydrated, it also encourages me as I look at the month and see how many glasses of water I have drank! When I first started, it was hard. I look back and see that in the first 2 or 3 days I had only placed 3 or 4 sticks on the calendar. Not anymore! I am so happy when I have finally drank my 8th glass of water and recorded it. I live by my calendar. I even carry a small one in my purse. If I’m eating out, I place a mark on my purse calendar and then transfer it to my FlyLady calendar when I get home. Thank you, FlyLady, for your calendar. I love it, especially since it has nice big blocks where I can place so many things on it! God Bless! Flying Hydrated in San Antonio, |
