- Make it easy to drink water - keep a glass by your side when you are cooking, watching TV, reading, and, of course, exercising.
- When you reach into the refrigerator for something to eat or drink, first have a glass of water.
- When you need a break from what you are doing, grab a glass of water.
- Track how much water you drink in a day - you might be surprised.
- As a rule of thumb, try dividing your weight (in pounds) by 2 and drinking that many ounces of water each day. See how it makes you feel. If you exercise, you will need more than this.
- If you are worried about having to get up in the middle of the night, drink most of your water early in the day.
