Something I have been doing to ensure I have been getting enough water is using rubber bands.
Now let me explain this first.
Coming directly from livestrong.com "Use your weight to determine how much water to drink. According to body building expert Dave Parise C.P.T., adults should multiply their body weight by .65 (.55 for cold climates and .75 for hot climates) to determine how much water to drink. Or, use an online calculator to calculate for you"

So I bought a water bottle -> that I love. Double insulated, and it twists apart so I can put ice cubes in it ... perfect for me. I scrounged up 9 rubber bands and I keep them on my water bottle. Through out the day every time I empty it I take one off and put it on my wrist. It is REALLY hard to get through 9 a day if you are not used to drinking much water at all but this method has actually helped me easily keep track and show me if I am behind in the day. Also doing this it has helped suppress my appetite so I am not wanting to snack a lot during the day.
Rubber bands was just a simple cheap way to do this. You could get creative and go to Hot Topic or Spencer's and get the gel bracelets and alternate it from your right to your left (or vice versa)
That is my little post for today, short and sweet but something that is very important. Water has more benefits for you than you know.
