I love these suggestions. I get water for my daughter and son every morning before school. My daughter drinks from a waterfountain so she just needs a little to get her on the bus till school. My son refuses to drink from the waterfountain so he carrys three bottles to school and leaves them in his locker. I ofter neglect myself and find that parch feeling on and off. My body signals thirst with a cough, it's annoying so I drink to get rid of it. Thank God for body signals. Water is so important, I am grateful I do not have to drink from muddy water holes like many in third world countries. gypsychant´s last blog post...Fear of the deep; breath that is.

Boy, I really needed to read this today! I'm eight months pregnant and have been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions for a few weeks now. My doctor found through some tests that I was dehydrated so I've been paying much more attention to how much water I drink throughout the day. I've always been a big water drinker, but I have to admit that between keeping up with my 3-year old, running the house, and working, I've often let hours go by without realizing I needed a drink. It's all too easy to do! Thanks for the helpful tips to get me back on my game. And I totally agree that drinking plenty of water really makes a difference in my energy level.

Staying hydrated is one of my biggest challenges. I keep a big cup of water on my desk at all times, and keep track of how many I drink a day. I read you need to drink half your weight in ounces of water so I try to keep track as best as possible.

I also have cut out soda, coffee and caffinated tea since caffine makes you retain water.

The fruit/veggie plate thing is a great idea! I will have to do that! As for drinking enough water, the one thing that has always helped me with that is to use a large, refillable plastic jug that has a straw (you drink more water w/o knowing it!). It was a life-saver while I was nursing my kids b/c I would get horrible head-aches while nursing if I wasn’t hydrated. The best jug I found was at Target in the camping section – it’s pink too! It held enough water that I only needed to fill it up twice in order to get the daily amount needed … but found that I fill it up more often than that! Yea!

I have a “drinking buddy”… my husband! He “drinks” with me and we hold each other accountable with staying properly hydrated. :O)
