When I got sick a few weeks ago, I made it my main goal to be as hydrated (water only) as possible. I saw these 1.5L bottles at Whole Foods (they're huge) and grabbed a few of them and from there it was my goal to drink at least 2 of these 1.5-Liter bottles per day. I would drink one and keep another chilled in the fridge, then I would refill the empty, and so on. 

I realized I couldn't keep refilling these plastic bottles over and over before they started to get gross. I have a ton of water bottles so I didn't necessarily need a new one. However, I find that having at least a liter to drink from can help me track my Drinking and I also won't have to fill it up as much. The 1.5-liter bottles I was drinking from are HUGE, so cutting it back to just a liter-sized bottle makes transporting it a little easier and less heavy! 

I try to drink the first liter before lunch (I usually eat an early lunch around 11/11:30am). Then I work on the second liter in the afternoon. The third liter is around 4-8pm and then I have to cut myself off. A liter is about 33 ounces, so it's about 8.25 ounces an hour (about a cup an hour). 

I have noticed myself being way less hungry/eating less. I had read drinking water can help with weight loss and while I haven't really noticed any weight loss and that's not my goal, I think it's just helping me to eat a little less! I haven't noticed much in the way of anything else just yet (except how often I go to the bathroom- that's the annoying part, especially when you are on the move) but I am hoping this will just help me to overall be the healthiest version of myself!

Three liters is a lot of water (100+ ounces is over 6 regular sized water bottles (16oz)). I never really thought I was drinking too little before this and now I know I probably rarely drank at least 3 liters of water a day. At first, it was almost a struggle to get through all 3 liters. That's what I mean when I say I ate less- that much water really fills you up! 

But now that I have been doing it for a few weeks, it has become quite easy. I'm used to it and sometimes will even drink more than 3-liters!

Are you drinking enough water? Do you have any water goals? I ended up ordering this water bottle. I personally prefer a clear water bottle so I can gauge where I am with my intake. I also think a straw helps me to drink more. These are both personal preferences though. I used one of these in college for all 4 years and it was my favorite. This one is just the liter size! If that's not your thing, I'm sharing so many more options in the widget above!
