How do you keep track of your water? Mark on the bottle?

Hi Margy!

I've got one of those big water bottles that holds 8 glasses of water, so I fill that up in the morning, and make sure I drink all of it during the day. We found them at the local Walgreens, but I think they are pretty widely available. They look like the huge bottles for water coolers, only a good bit smaller!

I think they are made out of polycarbonate???
I try to drink at least 10 glasses a day, so I usually drink a couple of glasses when I get up, and throw a couple more in during the day.
Before we found the 8 glass ones, we would fill up enough bottles to equal our day's water goal, line them all up, and just start drinking our way through them!
When I'm at home, sometimes I've just made hashmarks on a note pad on the fridge. Whatever works!!! I can't keep track of it either, unless I have some sort of help...

Hugs,
Emily

When I'm shopping at Trader Joe's I pick up a 50 oz bottle of there water. Then after drinking the contents I have the bottle as my measure and just fill it back up one more time for that day to get my 100 oz. Then in the morning I fill it and do that twice each day.
