March 22 is World Water day! Perfect timing :) I can always tell when I haven’t had enough water. A year ago I started carrying around a 32 oz Nalgene bottle which has helped me keep up my intake, and now I can’t leave the house without it.
Really? World Water Day? Cool ;D
Cheers to you with a nice refreshing glass of H2O ;D
mom keeps telling me the same thing:) i should up my intake for sure! i dont know how hubbs survives with like 1 glass a day.. he just forgets to drink at work. men.
I know, this post is as much a reminder to me as it is to my readers… and I sure do hope my husband will read it and get the message also ;)

I used to drink this religiously every morning and felt so incredible! It was also always followed by a green smoothie later in the morning and I would literally not be hungry until a bit past lunch. It also helped me curb coffee and other junk cravings. I’m not sure why I fell off the wagon with the lemon water, but it was such a good habit to have. Thanks for reminding me about it. I’ll be getting back to it for sure ;)
It always feel like you read my mind! I was staring at my water yesterday, thinking how happy I am that it’s a habit for me, because I really believe it is one of the most fundamentally healthy things that I do. I also add lemon juice to my detox tea for an extra boost!
natural headache relief? less sprains? I learned something today!
It’s amazing how often I just forget to drink water! Good reminder.
Me… too little water and instead I drink coffee. I need to switch it up an ddrink more water. I like your tip with lemon! thanks for sharing!
Flora my dear, when you have a cup of coffee – you need to drink 2 glasses of water just to refuel the fluids your 1 cup of coffee dehydrates from you!!
Cheers to H2O!
;D
it worked quite a bit for me. i’ll drink more water tohrugohut the day and it’ll make me eat less since i’m full of water. i also drink a lot of water while i’m eating so i don’t over eat. but don’t drink TOO much water cause it can be bad for you. 6-8 full glasses a day is good for me. i also work out and eat some kind of protein after wards. i don’t drink protein shakes. i believe in going all natural. but eating protein bars, granola bars, or fruits tohrugohut the day help keep my metabolism up as well.good luck!
Woman you are a font of knowledge. I will try this asap!
I love water and lemons! So yum! Great post, Ella!
