I hate to drink water.
But, I struggle with choosing to drink water. I struggle with filling up my water bottle in the mornings and refilling it during the day. It’s not that I haven’t tried. In fact, I’ve tried to make it easy to drink water.
<--------See this pic over here???
These are just a sampling of water bottles that I have at my office. I’ve taken home about 4 more since I started here three years ago. I have TONS of water bottles. All types. Pretty, corporate-y, practical, big, small, tall, short. You name it, I’ve probably got one. I thought that if I had a pretty water bottle I would drink more water. In fact, I think one of my WW leaders said to invest in a pretty water bottle so you would WANT to drink more water. Ya, not so much.
But, if you were to take a look inside my recycling bin (ooh, gross), you’d see 2-3 empty 20 oz. bottles of Diet Coke. A day, people. Proud? No. Addicted? Most certainly. I love my Diet Coke. I can’t wait to crack open a new 20 ouncer first thing in the morning. I am thrilled that our vending machines now take credit/debit cards so I don’t need cash anymore. Silly.
I know Diet Coke and all of that aspartame is what is making me feel like I am part pickled. Seriously, sometimes I feel like my insides are starting to corrode like a car battery. Yes, I know it’s not as bad as drinking regular Diet Coke, but it’s not good. And, I am not even talking about the crazy amounts of caffeine I drink a day. Crazy.
This weekend I tried to cut down my Diet Coke intake and even though I drank more than you probably did, I drank less than I normally would. It was hard.
Today, I did drink Diet Coke, but I’ve been drinking water all day too. I am hoping that I can keep weaning down my Diet Coke intake to a normal consumption level and then ultimately, replace it with Diet Coke altogether. Oh sure, I may have one every once in a while, but I hope I get to a point that I don’t even like it. I’ve heard that happens, too.
How do you get your water in? Any tips!?
