*I tend to have problems with my water. This article helped me, so I thought I'd post it.
Are you drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day? It's important that you keep hydrated — the right amount of clear, clean water will help your body set fat cells free and clear out other impurities! Seem like too much water? If you're having a hard time guzzling all that fluid, try these tips for working it in:
Add zest to plain water with a squeeze of lemon or lime, or add a splash of real fruit juice!
Soups with a clear broth base provide 3/4 cup of water per one-cup serving. Choose a broth that's low in salt and calories, or make your own broth full of fresh veggies!
Eat your water by choosing fruits and vegetables with a high water content. Watermelon, strawberries, apples, squash, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, and green peppers all contain over 90 percent water!
Blend a few ice cubes into your morning smoothie to up the water content.
Water actually tastes different depending on whether it's ice cold, room temperature, or steaming hot. Vary the temperature for a change of pace!
Drink up and enjoy!

Thanks for posting that. as a cashier and overnight at that, It's hard to get water in. I get a free water from the cooler for the cart boys as I walk into work and fill it at breaks and lunch. it's a 20 ounce bottle and I drain it in about 45 minutes. Yep, when I get my breaks, it's mad dash to the restroom! If I remember to bring the bottle home, I will fill it with filtered water (Our nieghbor downstairs has a Pur water filter on his faucet and he will bring up gallon jugs of filtered water for us) and freeze and then drink the melted ice. At work I fill it with water from the drinking fountain.
