Okay, so you already know it.
Yep, You know you need to drink more water especially since summer is just a few days off.
And with working at home, you need to take extra care of yourself because you don’t have other colleagues to share what their latest health habit is. You can’t have an office contest on who’s the biggest loser (weight wise) or who can give up sugary treats for a week.
So you need to take the time to discipline yourself to take healthy steps for yourself.
I found using a Camelbak water bottle is a great find because it holds 750 ml of water so I don’t have to keep refilling it. And I now have one for each car so I don’t have the excuse that I can’t find my water bottle.
Are the excuses rushing into your head why you don’t drink more water?
Remember that drinking water:
- replenishes your nose, ears and eye tissues
- flushes your body of toxins
- regulates brain function
- hydrates you so you’re less likely to eat snacks
And if you’re still not convinced, start drinking water for a week regularly…and you’ll find that you start to crave it.
Share with me do you drink water daily? Or do you need to get back to this great habit?

Yep! I have been working from/at home for more than ten years now and drinking lots of water is part of the routine.
I have a large (BPA Free) clear plastic container that holds 24 ounces. I keep mental track of how often I fill it, aiming to do that at least three or four times each day. If I leave the house for an errand or appointment, my habit is to take the container along with my purse. At night I keep a different water container on the bedside table. And I use it!
I know of people who have their computer or smart phone set to signal reminders every hour to drink water as well as to stand up, move the arms and shake the legs. (Good heart maintenance)

Hi Julie, That’s a good tip to put a reminder on your phone. Thx, J!
I’ve been a water convert for about four years now. It not only is healthier but I found that it truly does make your skin look better. I can’t say that I crave water though(well, except after playing pickleball because I’m completely dehydrated) but I have found that adding some TRUE Lemon, a drink additive, helps a lot. After evaluating labels of other drink additives, TRUE Lemon seemed like the most natural that our grocery store sells.
Oh and by the way, your blog post gave me a great idea for my blog….thanks!!
Hi Julia, I had been pretty good about drinking water and then a few days ago I realized that I’d stopped – so that’s why I blogged about it. Good motivation for me. j
