So you're on day 2 of the water detox. Some of you might be suffering from headaches or you might be feeling grouchy without your coffee, tea, or other caffeinated beverages, but it will pass!
Having trouble getting your water intake in? Try some of these tips:
- Carry your water bottle with you at all times and fill it up whenever it's empty. You will be surprised how much water you drink if it's always full and sitting right in front of you.
- Dress it up. Add berries, lemon/lime, kiwi or other fruit to give your water a little taste. Here are some fun water "recipes": http://www.theyummylife.com/Flavored_Water (Also, look how pretty it is!)
- Have a glass or 2 of water as soon as you wake up. It will help to start your day off right and since we are only drinking 1 cup of coffee or tea in the morning, it might help to curb your headaches too.
