Water

Water. I try to love it, I try to drink it. But the reality is some days I manage to get in as little as one glass. Granted there is water in fruit and many other foods we eat, but I find myself pretty dehydrated much of the time. 

This weekend I purchased a water bottle at an event. The hope was this would get me drinking water again. I used to carry a water bottle around and drink it all day when I was healthier. So it shouldn't be too hard to get back into the habit, right? Wrong, it has sat in anticipation on the countertop. It stared at me as I walked by forgetting to drink. Every now and again I'd look at it and think about how I should fill it up and carry it out the door with me. So far, it hasn't happened. Until today! Truth be told, I almost walked by it again. I consciously thought about what I was doing and how I was making excuses not to do something just because I was being lazy. How hard is it to fill up a water bottle?! Sometimes I'm surprised by my own ridiculousness. The ten seconds it took to fill up the bottle has not only made it possible for me to have water on hand the entire morning, its also going to save me money since there will be no need to purchase a drink should the thought cross my mind. So far half the bottle is gone. My goal is to finish it and have to refill before mid afternoon. 

This evening is zumba! It's going to kick my butt, but that's ok. Just going and moving is a step in the right direction. I can't wait to do it, and my water bottle will be right by my side.
