I carry around a big re-usable water bottle all day and I keep 3 elastic bands on it. Every time I empty it, I move one band from the top to the bottom to keep track of how much water I'm drinking. I'm finally getting enough in every day.
What is your secret for drinking enough water?

Pretty similar to you - I have a 64-oz. Kleen Kanteen that I fill at home (I love our filtered water) and bring to work every day. I have to drink the whole thing before I go home. Before I did this I would go entire work days without drinking any water and feel awful by the end of the day.
How big is your water bottle?

I definitely don't drink enough. After I stopped nursing/pumping I got lazy about it, and there isnt a water cooler at work so I have to bring my own water. I need to try harder!

I try to drink a gallon of water a day. I get a lot of BH contractions when I don't, so it keeps me drinking!

It's awesome, saves me from going back and forth to the kitchen 18 times a day

@T-Mom: the water cooler at my office is crucial to my water consumption. When I was off on mat leave, my boss joked we went through one less bottle a week

I am sure I don't drink nearly as much as I should. But, it is pretty much the only thing I drink.

I do not drink enough water and am usually to lazy to keep up with the necessary intake I need. With my pregnancy my LO made me drink over a gallon of water a day.

@plantains: that's a good idea!
I drink out of a cup with a straw which helps me drink more/faster.

I go some days without drinking any! It's horrible. I have to put lots of ice and lemon in mine to find it tolerable

@prettylizy: nice, if you drink 3 x 28 ounces that's a great amount! I never had a problem drinking water at home, just at work, strangely.

I have a Camelback that I fill up 3-4 times a day!

@Giraffe: I'm the opposite, I like the go for a walk from my desk and the water cooler is a great distraction (seriously, how corporate does that sound... blech!) At home I get distracted and don't bother.

I need to drink way more. The tap water here tastes terrible so it's tough...I go through as much bottled water as I can, but I'm lazy.

@prettylizy: I have to lock my office door, walk either all the way down the hall or up to the next floor, and swipe my ID card to get to our water coolers at work - it always seemed like way too much of a hassle to bother! Plus, our water comes in BPA bottles and I wanted to avoid that when I was pregnant.

@PrincessBaby: I totally stole the idea from somewhere (likely on HB! lol!) but it really works!!!!
