This is something I struggle with! It seems so easy. But for some people (like me) it is a genuine nutrition challenge. This is why getting a minimum of 2-3 liters of water a day is week #1 in my 6 week fitness and nutrition challenge for Strong Sexy Mammas. There is not a specific amount to stick to as there are so many variables that go into how much water we need on any given day (how much are we exercising? Sweating? How much are we in the sun? Are we breastfeeding? Etc etc etc!)

Here are simple ways I’m using during this challenge to get it in….

#1 FRUIT INFUSED WATER:

-Daily I drink Soda Stream Water with fresh lemon… BUT! One of my FAV fancy fruit infused waters? Sliced strawberry + orange + lime (+ optional basil)

#2 SIP ENTIRE GLASS OF WATER BEFORE EACH MEAL OR SNACK

-Very often when we think we are ‘starving’ we are actually more dehydrated than anything. If we drink water first and then we are still ‘starving’ then we truly need to eat eat eat! But it’s quite possible our body is craving high quality H20 more than anything else!

#3 DOWNLOAD AN APP TO TRACK ON YOUR PHONE

There are loads of free apps you can find now such as Daily Water Free or Daily Water. Simply download them to your smart phone to set daily reminders and fun alarms. I am not into apps like this but many women see success with these and seem to love the techy way of tracking!

#4 SIP GINGER OR RASPBERRY TEA

-These herbal teas are awesome because they have quite strong flavors that leave you wanting more. Plus! It may help us kick our afternoon coffee habit. Turns out… many of us just want something warm to sip and don’t necessarily miss the coffee!

#5 SET A WORKOUT RULE

-Pour a glass or water bottle and keep it at your ‘workout station’ during your Strong Sexy Mammas workout. Set a rule for yourself that you’ll finish the entire glass or bottle before rolling that yoga mat back up and packing away the weights.
