What a difference a cup makes

Since I've upped my daily water intake I've been drinking a lot of water and learned that the "right" drinking container makes all the difference in the world.  

A few months ago I bought the red container at Wal-Mart.  It looked like it would be easier to carry water in the car with it because of the tapered bottom.  However, it has a wide opening and I'm always spilling water on myself when I try to grab a quick drink.

So, when I decided to up my water intake last week I pulled out a Weight Watchers water mug I had stored away from years ago.   I can down the water no problem with this cup and straw.  

I still use the red one when I'm out and about, but the WW cup is my old faithful always full of water on the counter in my kitchen and I'm finding that it's so easy to get my water drunk with this handy cup.  :)

Water Intake

A friend brought this article to my attention and I found it to make lots of sense.

According to Weight Watchers, the highest healthy weight for my age and height is 140 pounds, so I'm about 90 pounds over that.  According to this article I should be drinking about 29 extra ounces a day of water according to the extra weight.  

So, I'm going to up my daily goal to at least the 64 oz of water, and try and shot for about 96 oz.  I'll keep you posted!! :)
