Day 11: Drink Your Water Today

[Greeting]

Welcome to day 11 of the Weight Loss Lifestyle Challenge. You have likely been 
drinking water every day (hopefully), but it’s not always easy to keep up with your water 
every day. Luckily, there are some super easy ways to stay hydrated without thinking 
too much about it.


How Much Water Do You Need?

Let’s start with a simple one – how much water should you be drinking? There are a few 
opinions about this, from at least 8 glasses/64 ounces a day to drinking half your body 
weight in ounces. However, how much you need really depends on how active you are, 
the temperature and climate, and how much water you get from your food.

The easiest way to know? If you’re thirsty, drink more water! Also, if you keep getting 
headaches or have low energy, that also might be a sign of dehydration.


Easy Ways to Track Your Water

There are apps that track your water, which is probably the easiest for most people to 
do. You can also get a large bottle that holds the minimum 64 ounces a day. Another 
option is simply to know how many times you filled up your bottle, and how many 
ounces it holds.


Tip – Get larger water bottles with ounces that easily add up to the daily amount. For 
example, if you get a 20-ounce water bottle, you know you need about 4-5 of them a 
day. It’s an easy way to keep track.
