Our Monthly Focus - Drinking Water 
Welcome to the month of June and to a brand new habit. This month, we are going to work on Drinking Water. With the hot summer months upon us, now is a great time to start the habit of hydrating and re-hydrating. Check out all the great info below to help get you motivated and moving.
This is one simple way to love yourself. Take the time to drink your water. If you don't, who will take care of you! ~ FlyLady

Here are the habits we have covered in 2009. Remember to reinforce these habits along with completing your new one.
Are You Drinking Enough Water?
Dear Friends,
Water is good for us, and many of us don't drink enough.
Is your skin dry and itchy? Water can help this.
When you cough, do you feel like a lung is coming up? Water can help
this too.
We all know how much water we are supposed to drink.
Sometimes we push food down our throats when we are just thirsty.
Take note and listen to your body.
Our bodies are made up of mostly water. Dehydration even slight, makes
us feel weak. There is also a problem with water intoxication, but I
don't think any of you have this problem. Balance is the key. Don't
drink more than a quart in 1 hour. Spread your water intake over the
whole day. 8 glasses of 8 oz in 24 hours is the recommended amount.
This is 2 quarts. Once you get your body hydrated, you don't have to
pee as much as you do when you first start.
I don't want to hear complaints that I don't like water, or that I am
not a doctor and should not be telling you to drink water. You are
smart women, You know if you are drinking enough water and you know if
you are guilty of not drinking enough. Water is essential to life.
Water helps to clean out the impurities from your system. When I am
sick with a cold. Which I have not had one in 3 years. I drink 12 oz
every 30 minutes in the mornings. After about 4 hours of my own water
remedy, I am able to cough up the crap that is in my lungs. I am not
telling you to do this, this is what works for me.
I want you to take care of yourself. Eating right and drinking enough
water is part of it. Commit to taking care of yourself. I have to set
a timer to remind myself to drink water. I keep jug of 64 oz jug of
water in my refg. I drink on it all day and in the evening I fill it
back up for tomorrow. This is how I keep up with how much I am
drinking. If I didn't, I would forget.

Testimonial:Water From A Pretty Glass!
Dear FlyLady,
I wanted to share a "water-drinking tip" with you and your other
FlyBabies. I love and embrace the idea of water in a jug for
out-of-home running aroundÉ. But, for at-home time, I enjoy a nice
glassÉsomething prettyÉ.something that fits "me". Personally, though
not at all an alcohol drinker, I like a high-ball glass. For some
reason the shape and fit in my hand is comforting and pleasing. And,
I drink more when I feel good about it visually!
You can get very pretty, yet inexpensive glasses, at dollar stores.
Or, if it pleases, we can even get a nice cut crystal one at a
department store that is reserved just for ME and just for water! We
do other simple things because we're FLYingÉ. So, why not drink from a
"golden" goblet, too!?
Thanks for all the encouragement you give. I have been FLYING with
you for 2 1/2 years now! Nothing is the same!
Hydrated,
Robin in Virginia

have and use nice things...even when drinking your water!!!!!!
