I use a measuring cup and poor Water from my frig it into my waterbottle. I pack enough water for the day and if I'm not done by my home commute I finish at home. Crystal lite helps when I get sick of water.

Anything I do is when I gt my morning coffe from starbucks, smallest size now with non fat milk, I ask for a large (venti cup) of water. That holds 24 oz and fits in my cup holder. I refill it 2 more times and I'm good. It doesn't seem overwhelming that way.

I try to have my water by me all day and I continuously take small sips. I stop 10 mins before I eat. Then I set my alarm on my phone for one hour. When I hear the alarm, I start sipping again. I think the phone alarm really helps.

Just to clarify,,.I mean after my commute home I bring in my unfinished Water bottles and drink from them. They are various sizes but it's fine bc in the morning I measured out 8 cuos with my measuring cup and filled up the bottles with that.

not anything I do...another thing I do...that was a typo...on days I don't have time to pre measure my water, I do the starbucks venti trick.
