It's no secret drinking water is good for you. They say it helps your skin, your health, and probably just about everything else, too.  When I was younger I loved to drink water. I remember when I was in college, my roommates would take study breaks to go and get large Diet Cokes from the snack bar.  I would be content just sipping on a large glass of water. ( I usually ended up spilling it all over our dorm room floor, but that's another story). But as the years passed, I started to drink water less and less and opted for other drinks instead.  While I've never been a huge soda drinker, these days it's unusual for me not to have one a day. 

There are lots of products out there aimed at encouraging people to drink flavored water. I like them, and admit they're a good way to get you through an afternoon when you'd rather have a sweet snack. But it's just not the same as drinking pure water, in my opinion.  So, this week, I'm trying to recapture "the old me"...the one who used to get her daily recommended amount of water...without even trying. We'll see how it goes. Maybe getting back to the old ways, is easier than I think.
