Water logged

It's been recommended to me by a friend, as well as my Dr, to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal and really not that much water, but let me tell you, it is!!
This is something everyone really should do, but I'm putting more priority on it with all the medication I'm on and really trying to keep my body healthy and ready for baby.

I have already mostly cut soda out of my life, other than my one Diet Coke at lunch. (It's my treat each day!) I know how bad soda is, the sugar, Aspartame, caffeine, but I figure my one a day is okay. I don't drink coffee, so other than water, I typically have milk with dinner and if I want something sweet, I'll have juice. I also discovered Hansen's soda at Trader Joe's, which is a great alternative to soda since it's all-natural. Even better they carry it at Costco now too! 

But really I need to make sure I'm drinking more water, so that's what I'll focus on doing. I determined that eight glasses equals four bottles of water. I can do that! I started a tally on my whiteboard at work, as long as I drink two bottles at work, then I'll make sure to drink two more when I get home. It's actually going really well! I have to consciously keep track of what I'm drinking all day and keep reminding myself to drink, otherwise I'll go hours without a sip of water.
One thing I didn't keep in mind was one of the medications that I'm on. One of the side effects clearly states "Increased Urination", though it should really say "Warning: Bladder Is Always Full". Let's just say that although I'm doing really great on my water intake and meeting my daily 6-8 glasses per day, I'm also in the bathroom much much more. Not a fan of getting up twice in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, but hey, I better get used it :)
