I hate plain water, but I know that I need to drink more in order to be healthy. Beside lemon, how can I jazz up the water? What do some of you all do to help with the flavor of water? thanks

Best advice I can give you is to change the way you think about it. Make yourself enjoy it. It is all about habits and mindset. I drink between 140-160 oz of water a day. Water is the only thing I drink ever besides milk. I never get tried of it and I never don't want to drink it. You are conditioned to drinking other things so naturally something that doesn't have flavor, sugar,or carbination doesn't seem as good. Remind yourself everytime you drink it how good it is for you. After a while it will become a habit and you won't even think about it.

There are sugar free powdered mixes you can add to 16oz bottles of water now. I know Crystal LIght has them as well as WalMart brands. They make drinking water sooooo much easier. Flavors such as lemonade, raspberry ice, peach iced tea, orange drink.

There are plenty of flavored waters. I enjoy Propel Fitness Water by Gatorade. My favorite is just natural H2O though. But yes, pleeenty of options for you.
