You might have noticed that I haven’t mentioned any New Years resolutions. I purposefully don’t do resolutions because, frankly, I suck at them. I prefer to set some goals for myself. This year I have a very large goal of finishing the Indianapolis 500 Mini Marathon in May. One of the major reasons I set this goal for myself is because I want to lead a much healthier lifestyle than I currently lead. Its true that I still have a few pregnancy pounds that I need to shed from both of my kids’ births, but to be honest I could have started a few pounds lighter to begin with. Over the course of the month you will see a few posts about little changes I am making to my life to incorporate this new healthier lifestyle. I don’t think I need to make major changes, just little ones here and there.
The first change that I will be implementing is the amount of water that I drink every day. I am horrible when it comes to drinking water. In fact, I can go days without drinking water, it has always been a struggle of mine. To help make sure that I am drinking the recommended amount of water I have been using this free printable water intake calendar. I love the simplicity of the form, I simply check off a box every time I drink 8 ounces of water. I am not to my goal of drinking 8 a day, but I have been more aware of how much more water I need to drink. It has been very motivating for me.
I hope you can benefit from it as well. To download simply click on the picture above or click here!
I hope 2014 finds you and your family happy and healthy!

I have seen a few of these posted, but I really like this version. Water is the easiest, and sometimes the hardest, step that we can take.
Rachel says
That is a really neat idea for a calendar. I do good and drink about 60 ounces of water a day. I tried to increase it but just couldn’t do it.
Elaina says
This is a great way to keep on track!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I’m so printing this out. I STINK at drinking enough water. Thanks for this!
Dianna @ Oy Vey a Day says
This is a great tool. I actually drink tons of water – my problem is cutting out the diet soda that I drink in addition to the water!
Katie says
I totally need to drink more water. This would be a great tool to help!
Billie @ Rowell Reviews says
I love this, I need to get more water in as well. Now if I can get my printer to work.
Kelly Bejelly @ A Girl Worth Saving says
Thank you for this! I am terrible at remembering to drink enough water throughout the day.
Kelly @ Texas Type A Mom says
I need this in a bad way. I need to drink way more water than I do.
Singapore Mum Blog says
I would need this! I’m just like you! I don’t drink water at all!! 🙂
Anne says
I have been trying to drink more water too, but it is hard to remember. Thanks for the printable
Jennifer @ My Sweet Sanity says
I love this calendar. I currently only drink water and unsweetened tea but even with that I want to drink more. This would help so much.
Tammy says
Thank you for this – I really do need to drink more water, I try and try and fail epically all the time, maybe with a calendar like this I’ll hold myself more accountable.
Kira says
I’m addicted to water but this will be great for my daughter. I can’ quiet get her on board to love water as much as I do. Maybe this will help (wishful thinking?)
