Great idea. Anything that reminds us to do something is useful until it becomes a habit.

I just want to share that one of my current officemates use an alarm clock every few hours for her to know that it’s time for her to drink a cup of water. What a great way to get reminded.

Thanks Vin. Thanks for adding to my list of bad habits! I’ve added the glass of water to my routine this morning and I’m doing my weekly menu plan this afternoon. I usually get plenty of sleep anyway.

Hi Jude,

Here are a few ideas that might make it easier for you to get back on track.

1. When you cook, prepare a number of meals so that when you’re busy and hungry, you have a meal waiting for you and have less incentive to eat something unhealthy.

2. Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up and 15 or 20 minutes before each meal. Not only are there specific benefits to this schedule, but it also makes it harder to forget.

3. I’m sure you know this, but I’ll mention it anyway. Get lots of good sleep!

Good luck getting back on track!
