The point is not perfection. We are trying to accomplish new habits. So if you are drinking more than you did last week, you are moving forward!! And let's talk about my opinion of what "counts". Cup of water = Absolutely Lemon water = Same Hot tea = Definitely Fresh carrot juice = indeed, this is pure water with added benefits! Coffee = I am willing to count one as long as you are also getting water in other ways....and I am NOT counting Starbucks specialty drinks even though I might have one soon π π π
