However, when I was with a partner it encouraged me to drink more water since it appealed to my competitive streak.
I plan to measure my goals by writing dates in my agenda that state by this date I should be able to drink at least x amount of bottles of water. I also plan to set a silent reminder on my phone reminding me to drink water throughout the day. I plan to write bullet points everyday about what I did successfully that day, and what I need to work on as I progress though this goal. In my journal I will include how many bottles of water I drank that day.

I am going to set a daily goal for how many bottles of water I am going to drink that day. I want to find a friend with a the same goal as me; drinking more water. We can both remind each other and encourage each other to keep up with our individual goals. This goal is achievable because I have the proper equipment necessary for this goal such as water bottles, fruits for infused water, and encouragement from peers and
