Plus, it will give you that satisfying feeling of starting the day off right and marking off your first glass of water in your tracker.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Swap less healthy drinks for water.<\/strong> When you would normally grab a soda or other sugary drink, simply drink a glass of water instead.
