Tracking Your Water
I have found tracking my water is necessary and helps me to meet my daily goal.
There are many apps available that you can use to track yours.
I use Carb Manager because it helps me track my diet, macros, and water. Available in your app store, this has a "free" and "premium" version. I use the free version and it does everything that I need.
If you prefer to track your water with a chart, here is a free downloadable tracker.
