Water?

I appologize in advance if this turns out to be dribble. My depression has been really causing havoc in my life lately and I've taken double the dose of my sleeping pill in hopes to sleep it off. I have eaten myself out of house and home lately and I haven't done any real exercise in two weeks. The good thing is I appear to be maintaining within 3#s. I need to get back on track and have decided to start with my water intake. Problem is I don't know for sure how much to drink. I read somewhere to drink half your body weight in ounces. That's 135oz.. Is this right? How do you get anything else done besides drinking and going to the bathroom? I've been working real hard to try and drink at least 64oz. daily. Is this not enough? I bought an insilated cup that holds 64oz. and Drinking on that all day seems to work. Today it was really warm so I've drank ~90oz of water today plus 24oz of Sonic limeaide. I do better when it's warm outside. How do you keep it up in the winter? Anyone have any suggestions as to how and drink more?

Hugs, Brenda
