**This was supposed to go live on Friday, but I accidentally scheduled it for March {call it wishful thinking}. And, after doing some thinking about what day I should start each challenge, I've decided to change the day to Sunday. My reasoning is because I usually do my grocery shopping on Sunday's & this way, I could prepare better for the new weekly challenge! So, plan to see the next weekly challenge next SUNDAY {February 10th}!**
Happy February 1st – where does the time
go?! Not only is it the 1st of the month, it’s FRIDAY!
I can hardly contain my excitement…I love Friday’s! Since it’s Friday, it’s time for me to kick off my very
FIRST weekly challenge {jumping up and down & waving hands in the
air}! Since it’s the first challenge, I’m going to ease into it…{read: I
wasn’t organized & needed something easy to start with}.
Week 1 challenge
Water, water, water! Yes, it sounds simple, but it’s
definitely a challenge; at least it is for me. The tricky question: how
much water does a person need to consume in a day? There are so
many different answers to this not-so-simple question. The way that I’ve
always estimated my water intake needs is by taking my weight {which I will not
be divulging on this blog} & dividing it by 2 and that’s the magical
number of ounces needed for the day. I’ve also heard 10 glasses (=1 cup/glass)
of water / day.
How do you calculate YOUR water intake?
So, here’s my challenge to you: drink ten {10} 8 ounce
glasses of water each day…for the next week! Water is such an
important part to our diets & I think {for me at least} we tend to lack the
proper amount of water we intake each day. Truthfully, I love, love, LOVE
me a nice glass of ice cold water – but, sometimes it’s just easier for me to
grab one of those not-so-healthy-sugary beverages. And, I don’t
plan on giving my daughter any of those not-so-healthy beverages {at least not
for a long, long time} – so I figure, I should lead by example.
Habits aren’t always necessarily bad & this is one of them. I want to
get into the habit of reaching for a glass of water – good for your skin, good
for your figure & just plain refreshing!
So, get yourself a nice, cold {or warm; whatever you prefer}
glass of water…or 10 {um, then plan on hitting up the little girl/boys room way
more frequently}!!
Challenge yourself & good luck :)
