Hey Ladies
After seeing how many of us included drinking more water as one of their November goals, I've decided to spearhead the November HydroChallenge. This way, instead of a nebulous, "drink more water" goal, we will have more well-defined, concrete goals. I know that I will be more motivated and less likely to slack off if I am committed to a structured challenge
Everyone set your own goals. We are all at different stages of dehydration (
) so only you know what would be a good short-term goal for you. And it's perfectly okay to start out with one goal for the 1st week or the 1st half of the month, and then increase to a more ambitious goal later. The idea is to integrate a larger water intake into your normal activity so it isn't like a one-time thing. We are trying to create a new lifetime habit! I just bought a new Eddie Bauer Nalgene-type bottle (clear, hard plastic in bright colors--pretty popular right now) from Target today--It was $6.99. You can get yourself a new water bottle for the occasion (sometimes that type of thing motivates me
) or you can use bottled water and keep track of how many you drink.
For this initial post, set a water-drinking goal that will last at least a week (you can change later if you want to start out slow now). We will report back EVERY DAY. I know that seems intense, but I feel like the only way I'm going to be able to do this is if I take it one day at a time. If you aren't on the board every single day, write down at the end of each day how much you drank so you can remember when you come back and report. Feel free to share any hydration-related tidbits or suggestions with everyone. We can do this!
My goal:
My new water bottle holds 1000mL. For this coming week, my goal is to drink one every day. That's a little more than 32oz, only half of the recommended amount...I really need to ease into this cuz I really don't drink a lot during the day and I don't want to be running to the bathroom all day long. I will see how I fare this week, and increase next week if I'm ready.
What's your goal?
