This year I am simplifying my life. This isn't a resolution. I guess it's more of a goal. A goal to shift and adjust my mindset into something a little more healthy.
I am re-learning how to do only ONE thing at a time. To do it well, instead of doing a million things halfway.
And I want to invite all of you to embark on this fun journey with me!
For the next 12 months, I am going to choose ONE positive wellness action each month and focus ONLY on that.
Why only one? Because, I want these positive things to become habits in my life. I don't want to do something only for 2016 and then forget about it next year. I want these wellness habits to follow me throughout my life.
So, what is January? January is HYDRATE.
I am so bad at drinking water. Like, really bad.
And I almost wish I could say it was because I don't like drinking it. But that wouldn't be true.
The truth is, I love drinking water; I just have the world's smallest bladder. Translation: when I drink my daily recommended amount of water, I have to pee. ALL DAY LONG.
It's like, I might as well take my laptop to work and just set up a desk in the bathroom. That way I am least productive.
Alas, that is not a viable option. So for the next 21 days, I am going to focus on drinking more H2O.
Even if I am peeing every 20 minutes.
8-10 glasses of water per day is the typical recommendation.
So let's have some fun.
As a 28 year old, 140 pound woman, I should be drinking half my body weight in ounces of water per day.
Example: 140 pounds - half of that is 70 pounds - which means I should be drinking 70 oz of water per day.
This rounds up to about 72 oz a day.
That's 504 oz per week.
2,016 oz per month.
24, 192 oz per year.
Dang.
That's a lot of agua.
But I'm going to try and do it. And you all are my accountability partners.
If you are interested in taking the January Hydrate Challenge, let me know!
There will be a FB group for accountability, encouragement, tips, tricks and whatever else we need to keep us focused!
We can do this!
