Well With Water

Hello there =)

I started my Sarah Celebrates 30 Day Challenges to encourage myself (and hopefully others) to tackle some goals we often make for ourselves but give up on. Thirty days is such a short time, surely we can commit to that.

Last month we took a minute to enjoy & connect with ourselves with the #MinuteOfMe challenge. Preparing for the holidays can be stressful and sometimes in times of stress we tend to to neglect ourselves. How did you do with the #MinuteOfMe challenge?

And now January is upon us… A month of renewal and new beginnings. People are ripe with ambition and energy. New Years Resolutions are a plenty and most revolve around health and fitness goals. I am no different. How about you?

I think this calls for a healthy lifestyle type of challenge =)

It’s recommended we drink eight glasses of water a day! What?! I don’t know about you, but hydration is something I struggle with. Particularly of the water variety. Some days, the extent of my liquid intake half a pot of coffee in the AM and milk with dinner. Seriously.

~The Challenge~

We are going to get #WellWithWater. I challenge you to drink a gallon of water each day.

Ok, ok! Hear me out. I don’t expect you to drink a whole gallon; most of us would float away or spend the month in the bathroom… raises hand But making a conscious effort to increase your intake should improve your health significantly; from controlling appetite to making your skin look better.

~Setting Your Goal~

Start by identifying how much water you drink on a good day. I drink one of these… I think it’s about 16 oz and I’m in the bathroom CONSTANTLY (TMI, so sorry).

Then use that as a baseline to set your goal. I’m going to drink 2 of these a day; a good day times two.

By just setting a goal and writing it down you’re taking the first step. Increase the goal as the month goes on. Who knows… Maybe by the end of the month I’ll be drinking 4 of those water bottles ;)

Watch for my post What I Expect Out Of The #WellWithWater Challenge

I also decided to give back during this challenge. I believe we often take for granted the availability of clean water in our lives. There are so many people that don’t have access to water, let alone clean water.

In conjunction with the #WellWithWater challenge, I will be supporting Charity Water Org. I have set a goal of $500 and will be donating $31 at the start of the challenge, possibly more.
