So its fall! I don’t know you about you. But i have been wanting a new challenge something to get me excited for Fall in terms of doing something healthy. Then i saw this article about a woman who in the UK decided to drink 3 liters of water for a month. Here is her picture of her before and after. ITs pretty cool! She totally looks younger and healthier!!
So i decided to say sign me up! I love the taste of water i own 2 water bottles. So what is my excuse? Some weeks i feel like i am totally on top of drinking water and limiting caffeine intake. But then i must admit i have my moments.. when i realize i only had a like a glass of water in the morning and its 9 at night.. what!!!!!
So i am excited to make my own little challenge. I started this week. But guess what tomorrow is November 1st!!! So you all should join me! Who isn’t a sucker for the big before and after picture. Right? If i am honest i am a makeover junkie. Whether its HGTV showing a renovated before and after house or a picture of someones before and after clothing makeover. I totally want to see!!!! What’s in us that just loves that, or am i the only one? Any who just a thought.
So here is what goes down for this challenge!
*Drink 3 liters a water a day. I am doing it in oz so roughly about 100 ounces a day so i plan to drink 5-6 of my 20 oz water bottle a day. ( or more if i am sweating a lot from dancing, exercise, steam room, ect).
* Take a Picture of YO FACE! Going to take a picture once a week. To see what changes i see in my own face, along with what health changes i feel. I am going to go bare face for the event right after my morning shower to keep it all very real :). But if you want to wear make up no worries, just make sure you have the same look so you can see the changes. ( that said go bare face your freaking beautiful/handsome)
* Water Buddy! Get a friend to join you. ( or i can just be me too) The nice thing about the water buddy, someone to go to the bathroom with.. hee hee just kidding. No for reals though, one fun idea is you and your water buddy text teach other a picture of yourself with an empty water bottle. Helps you keep on task and have a little fun… just a suggestion..
Also from this experience, it takes 30 days to form a habit. So my hope is that after November i won’t fall off the water wagon, but it will just become a new addition to my healthy lifestyle.
So who’s with me? Lets do this! Give yourself an early Christmas Present .. so when December hits you will be looking super hydrated for the holiday..
So here my before picture in all my naked face glory! I took it right after my shower.. so my face is a little pinker/red than normal because i like my hot water.. hot hot.. 🙂
The BEFORE! ( took a few pictures really close too, but you don’t get to see those till the after :)… plan to use the same wall .. and right after shower each week.. to keep it nice for comparisons.. close ups and arms length away)
