Happy New Year friends!

I was hoping to post a somewhat easy challenge to get us kick started, but then realized the one that I think we will all benefit from if we change nothing else...is actually a really hard one! This is a challenge, so here goes:

DRINK ALL YOUR WATER!!! (I'm really only yelling at myself) ;o) I'm terrible at this, especially in the winter. However, when I do drink at least 8 glasses/day I can tell and feel the difference! My skin thanks me, my hair and nails thank me, and most importantly all the sodium and bad choices (eh, a few glasses of wine) I might make, are constently being flushed out.

So, cheers to hydration!

    I can agree with this one. Over the holiday weeken I had all my water in and felt great. Day 1 back to work and I got half in and noticed a difference. Love this challenge and will work hard at it.

    Great challenge, drinking enough water is a challenge for me. I'm just not thirsty...ever. Unless when I'm working out ;0) So I'm going to make a point to drink at least my 8 cups while at work, as if I was at the gym.

    Slacked on this yesterday because I walked away and forgot my trusty water bottle at home and today I have it sitting here but haven't filled it yet....UGH!!! I know there's water in the large hot tea I drank this morning but it just isn't the same.

    Great idea for the first challenge. I have been doing OK with this the past few days but when I go back to work it's harder - the water cooler is oh 5 steps away from my desk!

    Water, water, everywhere.....:wink:

    I'm with you - I'm on a general detox ... no alcohol; one cup of coffee; all water I can get. Had a great lime juice, ginger, sparkling water mocktail tonight - was a great, refreshing treat and was one more glass of water down the hatch!

    It's funny...I'm in another challenge and our challenge Jan 1-9 was to drink half our body weight in water so I'm good for this first challenge. I guess I'll just stay in the bathroom!

    Great Challenge! I really struggle to get my entire water intake as well. I usually start of good at the beginning of the day, but then I taper off. This will encourage me to get it all in!

    I like this challenge, as drinking water has never really been a problem for me. I have one of those 25oz CamelBak Better Bottles that I bring to work, and I end up refilling it at least once (often more) a day. I figure with that and the water I drink at meals or during and after a workout, I'm easily getting at least eight 8-oz glasses of water daily.
