I decided to participate in a challenge that Fitblogger is doing. Challenging ourselves to a healthier lifestyle.
It's called Step into Summer challenge, you can click the button on the right hand side to read more about it.
So this week - what was my challenge? Water. Water. Water. Drink it. More. More. More.
Have I succeeded so far? To be honest, no. I haven't. I have been getting in about 32 ounces of water. Which - for general standards, that's half of what I should be getting in. But for me, that's an improvement considering I used to only get in about a cup or two a day, max.
So - ideally my goal is to get in 8-10 glasses of water. How can I do this? I'm going to drink my entire water bottle before lunch(so 24 ounces). Fill up at lunch, getting at least 1 serving in at lunch. And then fill it back up after lunch, and finishing that before the end of the day. That will give me 7 servings before I even go home. From there, fill it up one final time, and finish it by the end of the evening - and I will meet my goal.
This will always be an ongoing battle with me, but it might take me two weeks to get into habit for it. So we will check in again on Sunday with my progress, and starting next Monday see if I need to continue or if i'm confident this is something I can keep up.
What do you challenge yourself to do this week, that is making a healthy change in your lifestyle?

For week one my goal is to walk at least a mile each day, but I'm always trying to drink more, so will have that as a goal one week, just don't know what week.
Good luck!
I'm working on my eating. I made water a goal a while back and have gotten a lot better. What helps me is to drink tea too. Much tastier IMO.
I too suck at drinking water. I've been trying REALLY hard lately! (: This week I'm redecorating my treadmill/workout room so that I want to spend more time in there.
