Challenge #4: Water Only At Restaurants

Okay folks, this is it for the first month of challenges!  If you've been playing along, then you should take some pride in the fact that you are now up to at least 3 whole glasses of water a day - at the least! If you're swapping out your calorie-filled 'other' drinks, then you should also be happy to know that you are saving yourself over 1 pound in calories per week!!

For week #4 I'm asking you to do one more daily concentrated effort to drink more water.  There are two ways to go about it. 

1. Only order WATER when you go out to eat from now on!  Seriously, this is so easy...and it's saving you some money, too!  Money and calorie savings = Win! Win!

2. Simply drink ONE more glass of water daily.  Already, you are drinking one glass first thing in the morning, one glass of water after dinner, plus one additional glass at a meal.  Just drink another one in between to make an even four glasses (at the least) per day! 

Once you're in the habit of drinking 4 glasses per day, you'll be drinking more in no time at all.  KEEP IT UP!!!

This will be my last post for a while focusing on increasing the amount of water you drink per day.  That means, it's up to you to keep up the good work from here on out!  So, I'll leave you with a few reminders about why this H2O stuff is sooooo darn good for you:

From the Mayo Clinic:
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body: 2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal
organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

Water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.
