Water Logged

I have the wonderful privilege to live with my grandmother. She is pretty amazing in some ways but in some ways she if flat hilarious. She is always comparing today’s world with “back in the day”. We talk often about each of these daily challenges and she always has something to say. For most of the challenges she say, “Oh Serene, I don’t know about that”.

Today’s challenge was a major “Oh Serene” moment. For today's challenge you will use the following water calculator to see how many ounces of water you need to drink a day. (And Drink It!) For me, I am drinking 200 oz of water every day. Along with food journals please keep track of the amount of water you consume.

When I told my G that I was going to drink 200 oz she thought I was crazy. “Back in the day, each house would get one pale of water for the entire day. I’m pretty sure you are doing good at three 8 oz glasses of water for the day.” Ladies and Gentlemen, grandma is wrong. We each need well over 24 oz of water a day.

Warning: You will have to use the bathroom SO much at the beginning.  I was even waking up in the night, not cool! It really does get better. It also helps if you have a water bottle and can keep filling it up. It makes tracking the ounces that much better.

Belly Up!!
