Game On Challenge

I have recently joined 59 other people to do a 6 week health challenge. We started this on Jan 6th, this last Monday. So I am on day 3 today. We have certain things we must do everyday that allot us points. Here is a break down

• We have to stick to a meal plan of our choice (I chose a no sugar/no white flour plan)
• We must drink 3 Liters of water a day (no soda.. I usually have a coke almost everyday)
• We must workout for at least 20 minutes a day x 6 each week
• We must accomplish a new healthy habit each day (mine is to floss/brush 2x a day)
• We must meet our goal on breaking a bad habit each day (only playing games on the computer no more than 1 hour a day)
• We must get 7+ hours of sleep each night
• We must report or contact other players each day

So far I have had a perfect score each day.
I joined this challenge to try to get healthier, I am hoping to have a baby one of these days and would like to be healthier when it happens. I have always struggled with my weight and am tired of putting of helping myself. I miss out on too many things because of being overweight or get embarrassed in certain situations (good example: when trying to ride the bat at the Lagoon, I had to squeeze into the seat, barely making it)

So I am motivated and on my way to a healthier me.

Mom's Pure Wisdom and Wonderful Water

Mom's are just full of wonderful helpful wisdom. Growing up I always had a closer relationship with my mom and it has continued into adulthood. Mom was the one I would call when my heart was broken, when I was hurt, when I landed a terrific job, when I got engaged. I wanted to share all of these experiences with her.

one thing she has always advised me about was to drink more water.
and how perfect that today I wanted to talk more about water.

I recently went to a blogger get together at the Spa Atlantis where they treated us with mini massage and also taught us many things about our skin and health.
After talking to the acupucturist she told me that my body was completely depleted of water.
Oh boy was she right on the money. I am horrible about drinking enough liquid in general let alone water. I am lucky if I drink 50 0z of anything a day.

So now I come to the exciting part.

Nestlé® Pure Life® is challenging people to swap one sugary beverage a day with water for a year to cut 50,000 calories from their diet, and then share their family's story of healthy hydration on the Facebook page mosaic. Come check them out and "like" there page.

I have set myself a goal of at least 80oz a day. Wish me luck.

For mothers and future mothers it's important to teach your children while there young to drink water, it will help them keep healthy. they will thank you later.

How refreshing does this water look. 

Happy Hydrating!!!
