5 things the #H20challenge taught me
/
1. I strived to drink 70 oz. of water every day for 30 days, eliminating caffeine and soda. It turns out that 70 oz. is totally possible and once I started drinking more water, I wanted more water.
2. I have the power to break my addiction from caffeine. I have never gone more than a 14 days without caffeine since at least 2007, maybe earlier. The first 2 weeks were most difficult (see also: headaches like woah, moody pants all day, foggy brain) but the more water I drank, the better I felt. Coffee is now something I can enjoy but don't need. Woop.
3. I started this because I have never been a good sleeper and my iron is often low and it turns out, less caffeine, more protein can remedy a whole bunch of maladies in my life. Funny thing, that. Fringe benefits: leaner waistline, no coffee spills on my clothes.
4. Accountability is so clutch. All my peeps who joined me chugging the h20--you made the difference. I didn't want to fall off the wagon because I knew you were cheering for me or running the race with me.
5. I think the dark circles under my eyes faded a bit, don't you? Please just nod your head and hand me that latte, won't you?
