Little Push 5 Day Challenge: Water Day 5

Phew.... there are only so many things you can say about drinking more water!

BUT I hope that this week you have been motivated to drink a few extra glasses.

The last thing I wanted to share was this water drinking chart I came across along my journeys...

Thanks so much for participating in our Little Push Challenge!  And please share it by Repinning the posts in Pinterest!

Little Push 5 Day Challenge: Water Day 3

5 Ways to Drink More Water

1. Don't purchase any drinks.  When you are out at a restaurant, don't order a soda.  Keep it to just water.  Don't purchase vitamin water, soda or juice for your home, because lets face it if the soda is in your fridge chilling your less likely to choose water.

2. Drink at least one glass of water for every alcoholic drink you consume.  (good for preventing a hangover too!

3. Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to drink a glass of water every hour.  Even if you only drink 6oz every hour you will consume 48 ounces in an 8 hour workday!

4. Purchase a water bottle that holds the amount of water you need to drink in a day.  Or one with the ounces listed on the side so you know how many to drink each day.  My Shakeology shaker cup holds  25 ounces so I know that I need to drink just about 3 per day of water.

5. Add mint leaves, slices of strawberries, lemons or limes to a pitcher of water; serve chilled.  Keep a jug in the fridge so you always have great tasting and great looking H2O available.

Little Push 5 Day Challenge: Water Day 2

I found an interesting info graphic on the effects to your body without enough water at

Mind body green.

Whether I eat too much at lunch and suffer a classic food coma, or have a horrible night's sleep and feel groggy the next day, I've learned the hard way that I need to manage both my diet and sleep to avoid the extremes. But there's one other crucial component of health that just doesn't get as much attention: Water.

We've all experienced what it feels like when we don't drink enough water. We're groggy, hungry and typically just feel off. But did you know that not drinking enough water can affect your skin, eyes, weight, hair and nails, too? Staying hydrated is so important. Whether you drink warm water and lemon each morning or find other ways to drink more water, the facts below will likely motivate you to boost your hydration 

So don't forget to drink up today!

Little Push Challenge: Water Day 1

Water consumption, how much and why it's important.

Water

Hydrate and Cleanse your body by drinking Water.

Take your body weight in pounds and divide by two. That number is how many ounces of water you should drink every day.

For example: 
Lets say you weight 150 pounds.
Divide that by two and you get 75
- so you need to drink at least 75 ounces of water to keep your system properly hydrated.

This is the step people seem to take for granted. But in conjunction with improved food intake and exercise, hydration is the catalyst to flushing out the bad stuff and keeping your body healthy. Given that we're 60% water, keeping the tank full is crucial to keeping all your body's vital systems working. It also helps you feel full during the day.

Crunch the numbers and comment below how many ounces you will be drinking each day.
Then at the end of each day everyone will post in the group to check in at let us all know how they did.
