30 Day Water Challenge


I began the water challenge with a couple of my coworkers. Along with the water challenge we challenged ourselves to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle by working out, eating better and staying active. These ladies are amazing and really kept me motivated to lose that extra pre-pregnancy weight I’ve been putting off this past year.  We challenged ourselves to drink only a gallon of water every day (includes black coffee, tea and infused waters) for an entire month.  On a regular day I drank my 8 cups of water plus a couple cups of tea, but this challenged pushed me to drink more and actually stay hydrated.




Now, I know what most of you are thinking “You can have too much water you know..” And yes I know that, however the girls and I drank the gallon of water throughout our entire day. We stretched it out so that we didn’t have too much water in one sitting. We labeled our gallons of water and made sure we hit our mark and stay motivated. We helped each other keep accountable even during the weekends. 



I'm really bad at sticking to something, but 30 days later I’m living proof that it can be done and that it actually makes a difference! I feel less bloated , more awake , my skin is clear and glowing a bit. I do crave sweet drinks now and again and I did give in during this challenge once or twice, but other than that I didn't do anything crazy. I've been doing the Bikini Mommy Body Challenge along with my water.  I missed some workouts due to being sick and got back on it. Water helped me so much and I will continue to lug around my motivation jug around to keep these amazing results.

Getting back into the swing of things...

A month or so has passed (give or take :) ) since I've written on here. I know in my last post I was so eager to update the following day, but I know that I should hold off. The positivity in my life in this moment is through the roof. Good things are happening because I'm not counting on the bad to happen. The positivity has also transformed my happiness as well as the overall feeling in my home. Everyone believes that ANYTHING is possible. How amazing is that right?

In my last post I've said that I was working on not being negative and to think before I say anything bad about anything/ anyone. Needless to say it has worked wonders! Now don't get me wrong. It was EXTREMELY difficult at first to get use to the idea of not just blurting out the first negative/hurtful comment that came to mind, but after I started to catch myself I noticed that it was soon to become routine. Now I don't even think about it. Some things are truly better left unsaid.

I've dialed back on the yoga almost everyday at The Studio this month. Reason for the latter was me not being able to justify the price of my yoga membership along with my Anytime Fitness membership. (It was REALLY pricey). So for now I will stick with the donation yoga sessions on Saturday morning at Wingfield Park with The Studio. As well as going to Yoga at Anytime Fitness every Monday morning at 6:30. I think between the two yoga sessions and going to the gym I will find the perfect balance of gym and yoga. All I honestly care about is staying active throughout the week since my job isn't the most demanding job in the world.


Until we meet again...


PEACE & LOVE
