Courtney's Summer Challenge: Week 3
Staying hydrated is vitally important to your health and well being.
Courtney's Summer Challenge moves in to week 3! Your challenge this week: Stay Hydrated.
Courtney wants you to beat the heat and help clean your body of toxins by drinking a gallon of water each day. Don't like the taste? Follow her lead and drop some fresh citrus slices in your glass or pitcher! She also recommends filling a gallon jug of water and carrying it with you, so you never have an excuse when your glass is empty.
Week 3 Prize: DIR T-Shirt and Free Wholly Guacamole
Participate in the challenge by posting below. It could be your progress, success, hurdles, or even encouragement for other participants. We'll draw one winner to receive a shirt and some tasty guac, announced week 4.

I actually made bracelets. One bracelet = 16-20 ounces depending on what I am drinking from. Goal is to move 5 bracelets from one wrist to the other! :)

I have been drinking so much more water ever since I read Mama Crozier's blog on the topic a few weeks ago. I carry a plastic double insulated cup around with me wherever I go now, and people know me by my cup. It's awesome to be defined as a person who cares about healthy living! Drinking water has helped me lose 20 pounds, and I'm not going to stop drinking it even when I reach my goal weight! This is a new, healthier lifestyle that I'm loving from the way I'm feeling :)

Just found this site, so happy I did! This is gonna give me the motivation to keep drinking my water. I gave up diet pop in Feb. of this year and sometime I struggle with getting all of my water in! Thanks for the recharge!
