Two days ago over beers, I asked someone, “Hey, are you doing #60for60?” One person at the table gave me a thumbs up and another asked what it was. My response, “Well, it’s a challenge to do drink more water on twitter.” I almost chuckled when I was quickly asked what Twitter was. This conversation was turning interesting because I am always surprised when one of my friends is not on “the Twitter”.
At the beginning of the month, I started a health challenge started by the No Fizz CLT non-profit. The challenge started as drink 60% of your weight in ounces of water. That was a lot of water so the group cut back and asked for 60oz of water for 60 days. Via Twitter and word of mouth, @bodemuro and @NoFizzCLT asked followers and friends to take the challenge. I joined and even started a few weeks early in August.
The challenge has been great so far. For the first two weeks, I found that my body was not absorbing the water very much but now, I find that I eat less, I drink less coffee, and I have more energy. Is it because of the increased water? I don’t know but I do know that there appears to be a correlation. Jill is doing the challenge too but she always drinks a lot of water so it is easier for her. I found that I forgot to drink the water so I downloaded an app Water Your Body to force myself to keep track. It’s a very simple app and it helped me break into drinking water.
So, I’m almost a month into the challenge and I give it a thumbs up. Feel free to follow @NoFizzCLT to get more info.
