Week 2 of the Summer Slim Down: The Wonderful World of Water

Week one of the Summer Slim Down is in the books! We hope that this week has been helpful in getting you focused on your health journey! Remember to keep your goals in mind during the entire challenge! If you ever notice yourself starting to go back to bad habits, really focus on your goal and remember WHY you're going on this journey. Use the resources you have- reach out to your teammates! 

Week 2

This week's challenge is to drink 100 ounces of water each day! This will be difficult for some people, and easy for others. Whichever it is for you, just remember it IS doable! You got this!! 

Why are we doing this week's challenge? There are many reasons why water is just SO good for you; it helps your skin, makes you feel more awake, and makes you feel more full! When you feel full, this can help deter you from snacking on calorie packed foods! Not only does water make you feel more full, it also will make you make more frequent trips to the bathroom- making you get up and move! It's a win-win! :) 

How can you get in 100 ounces of water each day?! 

• Bring a water bottle with you everywhere!
• Track how much water you have had by putting a rubber band on the bottle every time you drink it all!
• Create a schedule- Mark on your water bottle how much you should drink by a certain time!
• Hate luke warm water? Fill your water bottle half full and freeze it! Ice cold water for hours!
• Bored of plain water? Try some of these infused waters! 
• Try and get 50 ounces in by noon
• Get rid of all of the soda and sugary drinks in your house! No access=no temptation!
• Try apps like waterlogged and daily water to track your water consumption! 
• Order something spicy- you'll need some water after eating that!! 

Remember that you can do this! It will not only help you feel better, but it will help you shed the pounds!
