I did it!

Tomorrow marks the last day of the month and the last day of the water challenge! I have to say that I faithfully drank 65 ounces of water every day except for 2 this month. One day I had a stomach bug and was scared to drink a lot of water for fear that i wouldn't be able to keep it down....but I was so dehydrated the next day that I drank even more. And one day I didn't meet my goal be she's I was just lazy! Yes, I have those days! Overall, drinking so much water wasn't too hard and now I just do it without thinking. I definitely think I have more energy and felt fuller too. I will definitely keep this up! For February our challenge is to keep your sodium intake to less than 2300 mg per day. Our bodies definitely need sodium to balance blood pressure and blood volume, but too much is not so good. The problem is the added sodium in processed and fast food, not the salt found naturally or good for us, sea salt (full of minerals and iodine). I was researching certain foods and their sodium content and I was shocked! 920 mg in a multigrain bagel with cream cheese at Dunkin Donuts! Stay tuned for more awesome info about the good and. Ad about sodium this month and join us in our challenge!
