🍶Water Gallon Challenge vs Fluid Gallon Challenge ☕🥛🍹

Water

Yes, it's important 

We each critically need a certain amount of water to stay optimally healthy. 

I won't argue that 

However . . 

For many of us, myself included, a gallon in and of itself is more fluid than we normally consume in an entire day! 

So trying to still sip our truly beloved coffee ☕ seriously cuts into that gallon of water. 

What if we compromised? 

What if we did a 

"Fluid Gallon Challenge"?? 

I propose we simply count the total fluids we consume each day 

I am thinking I'll write mine down so that I have a visual hard copy tally to look back on 

This way I can see not only how many total ounces I'm drinking 

{Need 128oz/day} 

I can also see where those ounce are coming from

How many are actually water 

Tap 😝

Bottled 🤔 

Rain 😊  

How many are other options 

Soda ☣️ 

Coffee ☕ 

Milk 🥛 

Juice 🍹  

This, rather than force-feeding myself water, will give me a clearer picture of my real fluid intake, it's impact on my health and any changes I'd like to make

Rather than a fad challenge 

This becomes a personal journey to better health

🍶Water Gallon Challenge ~ day 15

🍶16 oz strawberry vinegar water 
🍶16 oz water 
🍶8 oz vanilla ice cream 

    This project has been a bust . . although I must say I am way more aware of my water intake, or sever lack of!! One thing I can say for sure is that, as usual, when I share with anyone about my current diet/weightloss attempt I don't loose . . in fact I often gain due to the pressure. 
So, yes, I'm going to continue the Water Gallon Challenge . . and I may update you periodically . . but I'm no longer posting daily updates . . I will also continue drinking the vinegar water and am realizing I have somehow stopped eating yogurt daily so that will be remedied immediately . . I am looking more at how I feel and my overall size vs my weight . .
What are your favorite tricks/tips for getting in shape? Do you look more at your weight, size or how you feel?
