![]() ![]() I realize that’s my ego talking a little bit here, but it’s still fun to mention the little unexpected things that I didn’t know would happen. My face also looked like it had a little more plumpness to it – if I may use that word. My skin looked tan and hydrated, and the tiny little wrinkles that I’ve noticed creeping up on my face were less noticeable. It’s sort of looked like I had given myself some sort of facial. It’s more that it’s an observation of what I learned and how I had to adjust as I navigated drinking all of this water.Ī couple weeks into drinking all this water, I looked in the mirror one morning and was a little surprised at the way my face looked. To be sure, it was a little like having water for breakfast, lunch, dinner. It was just that in order to consume all the water I needed to, I learned that I had to space it out and one way to do that was to drink water before and after every meal. It kept me from over eating, and it kept me from consuming too many extra calories. I would often have to drink at least 8 to 16 ounces of water before each meal. I feel like that’s what happened to me.ĭigestion overall, seemed more efficient. I liken it to when a car gets its belts, hoses and fluids changed and it seems to have a little more pep. Without giving too much information, let’s just say that food and liquids moved through my body very nicely. My body adjusted to all the extra hydration, and everything seemed to work more smoothly. When I first started, I felt really bloated and full when I was drinking all this water.īut, the feeling wouldn’t last that long before my body would just digest it, and I just went about my day.Īs the month went on, that feeling pretty much went away altogether. I thought it might be a good way to get more water – quickly. I went on a hike yesterday to a beautiful waterfall. This didn’t happen until about a couple weeks in, but it was awesome. ![]() ![]() I mean, I already feel alive, but…it was like I felt younger and ready to go. Y’all, there were times I felt like Tigger from “Winnie the Pooh.” If I’d had an imaginary tail, I would have used that as an annexed spring and bounced all over the place. But still, even after two months of walking over 4 miles per day, adding in the water was the biggest variable – and caused the most noticeable changes. I still continued to walk 10,000 steps per day, which, I think, also gives you energy. Instead of drinking matcha tea each morning, I began to drink chaga tea, which did not have any caffeine. I’m not exactly sure what caused all the gains and energy that I felt, exactly. eating less of other foods, to make the water fit. ![]() no headaches, down from several a month.drinking water begets drinking more water.Benefits of drinking a gallon of water a dayīut now, I want to go over the list of benefits that drinking so much water has had for me over the last month: I also drank grape juice or orange juice in the mornings.īut, other than that, there just was not much room to fit other liquids in my diet. In order to pull off drinking that much water, a couple things had to happen: I pretty much gave up drinking any other liquid, with the exception of chaga (which is non-caffeinated) tea. I have witnessed noticeable changes and differences in physical appearance, energy and more. I can tell you that I think everyone should do this at some point. (As of this writing, there are 4 more days in the month of June I won’t have any problem finishing out the month.) I looked inward in April, decluttered in May, and now I have done a month of detox in June, including abstaining from alcohol and caffeine, watching the news, getting adequate sleep, and continuing with the activities that I started in April for the LIFE Project. You might ask why I might have chosen to do this as part of the LIFE Project.įor this particular month, I chose this as a month of “detox”- both mental and physical. Since June 1, I have been drinking 128 oz. I’ve been drinking a gallon of water a day ![]()
