Thought of the day - my daily challenge

 Almost on a daily basis, I will go through my day thinking that tomorrow I will do this, I will do that.  And normally it has something to do with change.  It's often something like tomorrow I'll start getting the house organized like I want it or tomorrow I'll start walking daily or tomorrow I'll cut back on my juul usage.  And then, inevitably, I wake up the next morning and start my day the same way.  I wake up with the best of intentions but then nothing happens.  I get too comfortable in the routine that I have developed.  


So, today I am going to make an effort to challenge myself to do something differently.  And it does not matter how big or small that change will be.  The important thing is that I try.  I may not succeed, but I even cannot fail if I do not try.  


I have noticed over the past few months that I have become more and more dehydrated.  I do not get enough water in my body.  I sweat a lot, even if I'm not being extremely active.  And, yes, there is always that thought in the back of my mind that the sweating may have some underlying cause, but today that is not the focus of this challenge.  Today, I want to see if I can drink mostly water throughout my day.  I have allowed myself to have my morning coffee.  Let's face it, that's not going to change unless under a doctor's orders LOL  And I am going to allow myself one non water beverage during a meal, but that will be it for me.  The rest of the day, I am going to drink water.  


I actually like drinking water. I did not like it much growing up, but now it is one of the things I will crave.  My body will tell me that I need it and it is time for me to listen more.  The downside of it is that end up in the bathroom a lot.  Oh well LOL Still, I enjoy it and need to have more of it in my daily diet.  That is today's challenge to myself.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

That is all
