The Begining
Hey world!!
Today I want to get into detail about the beginning of my lifestyle transformation.....drinking more water!!
I took supplements and did see results at first, but the bad diet and unhealthy nutritional decisions I was making only made my body plateau. The supplements made it difficult to gain weight, but my bad diet didn't allow me to lose weight, so I basically stayed the same.
The supplements that I prefer call for you to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, so I began to comply with that suggestion because I felt like it would amplify my results....and it did!! This is a huge deal for me because at my worst I was 229 lbs, drank a case of Pepsi within 2 days and absolutely never drank water.
It took some getting use to, and there were plenty of slip ups, I would drink one Pepsi and that was it!! I like to refer to Pepsi as my liquid crack because I get so hooked and it is so difficult for me to quit. I eventually got over that obstacle but created another when, in my attempt to avoid water, I became an Iced Tea and Lemonade addict! Realizing that the only way for me to thoroughly cleanse my body I HAD to drink more water, I purchased carbonated flavored waters. I know this is still not water but it was where I started. I drank these until I eventually got over my Pepsi, Iced Tea, and Lemonade addictions.
I bought bottled waters and eventually began tracking how much water I was taking in with the intent to drink a gallon a day!! I immediately began to see results, my energy levels spiked and my skin was glowing and radiant.
There are so many health benefits to drinking water and I suggest that you purchase a water bottle that you can refill so that you can track how much water you're taking in...set a goal that you know it attainable. I chose to set the goal of 2 liters per day when I first started now I drink about 4 liters per day.
