Get Your Cups & Bottles Ready -- Water Challenge Coming May 8-19!

Water, water, everywhere! Get ready to get your drink on May 8-19!

How to Participate in the Water Challenge
You will record your daily ounces of water by your participant number that will be assigned to you when you register. Deadline to register is May 8 at 2:00 p.m. After you register, Katie Streff will send you a Google form where you will record your daily entries.

In order to be in the drawing for a Fitbit flex, you must record at least 75 oz. daily. You are not required to drink this amount to participate in the challenge in order to earn your points.

How much water should you drink?
Daily recommended water amount: drink 1/2 ounce for every 1 pound of your weight, every day. That’s .033 liters per 1 kg you weight.


Examples:

Half of 150 lbs. = 75, so 75 oz./day
Half of 250 lbs. = 125, so 125 oz./day
Half of 68 kg x .033 = about 2 liters/day

Half of 90 kg x .033 = about 3 liters/day

Why am I doing this?
Resetting your body is all about undoing years of bad habits and less than perfect health choices. As you’ve heard a thousand times, drinking lots of water is critical. As part of the Wellness Challenge, you can earn your points while flushing your system and creating more energy!

What's the big deal about water?
The Earth is 70% water. Your body is 80% water. It stands to reason that water is some pretty important stuff – right? Water is the body’s transportation medium. It’s how it moves EVERYTHING around to different parts of your body. Water is used to move nutrients to the 100 trillion cells in your body. Water is used to move waste and toxins from your cells to your kidneys, to leave your body. Water is used to wash fat from your body. These things have to get out somehow—they don’t just evaporate away! So water moves good things around your body, and water moves waste, toxins and fat out.
