52 Small Changes

I recently bought a book that is called "52 Small Changes".  It is about how I can make small changes each week over a year to live a more happier life.  I want to do this and I hope that I continue.

I read Week 1 today and plan to implement it starting Monday, although it is something that I already do on a regular basis.  I'm hoping to keep this as a journal to that success story, along with exercising and eating right.  I've also kept a running log of my weight which is at the top.

Okay, so week 1: Drink UP!

This chapter was interesting because of the actual amount of water that I need to be drinking.  I've always heard 62 oz everyday.  But this author says that you should take your weight and divide it in two and that's how many ounces you need each day.  Well, let's see I'm 160, divide that it's 80.  That's a lot of oz!  I don't know if I can do that, but I'm going to try.  I installed an app on my smartphone to remind me each hour to drink up.  I have to have ice in my water and drink through a straw so I'm hoping that I can accurately see how much water I actually consume.

So, let's do this!  I'm ready to start!
