That week went fast for me. It was a great week to be a part of this challenge as some of my days were so busy it would have been easy to not exercise. Being accountable to this challenge really helped me get out there.
As we go into this week's challenge of drinking 64 oz. of water, I just wanted to post some of the benefits of water to your body, from mayo clinic. Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 60
percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water.
For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries
nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose
and throat tissue. It also regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, helps prevent constipation and helps dissolve minerals and other nutrients to make them accessible to the body.
