# Embracing Hydration: My 7-Day Water Challenge
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Challenge
Today marks the beginning of my 100-day weight loss initiative, with a key focus on enhancing my water consumption. Despite having easy access to water, I often neglect to drink enough, which is detrimental to my health. I recognize that I need to express gratitude for this basic necessity and take better care of my body.
Beginning today, June 22nd, 2022, I am committing to a goal of consuming one gallon of water each day. This is my initial mini-challenge within the broader framework of my weight loss project. Research suggests that increasing water intake can facilitate weight loss, although results may vary for each individual. As I embark on this journey, I weigh in at 234 pounds, and I'm eager to see the impact of this hydration challenge over the next week.
Section 1.1: Daily Water Intake Schedule
To help me achieve my goal, I have developed a timetable:
- 8:00 AM: 16 oz (This will be ready in a water bottle by my bedside)
- 9:00 AM: 16 oz (One-quarter of the way there! Keep it up!)
- 9:30 AM: 8 oz
- 10:00 AM: 8 oz
- 10:30 AM: 8 oz
- 11:00 AM: 8 oz (By this point, I will have consumed 64 oz, or half a gallon.)
- 11:30 AM: 8 oz
- 12:00 PM: 8 oz
- 12:30 PM: 8 oz
- 1:00 PM: 8 oz (Almost there!)
- 1:30 PM: 8 oz
- 2:00 PM: 8 oz
- 2:30 PM: 8 oz
- 3:00 PM: 8 oz (Woohoo! One gallon down!)
If I adhere to this schedule, I should successfully meet my daily goal. I understand that some days may be more challenging than others, but this is all part of the learning experience.
