Welcome to my journey

Hello readers,

My name is Christianne Lessard, I am 25 years old and I want to welcome you to this blog. I'm hoping you are excited to join me in this new journey I am about to embark on. Does anyone here feel like they don't drink enough water in a day? I know I sure don't! It's not that I hate drinking water I just never think of doing it throughout the day often enough.

Well in the next 5 weeks, I am going to figure out what the impact of drinking 8 cups of water every day will have on my physical health. My ultimate goal is to physically feel better in my everyday life and start living a healthier lifestyle. I hope this project will encourage me to drink more water and to see if this can stick with me for the long run! Are you all ready to follow me on this water journey?

Here are some of the things I learned, enjoyed, and struggled with, and what I would change about this experience. I’ve learned a couple of things during the past few weeks, drinking water has so many great benefits for your body. I learned that I had lots more energy throughout the day not as tired and I noticed my skin was not as dry at the end of the day. I found that I was more alert, focused, and happy when I drank enough water. At the end of this challenge, I tried to make drinking water a bit more fun by adding some fruits and substituting water for some herbal teas. These variations made me look forward to drinking more water. Something I enjoyed about this was seeing all the small positive changes to my physical health.
