a gallon a day...

these days whenever i hear the word "gallon" i automatically get a little depressed thinking about how it almost costs $100 to fill up my tank...anyway...the gallon a day to which i refer now is a gallon of water.

jon and i are having a little contest with our awesome friends natalie and richie. we just got back from a little visit with them and we all decided being healthy is a good thing and contests always get the competitive juices going. sooooo...for the next 90 days or so (until october 31 when we see them again for the workshop) we are all going to drink a gallon of water a day. the catch is that if you don't get your whole gallon in, $5 goes in the pot and whichever couple has missed the fewest days of drinking their gallon gets the other couple's money. great idea yeah?

we're on day 3 and the first two days i thought my stomach was going to explode. i looked pregnant and was peeing my brains out. but things are on the up and up and i don't feel bloated anymore and i just feel good. i can't even really describe how it's different, but it's good. i don't feel clogged, i have more energy and i won't go into details of how my body is cleaning itself out.

so yay for water and yay for a photographer-nutritionist-personal trainer-yoga instructor friend who got us into this water war!
