Drink 8 ounces of room temperature water upon rising.
This will be easy for lots and a real challenge for some. Whichever category you fall into, try to faithfully do this each morning of the new year. Read the 'Breakfast' article for more details of why this is so good for you.
A few things to work on this week while drinking your water.
1. Drink out of glass, not plastic.
2. Drink room temperature or lukewarm water, not cold or
iced water.
3. If you possibly can, drink filtered water, not tap water.
4. Drink your cup of water before having anything else
(including coffee).
5. Try to wait 15 to 30 minutes before eating or drinking
anything more.
Put a sticky note on your bathroom mirror or bedside table or refrigerator to remind yourself to drink your water. It is a great habit to develop. For those interested, I will provide more details and tips throughout the week concerning each of the above suggestions.
Advanced Challenge for those already drinking a cup of water upon rising:
Choose a set time each day and drink a glass of water. Perhaps select 2:00 or 3:00 p.m., during your afternoon slump when you are tempted to have an unhealthy snack.
If you are just beginning the weekly challenges, please be sure to read the posts under Weekly Challenge - In Adance.

God is Living Water. I've been starting each morning with God and water. It does start my day on a perfect note.
