May Challenge!

Monthly Challenge

For the month of May, I will be abstaining from beverages other than water. Which means for the month of May, I will not have the following items (just some of my favorite items):

• Green Tea
  
• Hendricks & Tonic
  
• Old Fashioned
  
• Jameson
  
• Beer
  
• Wine
  
• Milk
  

Sounds easy? Try it with me then. I dare you. No coffee. Sorry soda-drinkers, put the can down.

During the month, I will attempt to keep the blog updated with obstacles I face, benefits to drinking more water, and maybe even a haiku, as I miss doing those.

After speaking with some friends about the challenge we've established that if it is customary in the United States to consume any questionable items with a spoon then it is okay. So, if I'm so inclined, soup and cereal would be fine. But if there is extra milk, cereal must be added. Whether or not a smoothies and shakes are also off limits was a subject of fun debate, but they are also banned.

If invited, I will still go to dinners, socials, and gatherings where various types of beverages are served, but during the month of May, I am drinking nothing but water.

Happy (Mimosa Free) Mother's Day!
