Is it Happy Hour yet? I'm planning on drinking all weekend. Anyone want to join me...Time to drink up!

I woke up feeling great and very humbled this morning.  When I realized this, I immediately felt the need to pose a challenge to myself.  Since I started my fitness journey I have struggled with drinking water…YUCK, drinking what I think is too much water makes me nauseous.   I’ve gotten better but I don’t drink nearly as much as Brent has recommended; 1 Gallon a day, seriously?  That sounds so ridiculous to me.
When I woke up this morning, I couldn’t help but think about people who don’t have access to water like we do.  How selfish am I to complain about not wanting to drink something my body requires when there are so many people in our world who consider themselves blessed if they are able to take in a few sips of it a day?
My challenge is to drink at least a gallon of water throughout the weekend; beginning today and ending Monday.  I know I can do this if I keep in mind those who go without and if I keep in in mind water is a necessity, not a luxury that should be taken for granted.  
With that said, my biggest challenge may not be getting the water down; it may be the staying aware of something I take for granted that so many others lack.
