Here's the next assignment from the "Caveman".  I was a bit surprised to see another email from him this morning.  Hoping you are all getting something out of this :)

Hey Proud CavePeeps!

Are you walking around without enough water to flush out your system and remove toxins from your mucsles? Here's an easy way to check...

Using your thumb, press down on your shin midway between your knee and ankle for several seconds... when you release if there is an indent that lasts for more than a second or two chances are you're dehydrated.

Within the next 24 hours and continuing for the next 5 days your objective is to drink 1/2 an ounce of water per pound of body weight... that means if you weigh 200 lbs you must 100 ounces of water daily.

Here's a simple way to keep track daily... use the same size container and keep track of how many ounces you've consumed... for me, I find drinking carbonated Perrier or Arrowhead work good and I drink 4 per day. Good tasting and easy to keep track of.

(a sneaky trick -- drink at least 8 oz upon waking prior to breakfast)

So... here's how we score this contest... just go to the Cavepage daily and upload your current body weight and the amount of ounces consumed.
Go and drink up!

Stay Strong. Stay Paleo!

PS. - drinking water will help with recovery from the workouts (yes- there WILL be more!).

PPS. You can only count water for this phase of the contest.

I'm excited to say I did the thumb test and I am not dehydrated.  I increased my water intake a while ago and it has really made a big difference.
