my fascination with braids continues + a water challenge :::

oh my goodness, more braids.  i love the internet.  i know what i'm doing this weekend.

1) marley, post cornrows; 1) succulent recovering from being nibbled by our cockatiels.

in other news, my husband and i attempted a water challenge this week.  the challenge was to drink only water for 5 days.  eat normally, just replace sodas, juices, teas, coffee, alcohol, etc. with water.  

i failed.

a friend brought over a bottle of wine, and he has very good taste in wine, so...

plus i drank yerbe mate twice.  at least twice.  

but.  i did drink more water than usual (challenge ends tomorrow night, btw, haha.  love that i'm blogging about this now as if it's already over).  i also noticed that i was hungrier than usual, so i stuck more closely with the eat-five-small-meals-a-day rule. Rather than filling in with mugs of coffee or tea, i'd grab handfuls of nuts and raisons, apples with almond butter, things like that and water, of course.  

i think i'm going to try again soon.  anyone else up for the challenge?
