Since this little social experiment is soon to be underway, I should take the time to delineate what exactly the rules are. It's pretty simple really:
- I am only to drink water for the next 3 months.
- This means no juice, no alcohol, no coffee, no tea, no pop- Just water.
- This DOES NOT include soup or milk, which can be used for cooking, in cereal or drank outright if the carton is getting close to the expiry date.
-This also does not include herbal tea for the purposes of preserving my voice. I do a lot of voice over work and sometimes you need to baby your vocal chords! That being said, drinking a lot of water is good for that too.
- Once the first 3 months have elapsed, I may choose to participate for another 3 months. If I hit a year, then I'll throw a party, or something.
- At the end of the 3 months, I can reassess any rules
-I'm allowed one cheat day per month. They carry over but cannot be taken in advance.
Now, while I've given myself a fair amount of wiggle room in there, I am aware of that and want to be as strict as possible with myself. Which is to say, I've basically set this up to be fairly easy, with come concessions that I'll hope not to use. Who knows how that will actually play out though.
I guess the final rule is that this challenge officially begins when my last juice box is empty. It is currently sitting in my fridge, half empty. The game begins soon!
