SO I KNOW I NEED TO LEAVE A FEW TIPS FOR THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY I HOPE THESE HELP TIP #1 Our bodies are made up of 60 percent water and every system in the body depends on water to function. Water rids the body of toxins, carries nutrients to cells, and prevents dehydration. However, it is possible to get a decent amount of our water intake from the foods that we eat. In fact, the Institute of Medicine estimates that 80 percent of our water intake comes from beverages while 20 percent comes from food. So here are a few foods that help hydrate you if you can't seem to get in the hw bit of drinking water consistently: Celery: 96 percent water and provides sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc Watermelon: 95 percent water and rich in vitamin C Bell Peppers: 92 percent water and rich in vitamin C Cucumbers: 95 percent water and provides calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium Strawberries: 92 percent water and rich in potassium Cantaloupe: 90 percent water and rich in potassium TIP #2 Set a goal. Whether you’ve been running for years or are brand new to running, setting goals can be very beneficial. Working toward a goal allows you to feel like you are accomplishing something and gives you a purpose for getting in those miles. Whatever your goal is, it should be challenging, yet achievable. If you are brand new to running, maybe your goal is to finish a 5K, or to be able to run for 20 minutes without stopping. Perhaps you want to get faster, stronger, or lose weight. Whatever your goal, set a realistic timeline to meet it and celebrate in a healthy way when you accomplish it. Treat yourself to some new running music, give yourself a pedicure, or buy yourself a new pair of running shorts.
