WaterAid Just Water Challenge 2.
I am now well into my second week of drinking just water - woohoo! I am very lucky to have the support of Alan who is doing it with me, which helps enormously.
On day 2 I had the detox headache, which wasn't fun. Then on day 3 to 5 I had the detox body aches, which were awful when I stopped moving! I was fine all the time I was busy but as soon as I sat down or went to bed my legs ached dreadfully from my ankles to my hips and I just couldn't get comfortable.
Happily, now I am in week 2 all is well and I am beginning to feel the benefits.
Surprisingly, I haven't missed drinking tea - or anything else - at all. What I do miss is the ritual of making a nice pot of tea when I get in, or after dinner. For me it is such a comforting, nurturing, caring thing to do and just pouring a glass of water doesn't feel the same, even though I know that it is doing me more good (and helping others).
I am unsure what I will do about this when the month is up as at the moment I don't feel the need to drink tea, and may not go back to tea or other drinks in February. However, I want something that feels as cosy and pampering as making a pot of tea. What will I do with my lovely tea cosies that I love to make and use?
I am sure the answer will come, but for now, I am enjoying the water.
