At first I could only do half push-ups. Just kept trying and bam! I can do it now. Good for arm muscles if you need an incentive!

How I did it
It made me
Not Thirsty 
How I did it: I just made a decision to do it and I don't regret it at all. I feel better, have more energy, and gave up sugary drinks/soda. Not Perfect Note: I still drink 2-3 cups coffee and green tea each day. Read how I did it…
It made me
hyper typer

I’m going to keep doing this. Missed about 4 days … and on those days I chose to comment on photos from people I didn’t know on flickr (better than not doing anything.)
