My Structured Water Adventure
#278
07/29/2026

The pretty wee water bottle is still going strong!

Here's to knowing that some of the things we CHOOSE to do won't show us flashy results, water drinking being one of them.

What I DO know, is that I haven't been sick.  It's most certainly chit chatted, but I've yet to get taken down by anything.

Water. Hydrogen Water. Filtered Water. 2L before 2pm. It's all worthy.

What we DO need, is to be STRONG. It can be as simple as walking for ~2 hours each day (yes WAY more than 10,000 steps) OR working in a TRADE! 

If neither of those work for you, then try this 3-5 times a week

5 Squats 

5 Push Ups - Use the kitchen bench

5 Sit Ups - Use a weight to help sit up by throwing it forward

5 Air Squat is MORE than enough for someone that hasn't moved in a few months, let alone years.
