I've been wanting to drink more water. We all know how good water is for us right? How it is suppose to help us lose weight. The newest idea to come along is to try to drink 1/2 of your body weight in ounces per day. Wow! That is a lot of water for me! How can I drink that much water in a day? Water is boring, right? Since I am staying away from all artificial sweeteners...no Crystal Light for me. What is another option?
I have a solution:My sister and niece surprised me with a gift for teaching her preschool this past year. It is something I have been wanting to help in my quest to drink more water! Thank you sis! I LOVE IT!! Here it is!
They bought me a drink dispenser! I fill it up in the morning with ice and water. I slice up some fruit and toss it in. My favorite is lemon and strawberries. I let it sit for a while and then stir it up good with a wooden spoon. I leave this pitcher sitting on my counter all day long. It looks so pretty and refreshing and makes me drink even more. It's a constant reminder to drink. The ice helps keeps it cold all day. I do not sweeten it. So it's not sweet but has a hint of flavor. It is so good and refreshing!
This has made a huge difference in getting in more water! It is wonderful! I'm craving it every day! My boys even love it and couldn't wait to try it!
Well that is it....that is how I am able to get my water in every day!
Boring water to spectacular water! Try it...you may even enjoy it too!
That is awesome! I was telling my mom yesterday that they should put some slices of strawberries or blueberries into their waters bottles. I love how that jar looks. Would you happen to know where they purchased it from?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! You know when I started trying to lose weight, I threw away my diet cokes and was drinking water with crystal light. I was drinking like ten bottles a day. Stupid me!!! I wasn't doing any better for myself because both crystal light and diet cokes have aspartame in them. I went online a researched it, and found out how bad it is for you so since coming back from the beach I have been drinking only water. This is a great idea, I'll be sure to give it a ty!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I love the idea too. I usually do lemon, but the addition of strawberries sounds wonderful. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat does look beautiful and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteThat jar is awesome! Great Idea looks so refreshing! Will have to try it its been 3 weeks of nothing but water and I am getting pretty bored.
ReplyDeleteyum!
ReplyDeleteLooks Yum! I personally love plain water but I love fruit and water so maybe I should try mixing them all together!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! The sangria of waters. lol
ReplyDeleteI do lemon &/or lime but never thought of strawberries. I've heard cucumber is good, but I haven't tried it yet - I'm afraid it would be yucky even though I like cukes.
Cool gift - love those 'I CAN really use this' type gifts.
