Pledge To Drink More Water With Me For A Chance At $500 from Crystal Light!

Life isn’t slowing down for anyone. My own life seems to have the fast forward button permanently pushed in and with trying to keep up with work, my house, and the ever blossoming social life of my kids, most mornings it seems like my day has started without me and I have to hit the ground running just to avoid being left in the dust.
Since we can’t slow our lives down (I’m gonna assume you have all tried just as I have!), our other option is to try to be in our best form. One of the key ways to do this is also one that is so simple it is often completely overlooked – especially by folks like me who have a habit of grabbing a drink from the fridge and paying little attention to how many tin cans pass through my hands during the course of the day. Ready for it?
Drink
More
Water.
Seriously, it can be that easy. Need more motivation? These figures made me really sit back and think:
50-75% of our bodies are made up of water
Blood is 95% water
Skin is 70% water
Our brain is made up of 75-80% water
(THAT’S where all my brain cells have been going, they’ve been dying of thirst!)
~blinks and picks her jaw up off the floor~
Wow. Please hold while I go drink a glass and issue a formal apology to my body…
Did you also know that being dehydrated (which I can pretty much guarantee I am right now) can cause joint pain, lethargy, and irritability? Drinking enough water can help eliminate all of these problems and add more benefits such as improved concentration, too! It’s simple really, our bodies function on water, rely on water, and when we don’t give them enough water we can hit some substantial ruts.
So why don’t we drink enough water? Well I have one complaint about water. It tastes like…umm…water. Seriously. Can you get more blah?
This is where Crystal Light comes in. ~smiles brightly~
I’ve been a Crystal Light drinker ever since it first came out. That was back when Linda Evans did the commercials (We followed Dynasty, too). Honestly, Crystal Light is about the only time I do drink water, but I still haven’t been drinking enough – not by a long shot. Did you know, though, that people who drink Crystal Light ended up drinking an average of 20% more water than folks who just drank their water plain?
At this point in my life, I could use a little high performance and I think drinking more water might be just the boost I need to help me accomplish my goal of feeding the world homemade banana pudding.
So for the next week, here’s the drill
Water…
Dump…
Stir…
Enjoy.
Come on in, the waters fine!

I pledge to drink more water and will also drink more Crystal Light! I fooled a dear friend YEARS ago with Crystal Light Lemonade Mix. He would only drink Fresh Lemonade!! I mixed up some Crystal Light Lemonade Mix, poured it into a pretty glass pitcher and added thinly sliced lemons. Took it down the hill to him, (he was a close friend and neighbor)and he drank every ounce of it while raving to his wife about the true joy of Fresh Lemonade! We never revealed our’secret’ and his wife began using Crystal Light Lemonade whenever he ask for the “Real Thing”!!!
Thank you Christy! It gets downright blazing here in Northern California and if your not drinking enough water, you feel it. That’s why I add Crystal Light to my take-along bottle to make sure I get enough throughout the day and have plenty stocked up at home! Thanks again for reminding us the really amazing benefits water can do for us!
I am really trying to drink more water. I know I feel better all over when I do.
My husband and myself drink Crystal Light (in both the tubs and packets) for the past year. He quit soft drinks and so I followed him. The only other drinks I have not given up are Ice Tea and Coffee. But daily we take our three packets (each) to work and I make bottles to keep in the fridge at home from the tubs.
At work my favorite is the Peach Mango Green Tea and my husband enjoys the Peach Ice Tea -but we have at least five different flavors each week so we don’t become bored.
We feel much healthier only having a soft drink on occassion but not on a regular basis. In fact, the last time I had one I didn’t much care for it anymore. (I wish the Crystal Light options had more clear color flavors that tastes as yummy as the colorful ones -when at work …my red lips from the Raspberry Ice gets a little hilarious! Hah
This is the easiest pledge to keep because I love water. So yes I pledge to drink more water.
Great pledge! I hereby pledge to get my daily requirement of water. BTW, my favorite Crystal Light flavors are the Peach Tea and Strawberry/Orange/Banana! 😉
