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?

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

  1. You know, sometimes you sound just like me. Or should I say I sound like you? LOL I don’t drink enough water either unless I am outside and dying of thirst. But, we don’t realise that our bodies crave it indoors either. You can think you are hungry and get a snack, but it’s really your body saying it’s thirsty.

    So, lately I have been using the peach tea Crystal Light packets for water bottles and I love it! I will pledge to drink at least two – three bottles of Crystal Light a day for a month and see how my body feels.

    Great idea!

  2. I do pledge to drink more water! I try to drink at least 3 or 4 glasses (30 oz) of water a day. Usually before I eat, because it makes me feel full and I don’t eat more. Also, drinking water will cleanse your system out. (At least the bladder!) LOL!
    I have not tried Crystal Light, but, after reading this, I am going to try!

  3. I will certainly take the challenge to drink more water! I really try to drink it more but sometimes, it is just hard to get as much water down every day that I should. Crystal Light taste so good that I can mix it in a bottle of water and have it down in no time. Another favorite thing to do is to mix Crystal Light Lemonade mix with cottage cheese… OMG… it taste like lemon pudding or pie. I love it! All of Crystal Light flavors are wonderful… Peach Tea is to die for too! Thanks so much for a wonderful product!

  4. I pledge to drink more water. Crystal Light is so good. We mix the fruit punch and orange with one part water. Good stuff!

  5. Another great benefit to drinking water is that it tends to make you feel full thus cutting down on snacking. My best friend and I were talking this morning about how easily we are gaining weight now that we are in our 40’s (okay, mid 40’s) then I opened this post. I am pledging to drink more water for at least the 30 days and see if that doesn’t cut down on some of the snacking I do while sitting at my desk and I will ask her to join me in this pledge. I keep crystal light packets for water bottles in my cupboard all the time. I just forget to use them.

  6. I pledge to drink more water for a week. Water is my favorite drink anyway, but I don’t always drink enough. This will help me to drink what I’m supposed to drink.

  7. I drink water all throughout the day. I love to put a little pep in my step by adding a Crystal Light packet to my water bottle.
