I’ve had a GREAT week drinking more water! The difference is pretty profound, both in my performance level and in my wallet. I ended up drinking about 80% less carbonated beverages and actually found myself craving Crystal Light over my usual drink.
The one thing I noticed a significant change in this past week was sleep quality. I have pretty frequent bouts of insomnia, mainly because my mind just won’t shut down: so much to plan, so much to do, so many projects I want to tackle. When I lay down in bed, that is often the only time during my day that I have a bit of quiet with my thoughts so they tend to take over.
This past week, however, I slept deeply every single night. It was stunning. I’m not sure if this was due to being properly hydrated for the first time in a decade or more, but since that was the only change I made, you gotta wonder. Also take into the account the amount of caffeine I normally ingest versus drinking only Crystal Light and I feel pretty confident the water made the difference.
I did fall off the wagon a time or two and go back to drinking diet carbonated drinks (As a lifelong Alabamian, I can bring myself to say “carbonated beverages” but just can’t form the word “Soda”!) but when I did, I felt at once sluggish as a result. I know this was a psychological thing and I’m not quite sure at what point I decided to go cold turkey to Crystal Light this past week but it did happen at some point and I’m awfully glad I did.

Great!
Coming off of a rabid caffeine/carbonation was not easy. Thank goodness for Crystal Light Energy! I discovered the individual packets of this in Wild Strawberry and used them to flavor my bottled water when out and about or to start my day off. They added a bit of caffeine to help me get over the hump.
Will I give up my carbonated beverages? While I don’t see myself giving them up entirely, I have cut down from eight to ten a day (I know, that is an awful number) to one or two a day and my water intake has increased substantially. I am easily meeting or exceeding the 8-10 glass recommendation.
My skin looks better, my energy level is better, my sleep is better, and my overall performance is definitely at a new high – which I’m gonna need!
Water has made a difference and I’m won over.
Now, how about one of you being a winner? Last week’s $500 Visa Gift Card giveaway had over 540 entries. I used random.org to draw a number and the corresponding comment belongs to: Jackie Medows!

Just watched your video. Want to try Texas Caviar. Sure could use a $500 gift certificate.
I LOVE our well water and drinking it over any bottled water! I have enjoyed Crystal Light for many many years. It goes just right with our country well water.
I truly believe drinking all that water, eating our fresh home grown vegetables, lots of honest hard work have kept our family out of doctor offices for over 30 years. Rarely sick. Thank goodness!
I drank a whole lot of water and Crystal light when I read about this giveaway because that $500 would be exactly the amount we need for that new tractor tire on our ole Case farm tractor!
I talking about lots of water. I think even Jack the donkey and Miracle Eve the spoiled goat would drink to that!
Have a great day.

Hey, Christie! Hubby and I had to work outside in the heat yesterday and the day before, building shelves in a storage shed. Having the Crystal Light and cold water in the fridge really saved our lives! Hope you have a great day!
Drinking 8 glasses of water a day has always been a struggle with me. Of course, in the summer I usually find it less difficult, but this summer in New England has been different and it has been so wet that adding more water has not seemed appealing! I have been using Crystal Light, as I have been a big fan for years and now that they have the green tea with antioxidants I even feel better about drinking my Crystal Light. I carry the small individual packets in my purse and keep a box in my desk at work. I always have a picture of Crystal light in the frige.
One of the biggest things I always notice when I am properly hydrated in the glow and moist look of my skin, especially on my face. You can put all sorts of moisturizers on your face but if you are not hydrated on the inside it is not as effective. My skin feels great. I also enjoy a good nights sleep when I drink my 8 and since I run/walk, combined with stretching, it eliminates those leg cramps!
I love my Crystal Light!!
I drink a half gallon of Crystal Light Decaf Lemon Tea a day! I love the stuff. It is much better than plain water but I still have to have my morning Dt. Coke for a boost of caffeine in the mornings!
I am so obsessed with Crystal Light’s Cherry/Pomegranate drink that it’s now hard for me to imagine a time before drinking 8 glasses of water a day. I quit drinking soda completely and have not only lost weight but feel better and don’t miss it at all.
I felt less guilty because it was less sugar and calories, but I will never be able to give up Cokes entirely. The Crystal Light was great though, getting me to enjoy drinking more water.
