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!

I tried a few of the energy ones, but the flavor wasn’t for me… Didn’t see strawberry though. I’m a bit sluggish today, but I ran out of crystal light and hijacked some diet pop… I can’t stand tap water! I usually even filter water for my crystal light, but was out of filters as well… I need to make a trip to the store apparently!
I have noticed a difference drinking more water too. I feel much better. I have cut my carbonated drinks down to one per day and I plan to keep it up! Thanks Christy!!
I have been drinking Crystal Light for years and recently converted my whole family! Buying soda can be expensive and addicting. I felt that it was not good for my children. So we drink Crystal Light. We feel great! We always have a cool, refreshing drink on hand without having to run to the store.
My parents were visitng for 3 weeks (from FL) and I converted them as well! They ran out to buy some before heading back to FL! I’m sure they’ll tell all their friends as well.
Crystal Light is amazing. It’s packable, it’s yummy and it’s better for you than soda…we are definitely a Crystal Light family here in Michigan!
I have done great! (If I must say so myself.) I love Mt. Dew and like you I drink ALOT of it. I used this week to cut myself down. I drink 1 Mt. Dew a day and Crystal Light the rest. I have found the I just feel better. (who knew?)The upside for me is that I have also managed to lose 2 lbs. I am proabaly drinking about 2qts. of water a day. It is hot here right now we’ll see if I can keep that up once it cools off.
I have been drinking LOTS AND LOTS of water, and I now know that my bladder does work! Sometimes in overdrive! But, I have noticed that my skin is clearer (a word?) and I am sleeping better.
Also, when I did drink a soda, I was really thristy afterwards for water! I found that I preferred to have the water with Crystal Light Flavors!
I have been drinking loads of water this week. It has been so hot here and thanks to Crystal Light and their many flavors, you can get in your water with a lot of flavor variety. I have noticed that I have more energy, feeling better and am more alert since I have been increasing my water intake.
The more water I drank, the more water I craved! *smile* SO much better than all of the soda I love to drink. I feel better, skin feels better … it’s fantastic! I’ve promised my teens that I will invest in the “go green” stainless steel water bottles for them to take to school. We are all doing better with more water!
My teenage daughter loves the Crystal Lite packs … Mmmmm!
