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!

Don’t know if you tried the Crystal Light bottle packets. I love them as they are so convenient to use. I keep bottles of cold water in the refrig and since I don’t always like to drink plain water, I just open a bottle size packet and empty into the bottle and off I go with a nice cold flavored drink. I do like my plain water at night for some reason and always have a thermal glass with ice next to my bed for nighttime sips.
I have totally given up soda, so I drink a lot of tea and water. Some days it is hard to get the water down, so I tried Crystal Light in a 24 oz. cup and even add water to that and staying hydrated is a snap. some good coupons would be nice. I love the variety of flavors and buy a new box or two every time I hit the grocery store. I found that store brands are not as good and the money you save is not worth it.
Yummy! I love Crystal Light & I love drinking water. I will definitely drink more…I am officially thirsty after reading this post!
I love Crystal Light!! Just bought some Original Lemonade yesterday.
So much better than the others….

I love Crystal Light and I love water. Nothing quenches a thirst like a big tall glass of either ice water or water with Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade. Delicious! I drink a lot of water, but pledge to drink even more!!!
My daughter-in-law brought a variety of Crystal Light on the go packages to the lake last week. She is trying to kick the soft drink habit. It reminded me how much I love those CL packages, so I decided to join her in drinking more wonderfully flavored water, too. I have lost a pound this week and that is the only change I’ve made. Go, Crystal Light!!!
I have been trying to drink more water, and I think taking a pledge with this great bunch of people will help motivate me! Thanks!
