I is for Ice Water


OK, it's not the first healthy thing that pops into one's mind, but there's nothing healthier or more refreshing than good ol' water!

both from Pinterest - no sites attached  :(

I personally drink easily 100 oz of liquid a day, and I can tell if I don't get as much as I need.  My gums will feel odd and I'll have a metallic taste in my mouth - yuck!  

I start out with a 16 oz glass of water with strawberry Crystal Lite.  Once I get to work, I have a can of Coke Zero (Weight Watchers counts it as a liquid!!) Then over the course of the day, I'll refill a 20 oz bottle at least 3 times from the drinking fountain.  Once I get home, I'll have at least another 2 - 16 oz glasses, sometimes with Crystal Lite, sometimes with sweet tea Mio (good stuff!!) and maybe another can of Coke Zero at dinner.  

Do YOU get enough to drink??

  2. I love water. If I'm without my water bottle, or as my children call it "Mom's sippy cup," I'm out of sorts!

    1. LOL, I have a sippy cup, but its a wine glass! I do carry a water bottle, mostly at the gym or when I know I won't be close to something to drink.

  3. all my classes in nutrition have told me that fluid and water are not the same animal. Even Water (unfiltered) from the tap is not good for you as it is filled with heavy metals that over time build up in our circulatory system ( as well as poisons like arsenic.) I almost died from drinking tap water laced with arsenic.
    Diet drinks are packed full of chemicals that leech on your immunity (among other things). Did you know one can of your coke zero flat lines your immunity for 8 days? I'm not as up on your crystal light but I do know the long list of artificial sweeteners have been found to be carcinogenic. Drink water! the kind that has the impurities filtered out - your skin and body will thank you.
