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.

My problem with water is “no taste”. I really need to drink more water, so I pledge to drink 8 glasses a day. Crystal Light should do the trick.
I like Crystal Light in the peach iced tea flavor. As a retired nurse, let me also add to water’s benefits the fact that it helps stop constipation woes. My mother would have said that is not a ladylike topic but it is a true fact!
Thanks for reminding me of the importance of drinking more water, I know I don’t get enough daily, so starting today, I am changing my drinking habits from tea, to Crystal Light(love it).
Distilled water is what I love … tastes clean, tastes like nothing, doesn’t taste like the stuff you could cut with a knife that comes out of the tap this time of year here – and isn’t just some other place’s tap water put in a bottle, as so many bottled waters are.
Crystal Light is a nice treat, but watch out for those artificial sweeteners in something you want to drink a lot of. Try some distilled water… and not the old jug you’ve had for your iron all this time, that’ll just taste like the plastic it’s bottled in. Buy a new gallon of distilled. Put it under your desk. Get a nice glass or sport bottle, something you want to look at. Fill it with the water. Drink it down. Feel great. Repeat ad libitum!
Thank you, Lord, for the wonder of water! Thanks for all you do, Christy, you beauty!

What a great promotion! I need to drink more water. I have never really considered adding flavoring, like Crystal Light to make the goal attainable. My pledge…drink 8-8 oz. daily…with flavor! How cool is that?!
I have been on the Crystal Light bandwagon for years now! In fact, I would have to say that I am addicted to it! I take a 64 oz jug of it to work each day and drink the whole thing. (If I could find a bigger jug that would not look so obnoxious, I would do that!!!) I also order water at restaurants and wait for the fun to begin when the waiter/waitress comes back with iced tea for my refill!!! Or they come back with water and get a confused look on their face when they see my glass filled with tea. It confuses them every time!!!! I am the “go to” person if you want a pack to put in your drink. I normally carry about 20 of them at a time in my purse…we wouldn’t want to run out, would we!!!!! My back up stash is about 20 containers and about 18 packages of the singles, of course, all bought the southern saver way!! I challange everyone to bring their Crystal Light into their local restaurant and watch the fun begin!!!
(My personal favorite is PEACH!)
I see you found a glass picture for your tutorials yeah.
I pledge to drink water more than I am now. I already drink lots of water.
