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!

One of the keys to losing weight for me is drink less Diet Coke and drink more water. I love my water with crystal light!! I am restarting weight watchers this week (another weight loss key) and am pledging to drink more water!!
I will join in and drink more water. I need to lose weight so badly and have tried many times until a bad day comes along and I’ll grab a coke and then I’m hooked again. I love Crystal Light and have many flavors at home already. I buy the drink packets for my sons who really love them. My problem is I just love Coke (Dr. Pepper actually but call everything in a can coke!) Anyway, I promise that starting right now I will pass up the cans and begin drinking the water. I loved the strawberry ade, would that count?????
I love Crystal Light, and I totally agree that you will drink more water this way, especially if you don’t like the taste of plain water.
Have you tried the Sunrise Tangerine Orange? Fantastic! And you get your vitamin C and calcium.
I’m on for the challenge – drink more water! Tracie (daughter) has me hooked on your site – so happy she got me started. There are so many flavors that I just dump into a bottle of water. I’m even going to record the number of bottles I am drinking per day. Thanks for your wonderful website.
I agree with you on this. I know I need to drink more water and will pledge to do so. Of course, adding Crystal Light makes it that much easier 🙂
I love Crystal Light!!! Been drinking it for a long time now. The “To Go” tubes come in very handy also. I use a tube of that in an empty Gatorade bottle, and always take it with me when I leave the house. I usually drink about 2 quarts of water a day, then a tanker or two of Crystal Light, and about 4 cups of coffee. So I actually get enough liquids, but I give a big THUMBS UP to Crystal Light for such a great product!!!
