Today was an interesting day, I assumed that trying to get enough water was going to be a little bit of a challenge. I was a chaperone for the 2nd grade field trip today, what an exciting day. The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was make me a bottle of Crystal Light Energy! I figured that any "extra" source of energy I could find would be useful today!
I took a disposable water bottle on the field trip with me, that way if I got distracted and it got left behind it wasn't a big deal! I put two packets of Wild Strawberry Crystal Light Energy in my back pocket. I love the On the Go packets because they are so convenient and you can take them anywhere!
Honestly, I really did feel an energy boost from the Crystal light Energy. It's a healthy alternative to the other energy drinks out there plus is has virtually no calories!
Even with everything that was going on today, I managed to drink 9 glasses of water. That's a few glasses less than yesterday, but overall a great water intake day in my book!
Did you know that a typical 12 oz. soda/pop contains the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar? Water has zero sugar! Replacing one soda/pop daily with water can cut 3,650 teaspoons of sugar a year from your diet! Now that's something to think about! (source: a bottle of Arrowhead water)
As I stated in yesterdays article, I'll be tracking my progress over the next week and sharing my experience with you. I'll be adding a new post each day, ending on June 2nd. I'll also be linking to my previous articles in each new post!
The Eight Glasses a Day Challenge has started, are you up for it? Even if you have one glass of Crystal Light or water in place of one glass of soda/pop - you're making a positive change!

Way to go Bridget! I made my goal while I was grocery shopping but I'm still thirsty so I'll be exceeding it! I like the packets too, they really are convenient.
You reminded me that I wanted to link my first post. Gotta go do that!
thanks for sharing..
It sounds like the Crystal light energy really works!
I love Crystal Light. I drink it every day at work.
Good job with it :)
I am glad you were able to get 9 glasses of water in.
Great job, Bridget. I still want that energy one, will try again today to find it here.
I'm getting a steady 2 glasses, which is better than I've been doing but not really where I want to be.
