Getting Your 8 Glasses A Day

Friday, August 21, 2009

I am the first to admit that I am a diet coke addict and am bad at drinking enough water. Although I know I'll never be able to give up diet coke, I am still at least trying to reduce it and get in my 64oz of recommended water a day. There's just one problem - I hate water. I really only drink it when I am really thirsty after a run.

So, I use drink mixes to make the water more appealing to me. My faves include:

OceanSpray On the Go Cran-Pomegranate Juice Mix - 5 calories, and it has 100% RDV of Vitamin C.

Crystal Light drink mixes - I especially love the lemonade mix.

Propel drink mix - this is also a good way to save $, so I don't have to spent $1.50 for a Propel from the machine at the gym, and can just buy cheap store bottled water.

Hope this helps others who are trying to get in their 8 glasses!
