Water is boring!!

I find water very boring. I know that Seattle water is better than most (if you don't believe me, try drinking tap water from Provo, UT). It isn't that it tastes BAD, it is just bbbllllaaaaahhh! I like excitement in my drinks!

I found my perfect solution! When my friend Sean came home from Iraq we went to the "welcome home" celebration at Ft. Lewis. It may have been the hottest experience of my life (and I am not talking about all the men in uniform!! I think it was 120° in there).

Notice how sweaty we all are???

Megan and I had to stand in front of this fan to cool off...

the cute guy was an added bonus for Megan

Of course Sean coming home was well worth it. But I also learned something awesome that day. The celebration was held in a gym of what I am assuming is a fitness center for everyone on base. They had soda machines outside the gym... with no water in them. I was really feeling dehydrated so I decided I'd get a Powerade®. They only had Powerade Zero™ available. I had no idea what that was, and I was so hot and thirsty I didn't care.

To my surprise Powerade Zero™ was awesome! ZERO calories, ZERO sugar and 100% wonderful!! I am pre-diabetic so I have to watch my sugars, that is why I don't drink regular soda and I stay away from sugary drinks like Powerade®/Gatorade® unless I need the electrolytes.

So Powerade Zero™ solves 4 problems for me.

1- I get my daily water

2- doesn't taste boring

3- No sugar

4- Keeps me hydrated
