So I went home and dug through the cupboards looking for just the right water cup–one of those plastic, reusable ones with the straws (straws help me drink more of just about anything…not so good when it comes to cocktails, but GREAT when it comes to water!). I even filled it with lemons and ice to keep it flavored and cool.
What a difference! I don’t feel as tired anymore, and I don’t snack as much (when your water tastes good–try flavoring it with Mio drops too!–you don’t feel the need to snack on whatever’s lying around). It’s a lot easier to make it through my shift when I’m well hydrated. Sure, it means more bathroom breaks, but that’s a small price to pay. Even my skin feels better now.
So lesson learned: wanna feel great, hydrate! It’s amazing what you learn when you least expect it. Now excuse me while I go fill up my water bottle!
