What I'm Reading This Week #13
Friday is finally here! Can I get a woot woot?! (Cheers to those who actually did it.) The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam! Friday. We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday. The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys! Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no. We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house. Soon enough I guess. You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway. So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get. Enjoy. š I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...
It definitely helped me out when I was needing a boost but not sure I'd have to have it again. The coconut water was a nice surprise but ultimately the sugar content is still more than I would want to have unless I purposely want a sugary drink, in which case I'd go for a cola or root beer.
ReplyDeleteThe hubs drinks Powerade and Gatorade a lot and every once in a while, if I've mowed the lawn on a really hot day, I'll drink a cup of it, especially if I feel my blood sugar dropping. I had a bit of heat stroke one time last year and it helped very quickly, so I like that we have it on hand. I like the lemonade kind and Gatorade has a Citrus Cooler in the summer that is quite tasty. I keep all these drinks on had for the garbage/recycle guys and it cracks me up how they each have their favorites. lol I'd be willing to give this kind a try, especially with the coconut water which is a neat twist.
ReplyDeleteI typically don't consume sports drinks, but my boyfriend does, especially during the summer. He suffered from sever heat stroke in the past and likes to have it on hand now. He seems to have a preference for Gatorade in a variety of flavours. I've consumed some of it in the past, usually in the summer after a long day out on the boat or when I'm hung over after consuming too many adult beverages the night before. I prefer Orange Gatorade, but I'll take what I can get when hung over. I will also cut it with 50% water, as I find it way too sweet to drink at full strength.
ReplyDeleteI can't drink any of the ades or bai. Something in them makes me physically ill. I guess I will stick with water and do my best to keep dehydration to a minimum. And I have tried straight coconut water and found it disgusting.
ReplyDeleteCan't stand the amount of sugar or the artificial flavors in sports drinks. They are handy when you are recovering from illness and years ago I switched to pedialyte, then more recently found a homemade recipe that gets the job done. It's a little orange juice, a little lemon juice, and a little non-sodium salt, all topped off with water. I can adjust the flavors based on how I feel and what I want to taste. Works great when I've spent too much time doing yard work. But sports drinks are so over-hyped and unless you are doing serious activity over a long period of time (more than an hour), you don't really need them.
