Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
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.
