Do You Do Flavored Water and Try New Things?

I'm sitting here waiting on my son so we can go to the Tri-cities together. He wants to do some school shopping without the kids along. I bet he saves a lot of money. I wrote down some recipes that Tonya on Instagram shows for high protein and low carb. I already do the cottage cheese taco bowl. It's so good. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put her IG name. Time to freshen up on the rules. She lost over 216 lbs. I want to say 260. Very upbeat. Silly. Funny and does a lot of fun water flavors. My little pantry is full of sugarfree syrups like Mermaid, Lavendar Lemonade, Salted Caramel, and Unicorn. I also have a bazillion (OK, exaggeration) flavored water packets. Green apple, Sonic's cherry, lemonade, strawberry, Tang, and more. I mix some with some iced water and oh, it's so good. I'm rambling while waiting. How is your day going? I've been playing catch up and will more tonight. Have a blessed day!

I like water with a squirt of lemon juice. (No sugar) It helps to keep me hydrated in summer months.

I like to make homemade lemonade but usually have to add Stevia. My grandma used to do lemon water every morning.

Yes, Pretty buys the flavor packets. She has boxes and boxes of them in one cupboard in the kitchen. I can drink a little of it but then my tummy rebels at the artificial sweeteners in them. It's hot outside again and very humid here. I hope you're enjoying your day.

@noni1959 It stormed here so the temp dropped. We're supposed to get more rain/storms this evening/night.

@DaddyEvil It's hitting the high temps this week. I'm prepping to go to my son's since this travel trailer will not cool enough for my cat. 109 outside will be at least 90 inside. It's how TT's AC's work. Heading out in a few to run errands and then load up before the temps hit this afternoon.

Always nice to hear of some gal actually able to lose some weight. We have been getting the flavor packets for out water lately. Even I get tired of just plain water after a while. I drink a lot of it this time of year.

@noni1959 ......Always good to try. I gave up on all that years ago. I eat what I want whenever and if I die tomorrow I will have lived a good life.

@celticeagle I am concentrating on healthy vs weight but if I lose, bonus. I am 64 with a lot of health issues so working on what can help though not a cure.

She works hard at it but she did have surgery. You can gain it all back as my ex-daughter-in-law is finding out. You have to keep going. I am trying to do a makeover to lose more. I get tired of plain water too.

I wonder what Mermaid and Unicorn tastes like! I drink just plain water for the most part, but in the mornings I have a zap of apple cider vinegar. If I run out, I might do lemon.

@noni1959 We make shaved ice at home and use syrups for that - yah, even a little bit of syrup is pretty sweet. I do the water - then green tea - but on weekends we have coffee.

They are really good and sweet. Just a tiny bit goes a long way. I have to do coffee in the mornings before I have anything. I'm trying to get into the habit of water first.

@much2say I would love a shaved ice machine. It would be awesome to make snow cones.

I hope I don't get in trouble. She goes by takingmylifebackat42. She just did a nacho using bell peppers. My son grew some huge ones this year so going to try it.

I used to use Mio to flavor my water, but it’s not really hard to get me to drink water anyway, so I only bought it a couple of times. Losing that much weight is quite an achievement! Congratulations to her.

I haven't heard of Mio. Right now, I'm drinking regular water before bed. I like it cold.

In an effort to try to drink more water, I drink circular, which claims to be sugar free, delivers on flavor without feeling to sweet and strong.All in all not really all that bad, if I'm being honest.

I use Cirkul. I can't afford many of the cartridges, but my son buys in huge quantities and gives me a few. When I want to make up something different, I mix up my fun flavors. Other times, I don't dial the flavor in my Cirkul and add flavor.

@noni1959 These are my favorites, especially the Lemon Elderflower.

I would drink flavored water sometimes that I can get at the grocery store. But now, I just drink lemon infused one.

I buy bottled sparkling water and I add one slice of lemon (or lime), no sugar, nothing artificial.

I’ve never cared for flavored water. Wow, that’s a big weight loss.
