I couldn’t agree more except this is where I hang my head in guilt with my diet soda addiction. I’m a 4 pack a day smoker in that metaphor sometimes anyway! Curious about your water kefir too! Luckily I do LOVE water. And I’m with you on the alcohol leading to eating whatever and as much as pleased. Danger. For this reason (and probably this reason alone!) I am able to keep my intake reasonable.

I lived in Phoenix one summer and I think it helped me to learn to carry around water too! It also introduced me to my favorite pizza ever at Oregano’s! I love that place!

[…] 4. Order water or unsweetened tea. Occasionally, I’ll have a glass a wine but most of the time I prefer not to drink my calories. […]

I’ve always been a water girl, especially because I’m from Phoenix, Arizona. I just got in the habit from a young age of always carrying water with me. I had experienced serious dehydration and after that I kept it with me. You never know what traffic will be like (no a/c), or if your car is gonna overheat and you have to wait for help, or if the bus will be late, etc. LOL — I think there would be less road-rage in Phx if everyone had water with them! My European husband and his family used to laugh at me for always bringing water — that is until one time when they were parched and very grateful I packed water for them, too.

As soon as I’m done with this (long azz series! Ugh!) I’ll do a post on water kefir. I love it SOOOOOO much!

Oh man, I guess I wasn’t clear about the low-cal or no-cal drinks. I thought I made it clear in the soda section but I guess not….sometimes I afraid of offending people that I pussy foot around my opinions and it comes out muddled. :-/ Yes, I totally agree. I was referring to drinks like water kefir and kombucha as low cal and water and teas as no cal. Ha ha…about the stevia! I do that too!

I love this: “Iâ€™m convinced that sodas are going to be the cigarettes of tomorrow.” Totally agree. Although I have to say that I’ve recently changed my stance on low-cal or zero-cal drinks. With the new research that’s come out about how bad the artificial sweeteners are for your health, now I try to stick with unsweeted herbal tea or plain water. If I’m desperate I’ll throw in a little stevia..

I agree wholeheartedly! I occasionally drink lemonade and beer or wine (less than weekly), but otherwise the only caloric beverage I drink anymore is unsweetened almond milk in my rooibos.

And I’m so curious to know how you make water kefir… it sounds very intriguing!
