Like many people, some of my new years resolutions are to be a bit healthier and something I’m terrible at is not drinking enough water. I spend most of my days drinking endless cups of tea and diet coke, but never enough water meaning I’m probably actually quite dehydrated. I’m trying to get back into losing weight, and cut back on things like cake and chocolate, and get more into fitness and healthy eating. Problem is I am literally the worst person at being healthy, and although I know I should be drinking more water, I find the taste really boring and hard to drink.
I then started to see people talking about adding lemon to their glasses of water to make their own flavoured water, and I thought maybe I should give this a go. At first I wasn’t sure how this would make my water taste any better, I like slices of lemon in my diet coke but I wasn’t sure if I would like the taste of it in water. I was surprised when I had my first pint of water at how good it actually tasted, and I found myself filling up my water glass more than I was filling up my cups of tea. Instantly I started feeling better by drinking more water, and the added lemon makes it feel ‘cleaner’, and even puts me off eating rubbish food.
By drinking more water I’ve stopped feeling as sluggish, I feel a lot healthier, and my heads even felt a lot clearer. I’m feeling a lot better now I’m drinking more water, and I’m making a concious effort to drink more. I’m still drinking as much tea, but for every cup of tea I have I make sure I fill up my glass of water, meaning I’m having a good few glasses a day! Are you trying to drink more water? Have you thought about adding lemon to it?
A couple of weeks ago on a rainy Saturday, Chris and I decided to take a trip into London. It’s been a while since we made it into the city, and although we didn’t really have any plans to see anything, thought it could be a fun day out. We headed in early and walked…
Now that our days are (finally) brightening up and becoming warmer there’s nothing I crave more than sitting in outside in the sunshine with something cold to drink. One thing that appealed to me was iced tea. I’ve always been a big fan of iced tea, but I’ve never got around to making it myself….
With the start of the new year, I like many others, jumped on the bandwagon of being healthier and trying to detox a little after the indulgent Christmas season. I’ve never really done a detox before, I’ve always just tried to eat more good stuff and a little less crap, but when I was contacted to see…
My name’s Lisa, and I’m a sugar addict. And I don’t mean your usual I love chocolate type, I mean I’m completely and utterly unable to function without it. You see for years and years now I’ve been abusing my poor body, having had comfort ate for years, along with having a Mcjob for 5…
A few weeks ago now I met up with a few of my Cambridge friends Laura and Pippa, as well as meeting Sophie for the first time. The original plan was for a few of us Camb Meetup girls to meet up and go for lunch, but a few people dropped out so it ended up just being us four. Despite there only…
Anyone who knows me will know I’m obsessed with tea. I can’t go a day without drinking about 4 cups of the stuff. So when Bluebird Tea Co contacted me asking me to review their Chocolate Tea Lovers Box of course I jumped at the chance! I really love making loose leaf tea before I go to…
