Aquafina FlavorSplash Grape

Hubby and I are doing an airport run. Sonny boy is coming in from Cali with my youngest grand baby. I can hardly wait since I have not seen her since Christmas.

Since airport fare is less than gourmet at best and price, LA asked me to pack up some cold drinks and a couple of his favorite sandwiches (pork roll, egg, and cheese) for when he gets off the plane. Picky kid told me that he hoped I still had some Aquafina left. You see he raided my refrig right before he left last week. Lucky for him I still have a couple of bottles of Aquafina FlavorSplash. I have to pick up more next shopping trip.

I originally didn’t think I would enjoy the taste of grape water. I usually go for the berry or lemon. Am I glad that I was wrong! I love the stuff. It’s light and refreshing, not heavy or acidic. It quenches my thirst while sating my sweet side.

At the start of 2009, I decided to do something about my weight. I have lost 65 pounds with more to go. Back them I was always hungry and missed eating. Everyone who has ever been on a diet knows that restricted calories means fresh fruit and vegetables but less, much less than before like twenty grapes (gotta count every one) per serving. Anyway I love grapes, That is why I got a brainstorm. I froze the grapes. That way they were chewable, and I really did miss chewing. Hubby said I was crazy, but he usually says that. The frozen grapes were better than ice pops, healthier too. They still didn’t last long chewing forty times per bite.

Well, I am supposed to drink daily one ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight, which comes to 92.5 ounces or almost 1.5 gallons of water. It’s good for me. It flushes. It fills. I have bottles of water everywhere–in the refrigerator, in the freezer (briefly before going out), even in a cooler in the car. No measuring needed, just four to five bottles daily morning, noon, and night. Now what does all this have to do with Aquafina FlavorSplash? The variety of flavors helps ensure I never get bored with the same plain flavor day after day,
