Dry Kidneys Part 2

Since the flavored carbonated water was such a fail I decided to move on and try something else in my great search to find a drink that I can ACTUALLY sip on all day to prevent dehydration. This time I went with Gatorade.

I chose Gatorade because it happened to be on sale at Publix lol. That and it only has 80 calories per 12 oz. It is not too sweet like juice, it is supposed to be super hydrating, and there are lots of flavors too.

I am not so happy about all the dyes and the fact that it is not calorie free but hey it's better than soda or high calorie juice.

Day one went ok-ish. I poured about 24 oz and took it with me to work I ended up drinking prolly 18 then Anthony drank the last bit when I got in the car after work lol.

Today is day two and it is going bad. This is only because I have a UTI and I am sort of uneasy about drinking a lot as it will REALLY make me have to pee. I took the medicine for it today and I think that is helping. I poured about the same amount for today maybe a little more and I still have not drank any of it. And it is all ready 12:30 half way through the day. I am hoping that I can down at least half by 5 pm.

I think all in all I can do Gatorade. Do I love it? No. Is is do-able? I think so. Guess we shall see how this pans out and if I can stick to it or not.
