These sound like just what I need in the afternoon. I am outside from 8 a.m. to around 4 p.m. everyday (and at the beach
so most if it is in sun). I find water is still the best thing but I really don't like drinking
water. I force myself to drink by giving myself permission to have other drinks in between. So for every 2 bottle of water I get one bottle of "other".
And yes, many of them do contain small amounts
of caffeine. I find a small amount is beneficial.
I don't drink Gatorade (because I find all the flavours vile-tasting). There are now lo-cal versions of Monster and Rock Star, which I kinda like and DH finds vile tasting.
I also brew up ice tea (water, spice tea and stevia), bottle it in glass containers (recycling!), and drink one of those
every day.
I monitor if I'm drinking enough by how much I'm peeing. It's a good guide to keeping hydrated, easy, and portable!
TGIF!!!
