I have been attempting to make healthier choices. One of the biggest changes I feel I could make that would be helpful is to stop drinking so many soft drinks. I pack one each day that I have to work at the school. I know it isn't overly healthy, but I really don't like water. Finally this week, I saw numbers on the scale that don't make me very happy at all. I remember being in high school, and my best friend's family always had seltzer water on hand. I liked it at that time. I did some research and it seemed to be a good compromise. I thought maybe this would be the solution I wanted.
It is not. At least, not the kind I tried. I stood at the grocery earlier in the week and looked over the various selections. I decided to give a go to the most popular brand name, although it wasn't the one I knew from my high school days. Next I needed to chose a flavor. This proved far more challenging. I don't care for citrus flavors, and those were predominant. I'm a much bigger fan of fruity flavors, so I finally settled on cran-raspberry.
I took a can out of the fridge this morning and put it in my lunch bag. First, having them in cans is a problem because they can't be closed up again. That also means once I open it, it has to remain on my desk because I can't put it back in my lunch bag, and of course that means it is also going to get warm. So, I need to keep looking for another packaging solution. In the meantime, I opened the can and it smelled wonderful. Unfortunately, it most certainly does not taste wonderful. In fact, I kind of feel that it tastes like medicine. I'll manage to find a way to drink this and the seven remaining cans that I've paid for, but clearly this is not the answer I was looking for!
