So back in January I was determined to lose weight. I had seen a bunch of my friends around me losing all this weight with the 21 Day Fix. What I liked about it was everything was spelled out for you, recipes galore, no complicated or time consuming calorie counting. One of my friends is a coach, an awesome coach. Been doing it for over a year and lost a lot of weight. Tons of energy and always encouraging.
So I did it for 4 months. I lost 12 lbs and was feeling great. My family and I are headed to the beach his summer and I was determined to have that beach body (no pun intended). Then my depression kick up. It was bad. To the point that I could barely get myself out of bed in the morning much less do my exercises. I felt like everyone and everything was against me. I also don’t have a whole lot of support in my house. It’s basically you’re doing that that’s cool, you didn’t buy junk food that’s ok I’m gonna make a junk food run and hubby comes in with 4 grocery bags full of stuff like iced tea, donuts, bags of chips, etc. When I would have my cheat meal I’d get “I see you’re not doing so well with your diet” even though it was allowed. I let the depression beat me. I let the negative comments get to me (which is easy to do when you’re in the downward spiral of depression). Didn’t help that my pharmacy insisted they didn’t get my anti-depressant/anti-anxiety refill request via the app even though they received my UC meds that were all put in on the same order.
Well I’m trying really hard to lift myself out of the depression. I’m trying really hard to take steps to get back on the 21 day fix because I did feel good about myself when I did it. I also felt good, period. I had more energy, my clothes weren’t tight, I felt accomplished.
Well one of the things about the 21 day fix is water intake. They push that hard and for good reason.
I got a 6 pack of 18 oz glass water bottle from Brieftons to review. I noticed that the mouth was wide enough to be able to add small or crushed ice cubes. It was plenty big enough to add just about any fruit or herbs one might want to add to the water. I thought, ok I didn’t get this review by chance. Six 18 oz glass water bottles. Fill ’em, Chill ’em, and drink ’em and get my water intake. I’m gonna do this again.
Now regular ice cub tray ice cubes are not going to fit in here. These ice cubes are from the ice maker in my fridge. They’re more of an oblong shape. Crushed ice will, of course, fit. I also made up a water bottle with some ice, a lime wedge, and some raspberries. that worked out fine too. Not gonna lie, I had to use a spoon to help me get the lime wedge back out. In future uses I will probably cute the lime or lemon wedges thinner and just add a couple then.
These glass bottles are made well. The caps are stainless steel. The 6 pack comes with a bottle brush to make cleaning them easy. The bottles are dishwasher safe but they recommend the caps be hand washed.
These bottles are a good choice for anyone worried about if plastic bottles are truly BPA free.
