Kristen’s Healthy Living Journey

by Cascade Ice on March 9, 2011

The Flavorful Life is featuring several “healthy living journey” stories from Cascade Ice fans around the country, where guest bloggers tell us their thoughts on how they face challenges and come up with new ideas to pursue better health and fitness lifestyles. The following is a post from Kristen Morgan of Port Orchard, WA.  

It was many months ago I decided to kick the soda habit, only I didn’t.  My friend and I had decided we wanted to be healthier, drop a few pounds and I knew my soda habit was a little out of control, considering it was about the only thing I ever drank.  I tried several other flavored waters and water mix-in packets.  They were either too sweet or left a weird after-taste.  But while at the local Puyallup Fair last year, a booth caught my eye.  The very nice girls at the booth let us try several different flavors before purchasing a refreshing drink.  And so, my love affair with Cascade Ice began.

It wasn’t until several months later, just after the New Year, that I saw them in the grocery store and decided to buy some more and give my New Year’s resolution a fighting chance.  They were on sale for a $1 each so I grabbed a few.  It wasn’t until a few days later I reread the label and realized there were only 2 calories and no sugar. 

I am now hoping Cascade Ice Waters will be able to help me kick this soda habit and drop those few pounds I am looking to lose.  I know I am going to have fun trying all the flavos and kicking sodas to the curb once and for all!
