It All Adds Up

Dear FlyLady, 

Yesterday I was thinking about something. I have a terrible habit of drinking lots of Diet Soda. Several years ago I decided if I was going to drink soda like I do I would have to also get the same amount in water per day in as well. I am not a big fan of water and don’t like to drink it.

I started buying cases of plastic water bottles and counting out how many I had to get in per day. I knew that In order to get my water in I would have to drink 4 of the 16.9oz bottles per day. This was about 1 full case of water per week. I was buying 5 to 10 cases at the store at a time.

Well for years I had heard people talking about the FlyLady water bottles. I have several other metal bottles I used for when I would ride my bike or hike. The ice would melt within 30 minutes in the heat that I live in.

I ended up getting a FlyLady bottle on one of my trips with FlyLady and I decided to use it on my bike ride next time I went. I was gone for several hours on my ride and was completely blown away that the ice never melted. The ice would last almost all day in this bottle.

I ended up ordering several more bottles and gave them out as gifts. I use it in the winter for Tea and Hot cocoa and it stays hot for hours. I use it in the summer for cold water and it stays cold for hours. Just yesterday I added it up. Over the last 2 years my FlyLady water bottle has saved me from using over 2500 plastic water bottles. I figure this has helped the environment in a big way as well as save me a whole bunch of money. Even as I write this I am drinking from my water bottle. It’s a great investment.
