Summer Coolers

Well, I don't know about you but it's blistering hot here! After a rather decadent honeymoon where I definitely indulged in too much alcohol, sugar and fried foods I am back on the healthy wagon, and it feels great! I don't know about you other endo sisters, but I definitely find that my totm is hideous after a period of over indulgence (ie xmas/holidays). I haven't had to look hard for motivation because my body is positively screaming for some TLC. Aside from feeling uncomfortable and sluggish (to put it mildly), my brain is on slow-mo and in need of a boost too.

With all that in mind, I was determined to find a healthy and interesting way to consume more fluids. With these kind of temperatures it's essential, otherwise I find myself easily veering towards ice lollies, big fruity smoothies and cordial drinks. In the winter I drink herbal teas constantly throughout the day, but with this kind of weather hot herbal teas just do not appeal to me.

Then bingo! I saw it, a water infuser. Now that looked like a fun play toy, and after lots of glasses of cucumber and lemon infused water in a Las Vegas spa, I knew just how refreshing it can be.

I am currently supping on some lemon and ginger water, happy in the knowledge that there's no added sugar, that ginger is anti inflammatory, and I'm sure I don't even need to begin on the benefits of lemon water! If I find some tasty combinations I'll be sure to share them with you. I plan on experimenting with herbs next!

So what do you do to treat yourself while still sticking to a healthy diet? I'd love to hear from you.
