Energy Shots

I am NOT a big energy drink person. I think I may have sipped a few here or there, but never even had a full one on my own. To be honest, they scare me. I worry that I will get hooked on them. Or even worse, that it will cause my heart to race and I will have a heart attack at a young age (even though my heart is strong) and die or because laid up because I tend to have irrational fears like that.

So, anyhow, long story short, my cousin, who notes my busy, hectic lifestyle sent me (as a joke) a tray of energy shots to our family reunion (because he was not able to attend). I hadn't tried them yet, until Friday. I was pretty exhausted after our late night excursion to the Pirates game in Pittsburgh the night before and I had 11 little princesses to attend to at Princess Camp so I thought, "What the heck! I'll try it." And I did.

The taste was pretty awful. I chugged some serious water after drinking it. But you know what... it seemed to work. And I didn't have any nasty side/after effects that sometimes are had after an energy drink. It's sugar free so there is no crash when it wears off. And, as opposed to most energy drinks, this one is very low in calories, so you don't have to waste the energy it is providing by running a marathon to work off the caloric in-take. So let me recommend the 5-hour Energy shot. I can't say I'll be doing these daily or even often, but if I need a quick pick-me-up, I know where to go.
