Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay. He is.) Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...
I've been cutting my main water intake off around 7ish now and that seems to have helped. Instead of getting up in the middle of the night to pee I wake up early morning with a bladder buster. Not sure if that is entirely better though, the verdict is still out.
ReplyDeleteI could walk around the neighborhood all day long with no issues. However, whenever I try to do something that requires more of the lifting of the thighs through the hips, like stair steppers or elliptical machines, I can only go 5-20 minutes. As far as water goes, I try for the 64 ounces, but it is hard. I work odd hours, so I have no set schedule and waking up to pee happens nightly. Guess I am just used to it. I feel better with all the water though and can definitely tell when I have not had enough.
ReplyDeleteDehydration is my worst enemy so I pay particular attention to my fluid intake. I will admit there are days that I drink more black tea than pure water, but I do get at least 48 oz of water each day in addition to about 48-68 oz of hot or cold tea. And I'm up at least once during the night.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you on the soreness. Surprisingly I'm not as sore today as I was yesterday when I was super tight in the IT bands. I still feel a bit today but not as bad as I thought. I'm doing better with my water and making it my sole focus every day. At my best I was drinking a gallon a day; at my worst I've known to get in less than a 16oz bottle. I have a history of kidney stones, so I HAVE to be consistent with it. You'd think I'd learn...pfft.
ReplyDeleteI have found that anything other than plain water overstimulates my bladder. It is an easy experiment. Drink only water for a couple weeks and see what happens.
