Heat and Water

Heat kids......I am writing in red to stress the importance of drinking your water especially at this time of year!!!

Look at Miss Katt who fell and broke her ankle this past week. Katt got herself on the dehydrated side and was getting dizzy. Dehydration is super serious!!

I know most of you do not hit the high temps we are getting in the desert right now, but nevertheless you can still become dehydrated.

Today it is expected to be another 118 degrees here. I travel with water in my car at all times and usually have something else to drink too. Yesterday when I was out, I experienced intestinal cramping....I believe that it was due to not enough water while I was out.

Don't be complacent about hydration.....and don't think that it won't happen to you. All you newbies who cannot chug the fluid.....just keep sipping....even if you have to do it for what seems like non stop....Katt will tell you that it beats having a broken ankle and it beats having to go to the hospital like some have had to do for dehydration and be hooked up to the IV...now that sounds like a fun afternoon eh? NOT!!!

DRINK...SIP....DRINK...SIP....DRINK....SIP...DRINK!!!!!

Have a great day and try to stay physically cool....

Thanks for the reminder J!!!

Please be sure to get in as much water as possible, Protein too! I don't want what happened to me, happening to anyone else. I am now tracking both my water and protein intake and I haven't had anymore dizzy spells. So please, please keep sip, sip, sipping... =)

was 108 here in North Hollywood yesterday and today seems just as bad.  I'm in my office with a jacket on LOL  I got the tempature down to 68 degrees in here but i have drank a 12oz protein drink  2 oz manderine juice, 12 oz water so far, i'm working the liquids!! Brenda

I just got in from running some errands and it popped 119 out here in the desert and it is only early afternoon! YIKES
