Heat and WLS!

I think I learned a very valuable lesson this past weekend.  It seems that the heat will be taking MORE of a toll on me than in summers past now.  I went to Gettysburg with a friend for the day Saturday. And I was bad about sipping all day....very bad....and boy did I feel it!  Thinking back, I am pretty sure I was on the brink of dehydration.  Even though I had sipped a 17 oz Propel on the way up, and a 24 oz water walking the battlefields, I needed more.  And actually had a hard time eating more than 2 or 3 bites at any of my 4 mini meals. Once I got home and had a couple SF icy pops and another BIG glass of water I was ok, but boy the pouch was not very happy with me!  For the other newbies out  there...and to myself...remember to sip ALL day!!!

Good Morning ladies - and thanks for your input!  It was a lesson hard learned! Thankfully I didn't become totally dehydrated!  It could have been better, but it could have been a LOT worse. But now, I am the "sipping-Queen"!
