Topic: Dehydration Indicator

After my recent experiences with dehydration, ok for the last 2-1/2 years, Dr. Bob, my sports physician and nutritionist has come up with an easy way to see if I'm dehydrated. By taking my blood pressure. If it's really low, like it was the other day, I'm really dehydrated. So now I check it myself several times a day. I'm still learning the amount of fluid my body needs. Even at 70 ounces my blood pressure was low, so I know I need more than that until I get to a consistant blood pressure.

Topic: for those of you who are struggling to lose or maintain....

I found this on a different OH board and wanted to share!  I hope it helps someone......

(((HUGS)))



START OVER!
If you've started out in pursuit of your goal
And you've really tried with your heart and your soul,
but somehow things got out of control ---
START OVER.
When you've tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would,
But once again, you didn't do good ---
START OVER.
When you've worked so hard to follow a dieter's way
And you fought to win a victory each day
But one more time you went astray ---
START OVER.
When you've tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do
But once again you failed to come through ---
START OVER.
When the road to success seemed much too long
And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave in to wrong ---
START OVER.
When you've told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted them to help you through
But soon discovered it's up to you ---
START OVER.
When you know you must be physically fit,
But your hope seems gone and you're stuck in a pit
That's not the time for you to quit ---
START OVER.
When the week seems long and successes few
And at weigh-in time you're feeling blue
Remember tomorrow is just for you ---
START OVER.
To start again means a victory's been won
And starting over again means a race well run
And starting over again proves it can be done
So don't just sit there ---
START OVER.
