exhuasted

today was long and wicked hot. i ended up staying at work until 4:!5, when i get out at 3:30. i helped the Poland Springs guy bring in some of the water jugs to help him on his way. plus, a few parents were late to pick up there kids, so yea, i just stayed.

but with my hard work today, i earned a paid day off this week. so of course, i chose friday and that means a 4 day weekend for me woooooooohoooooo

 

we almost ran out of water too. and cups. that would have sucked.

 

Glad to hear you got Friday off.

 

i feel sick though, like nauseous and shit

 

Drink lots of water, eat something and lay down in the AC.

 

not like you dont already know but you need more than water right now and a good soak in cool water would do you wonders right now.

 

You're probably not feeling well because of the heat. You may have heat exhaustion, so listen to Lucky Stripe and drinks lots of water, rest and get yourself into some A/C, anywhere that you can cool down.

 

damn, that sucks. i didnt do jackshit today. i woke up at like 11am in between two retards, with someones elbow in my face. then i ate. now im doing this.

sounds like you got yourself a fulfilling life. I think on your 4 day weekend yo should get keyed & relax.

 

water can actually make it worse, need other stuff but Fitzy knows it, need to cool the core temp too so saok in the tub cool water not cold.

 

i just took a cold shower, and had some cereal. feel a little better. but yea, definately need lots more water. i have some gatorade to add to the water, so i'll do that too

 

wouldn't say it sucks. i rather it be me than one of the kids feel like i do. i actually stopped drinking water cuz we were running low and i wanted the kids to drink.

but yea, i'm already going to 1 party this weekend. might take a trip up to NH to see a friend too...we'll see. 4 day weekends are fun

 

Isn't there a recent thread discussing water v. sports drinks and eating salt pills?

 

unless your doing high intensity training, you're not going to need to down lots of sports drinks. they're high in sugar. they do have good points, but doing normal activity and regular workouts, you're not going to deplete your stores of those minerals and what not sports drinks replenish. i'll do half gatorade/half water every now and then thorugh out the day. but i dont' drink more than 12 oz of gatorade a day, i don't need that much.

 

i feel a little better now. i took about an hour nap after eating and showering earlier. i still have a wicked headache. but thats normal. i took my dog out to the park and ended up staying up there for over 2 hours, and i felt fine. so hopefully i'll feel better tomorrow.

 

Yay.

 

This may be true up there but not the case down here/ around much of the Country.
Normal semi-strenuous work activities will flat ass take ya out this time of year if sports drinks/ salt pills aren't consumed.

Plain water does not cut it - electrolyte losses are too great.
Better safe than sorry as recovery is a real bitch.

 

try pedialyte - much healthier and far better electrolyte recovery than sports drinks

 

wooooo wooooooooooo

 

exhaustion is not fun...but neither is insomnia...

 

you can have fun with insomnia, if you have a safe environment to be around and people to watch you
