We went to Nathan's sister's new house for dinner last night. I managed to eat it but I've been restricting fluids-- which Nathan has noticed. He's always on my case about drinking more water. He kept handing me my glass of water. I'd take a tiny sip and put it down. I dumped some out when he went to the bathroom and no one was looking.
I was getting the tour of her house and I fell and slid down the stairs because my legs gave out. When we got back to the kitchen I just said "fine, you win" and drank the stupid water.
I managed to fall asleep by 1:30am, which isn't bad lately. Mom and dad were gone all morning so I was able to finally work out a little bit. I'm about to go to work in a few minutes. I want to get on the treadmill there, but I know I shouldn't since I've already worked out. I'm still really tired so I'm not exactly sure how work is going to go.
I still need to study for molecular pathology --- I already have an exam this week.
It'll be tough to both go to work and to study when I get home. Especially since I already exercised today. So I know I have to be responsible and not get on the treadmill when i'm there.
At least I get to go in when they're closed. It's an okay way to isolate.

I sometimes am prone to restricting fluids too, but there's literally no good reason to do this. Water has no calories. If you restrict fluids, you actually retain more water. Fluids push fluids. The more regularly you drink, the less bloated you are. With fluids, you can work out more. You have less head aches. I know you know all of this, but I'm just trying to be a friendly reminder to drink those fluids.
I'm glad Nathan is watching out for you.
The only reason why is because the water adds fullness to my stomach. And I hate that feeling. So even though I know all of that, logically, occasionally I'm still driven to restrict it.
Thanks for reminder. It never hurts to hear it again.
