electrolytes?

[kellan_the_tabby]

electrolytes!

turns out they're sort of essential for actually functioning in a way that works.

many thanks to Steph who pointed this out, because this week Steph has the brain

i built a spinach salad the size of my FACE with also pine nuts, extra-sharp cheddar, red romaine, basil, tarragon, meyer lemon olive oil, & balsamic vinegar, all of which has the electrolytes, & then i eated it all, it was THE TASTIEST

& then just to be really sure i ate an entire bag of chips

things are better, i was still really tired yesterday but i think that is more to do with i walked a bunch & then there was a yard sale & then TEN SURPRISE PEOPLE at the house all afternoon GUYS THIS IS NOT COOL

so yeah drinking lots of water, watching electrolytes, this seems to be working. it is a good.

I'm SO glad the things helped. Do not forget to do the things when it is hot! <3 For me, starting the hydration maintenance as soon as or right before I go into the heat/the heat comes to me is usually sufficient to kick start things and avoid doom.

Today is hot (by which I mean 87F outside, 77F inside, so sue me) & I've been pouring water into me & also eating foods with thought towards electrolytes, because I can learn a thing! So very VERY many thanks. <3

I think the best salad is the one one eats while gardening, without ever going inside, just washing stuff off at the pump ... but this one sounds pretty good.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yeah, but you gotta go inside to get the dressing on it. >.>
