I have trouble drinking sufficient water to stay hydrated.
I was raised with well-water that was terribly contaminated by iron, calcium & an abundance of minerals.
The water was orange & had an odor of rotten eggs. It discolored our sinks, tubs & even stained my hair & clothing. At that time, bottled water wasn’t readily available. I never developed the habit of drinking lots of water. While I try to remember to carry a water bottle with me, I seldom drink from it. I would prefer to choose something other than water. I have made an effort to drink water during my morning workout. I exercise for about 60 minutes nearly every day. I switch up the exercises at the end of songs. Every time a song concludes, I chance from something like jumping rope to doing lunges. I complete a variety of stretches, weight training exercises and strenuous cardio. Whenever I change the type of exercise, I make a point to take a sip of water. By the end of the training session, I’ve drained the whole water bottle. Even if I fail to take another sip of water for the rest of the day, I’ve gotten a decent start. I normally take a break from my workouts onSundays. I don’t set an alarm, sleep in and rest my joints & muscles. Because of this, I neglect proper hydration. On Sunday afternoons, I frequently come down with really bad migraines. I dehydrated myself to where the headache leads to nausea & chills. I’ve thrown up several times, passed out & regularly needed to go back to bed because I’m in agony.
