Hydration Plan: Keep Filling up the Cup of Water!

I’m one of those people that thinks that a huge number of people are walking around semi dehydrated. I never knew that there were people who believe the opposite until I heard my mother in law and her sister discuss how ridiculous they think it is that people drag water bottles everywhere they go. Apparently they think Americans are OVER hydrating. Caramba – that is just a bizarre way to think if you ask me – as you would have to drink HUGE amounts of water in order to suffer from over hydration – and there are just way more dehydrated folks than over hydrated ones.

Whatever the case, I’m nursing so for me it’s indisputable that I need to stay very well hydrated!

A trick that has helped me with this is to keep a 16 ounce mug by the sink in the kitchen, which I keep filling up all day long. I’m managing at least 4 mugs a day now – whereas before sometimes I would go 1/2 the day without thinking to go get a cup of water. Every time I see the mug, I try to drink a little.  Drink water because you should, not just when you’re thirsty!
