I managed to drink a single cup more than what I usually drink the other day. Not a soda but some water with Crystal Light. So I had about four and a half maybe five cups of fluid yesterday. Not acceptable. My skin is dry and I don’t feel…right. Today I try to match my “other fluids” with my soda intake. I usually have a soda with my meals; one at lunch and a couple with dinner. SO I will try to match that with three waters or three ice teas. Today will be interesting since I will be going out to eat tonight, celebrating a friend’s birthday.
Also plan to start taking my supplements again like vitamin C and fish oils. I have been really lax in taking care of myself lately. I think you get preoccupied when you have extra responsibilities like elder care. Even when the loved one does not live with you, you tend to focus on them and you lose interest in yourself. That should change too. I am planning my trip to Chicago for the first weekend in August. For anyone reading this taking care of someone other than a child, you need your recreation. That’s is part of what keeps the caregiver healthy.
