The week of my daughter's graduation turned out not to be the best time to make serious lifestyle improvements. Who knew?
Yes, it's okay to laugh at me. I do it all the time.
Things have settled down a bit now, so hopefully I can get back on the horse. I had plain yogurt doctored with blackberries, honey, and granola cereal for breakfast. Getting ready to drink some water. Might go for a walk, might take a nap. We'll see. I also have a sink full of dirty dishes and some chicken waiting to be turned into nuggets.
Speaking of walking, this is probably a good place to share a cheap, effective sports drink substitute you can make at home easily. This is a modified version of a recipe that has saved many lives in third world countries where diarrhea is a major killer, especially of children.
Like the recipe, I use about a half liter of water and a handful of sugar, but instead of regular table salt, I use "Lite Salt" because it contains potassium. I also squirt in some lemon juice to reduce the nastiness factor -- this isn't the best tasting stuff you will ever drink. But it is tolerable, effective, and cheap.
Update: One of the problems with combining exercise with Vitamin D acquisition is that it's better not to bathe soon after sun exposure and I just spent 28 minutes walking at a nice clip in humid, sunny 90 degree weather. Ick!
