Oak, I wish I knew the secret to proper hydration and nutrition -- have you seen a nutritionist? I know that when I went on WIC (a program for low income families) when my daughter was young and we were bringing home very little bacon - they sent me to a nutritionist to talk about ways to maximize on proper nutrition without it hurting too much wallet-wise. That nutritionist had a huge influence on me and I learned a LOT. And she asked me very simple profile questions and was able to give me some very direct answers. At the time I was nursing and losing about 2 lbs a week while my daughter gained. She helped me keep weight on while making sure everyone got what they needed.

I hope you will go see a nutritionist. They are awesome.


Re: the tampon thing - how does that help keep you from peeing? I am trying to figure that one out.


I FINALLY ran today after my week off. I am reading Born to Run and I just had to get out on my feet today. 3.5 miles, 36 minutes. More tomorrow, maybe the VFFs as the weather is supposed to be fine.
