Holy crap it's hot out.
Worked most of the day outside, no shade. Lost about 5 lbs AFTER drinking 4 bottles of water and 30b0z of "caffeine water". Kicked my ass. I pushed too far and started getting cramps, had to go cool off in the truck. Stay hydrated folks. Ib4 some of our West Coast members advise me of what a pussy I am......

"Caffeine increases glomerular filtration rate by opposing the vasoconstriction of renal afferent arteriole mediated by adenosine via type 1 AR during the tubuloglomerular feedback. Caffeine also inhibits Na(+) reabsorption at the level of renal proximal tubules. In addition, caffeine perturbs the hepatorenal reflex via sensory nerves in Mall's intrahepatic spaces. "
Don't hit caffeine hard in the heat if you ain't used to it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Have your husband draw you a cool bath rookie. Not quite.  I used to do this intentionally to cut fast during the summer. It seems to take a bit more out of you when you're old and out of shape. I've had a really hard time getting back into the gym since we had the wuflu last year and then everything shut down. I work outside most of the day anymore, but today was rougher than usual for some reason. Maybe I'm getting soft......

We were under a heat advisory today and for the next day or two. It's particularly hot and humid out there, and that's saying a lot. Feels tropical.
Everyone be safe, and switch up for some Gatorade along with all the water. |

One of my first projects in my new house was insulating the garage doors. When it's bad out, I keep the big doors closed, leave the door into the house open, turn the AC down a couple of degrees, and put a box fan inside blowing out. It cools things down nicely in just a little while. It's my workshop. I don't use it for parking cars. I also have a compact squirrel-cage fan I just bought. I freaking love it. It blasts a jet of air wherever it's pointed, so I keep it aimed at wherever I'm working. It makes a huge difference. |

Alternate one bottle of water and one bottle of sports drink. Also, in order to catch back up you will need to drink 20-24 ounces of fluid for every pound you lose with activity. |

I was a ref for six rugby games last Saturday. It was hot as hell in Florida
The tournament organizer collapsed and they had to take him to the ER. Lack of hydration and overheated. |

I did the same thing last Friday. I had a couple thousand pounds of steel to move onto a trailer in our warehouse and our mini-skid was broke down, so I did it by hand. Heat index was around 100 and air temp inside the tin can warehouse building was hovering around 110. I drank all my water and said to myself I was almost done. I just about passed out.
Us northerners aren’t used to this shit. Give me -20F over this any time. Then I can put my carhartt on and work all day. This shit is unreasonable…. |
