Day 5: I'm parched!

This one's going to be a quickie.  Day 5 and I've completed my 4th class for the week, hot on the heels of the 8pm class I did last night.  I completely forgot to do my meditation this morning, just got out of bed and rolled into the usual morning chores, but made up for this after today's class.  While I try to quiet my mind with the meditation, my body has started talking to me...

Today my body said "DRINK MORE WATER!"

I woke up with an incredibly dry mouth and despite the empty bottle of water on my bedside table, I was still parched.  It's now almost 5pm and I've got the beginnings of a rotten headache. I'm wondering if this is all due to loss of too much water and not enough replacement?  I normally drink 1.5/ 2litres a day, but clearly I'm going to need more for the next 5 weeks or so.

There could be something else physiologically going on, but I'm sticking with the water issue.  My new motto is now replenish, replenish, replenish!  Might even pop some magnesium supplements before the muscles start talking too!

Of course, all this extra water drinking will mean more toilet time too, so I'd best be off now!!
