I'm hungry, tired and just peed bright yellow.
What does that mean?
Dehydration. All of them are symptoms of dehydration.
So, the next time you are hungry - drink a glass of water, wait 20 minutes and then eat something - if you are still hungry.
And, the next time you are tired - drink a big glass of water, wait 20 minutes and then - if you are still tired, take a 15 minute nap. Close the door, hang a "Do Not Disturb" Sign and put your head on the desk. (Think grammar school "rest periods!") If they won't leave you alone, go sit in your car or hide in a friend's office!
Finally, the next time you pee bright yellow instead of clear or very light yellow, know that you are dehydrated and drink a big glass of water. Maybe drink two. Coffee, which I love, dehydrates. I think I'm seeing the results of my cup a day treat. That's o.k. I just need to compensate.
Now ... going to go take that 15 minute nap. Then I am going to eat something delicious. Self-care. I love it!
Cheers!

Vitamin B supplements can also cause bright yellow urine. Just a fyi. :)
Good call Solomon, and true. Once I started a new supplement regieme and WOW.
In this case it was the wawa calling. It is easy for me to lose track of time when I am working ... I really have to set a timer to remember to stretch, give my eyes a break, relax my hands, eat and drink ...
I am an absent-minded blogger!

just wanted to say Hi. I saw you left a comment on Jen's blog - about missing dog beach in O.B. I post pix from there too :) feel free to peek a poo from time to time!
I was going to mention the B vitamin thing too. Sometimes my pee is really an alarming yellow because of that!
But it's always good to remind people to drink more water. I don't understand people who "can't drink water." It's WATER! My 74-year-old Mom is outside sunbathing right now, and when she comes in, she'll have a tiny sip of her Starbuck's and that'll be that. Drives me nuts!
Kimberly thanks for stopping by! I will be back to visit your virtual beach - and hopefully back for a visit soon!
JD - I know what you mean. I had a lot of time at the DMV today and read quite a bit on this topic.
Most people are chronically dehydrated and that devastates everything from our digestion to our brain. I didn't realize that it takes months to recover - to rebuild and replenish our organs, tissues etc.
We can do it and right now is a good time to start!
Thanks for visiting ladies!

About 70% of fat free mass of the human body is made of water. To function properly, the body requires between one and seven liters of water a day to avoid dehydration; the precise amount depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors.
