During football season we would take entire bottles of water and squirt it in our pads to cool ourselves down. barely any water was drank because if too much was consumed at once one would vomit.

[Flying Dice]

The bottom line is pretty much that if you're sweating you need to be drinking water, especially when you're doing physical labor in hot weather. I got heat-sick precisely once at my first job before I started making sure that I was well-hydrated.

[Scoops Novel]

@nenjin You should make sure that you're taking good care of yourself while you're going about these things. However much water you're normally drinking, drink more of it, and for God's sake don't skip breakfast, since that seems to be everyone favourite thing to do these days. A hat can really make a difference too, though I hate wearing them. And take periodic breaks if you can. You don't actually have to walk away or go inside, but just make sure you're not exerting yourself 100% of the time if you've got a long day ahead of you. I'm no stranger to some hard work, and that just doesn't sound like something that should normally be happening to you, but it sounds like you were either starving or really dehydrated. Probably the latter. I've had that sneak up on me twice, even when I was feeling fine and throwing people moments before.

Can you give me a laundry list of the effects of consistently missing breakfast? I'm wondering how far i match up, given my proclivity's. Also, much as i hate to say it MaximumZero don't post what you wouldn't want used against you.

Tomorrow I'm doing a (small, strictly department-limited) presentation which includes some flow cytometry charts. I can't read my own notes and thus the final version of the notes I'm ellaborating right now is based on guesswork and my (as-of-yet) not too experienced eye. Not troubling in itself, but any fuckup, no matter how irrelevant, will annoy me. I want to master this thing.

Unfortunately, my body rejects breakfast. My stomach is about the size of a walnut in the morning, and eating just about anything leaves me feeling sick and overfull. I need about 2 hours and coffee before I can even think about eating, and by then I'm too busy anyways.

Yeah, I've gotten the breakfast speech before, there's just nothing I can do about it. Breakfast was never a big thing in my family, for anyone, so I never grew up doing it very often. Now my body is wired that way. I tend to wake up and get out the door in 20 minutes. Crisis mode is what gets me out of the bed in the morning.

Water though, I've been better about. I just tend to forget, and I'm not one of those guys who keeps a travel bottle of water closer than their genitals. Maybe I need to start being that guy though.

[Jopax]

Heh, I know the aversion the breakfast. Not that I get sick but I can't really put anything in myself before I've had something to drink, before it was usually half a litre of milk now it's either coffe or water or juice, depending on the availability of that stuff.

Have gotten better lately tho since nowadays there's usually no lunch before noon and that's a bit long for me.

[Akura]

Why do my parents insist on making suggests for what I should eat while I already have something in my hand, eating it? And no, it's not a health food suggestion. I was eating a peanut butter sandwich when my mother suggested either using meatballs to make a meatball sandwich, or leftover Chinese food.

@The breakfast discussion: Huh, the first thing I do when I get out of bed is eat breakfast.

[Slayerhero90]

First thing I do is boot my computer up and then get coffee.
Breakfast doesn't come until noon.

[Scelly9]

Ugh, breakfast.

[Sirus]

Ugh, breakfast.

Unless its something awesome like freshly-made waffles.

[Scelly9]

God dammit Nenjin, now I need to watch that movie again.

[Frumple]

I've usually been downing a few gulps of applesauce, the last few months, insofar as early-morning-food goes. It's good for it, since it's somewhat alright for energy, tasty, and you can drink it straight from the container.

My life was much improved when I realized that last bit. Does mean I can't really share the applesauce, but... eh. I'm about the only one I have any regular(ish) contact with that eats the stuff. Also pretty cheap! Think the stuff I've been getting lately is like 5-6 cent to the ounce, iirc. Somewhere between that and a dime.

[Tellemurius]

coffee is rare for me to consume but breakfast is important. Sausage gravy and biscuits :L

[FearfulJesuit]

There's nothing like a full breakfast of sausage biscuits, coffee and an omlette. Though, these days I usually just do the coffee.

[nenjin]

Yeah, it's not that I really hate breakfast. It's that I love sleep so much I'm not the kind of person who wakes up an hour and a half before work and has a leisurely morning, sip some coffee, find my appetite, ect... I sleep, get up, clean up and go to work. Or as one of my favorite movie quotes ever puts it:

"What are you, suicidal?"

"Only in the mornings."

God dammit Nenjin, now I need to watch that movie again.
