When I get home at the end of the day, I'm gassed; no energy. And it gets worse as the week goes on: Monday is bad, Friday is horrible.

I wonder why is it that some people can have a hard day at work and still come home and mow the lawn, while others barely have the strength to dial the phone and order in dinner???

Dehydration is the first reason of fatigue. Here are some tips you can use to avaid it:

• Always carry a FILLED water bottle with you. Whether stuck in a car in traffic, or stuck in a meeting at work, you can avoid dehydration by assuring you have fluids available.
• Be sure to consume fluids when you exercise. Often we are in a rush to complete our workout or our run or walk. So make sure you adequately hydrate before, during, and after exercise to avoid dehydration.
• As soon as you wake up, grab a glass of water or 100% fruit juice to start your day on the right note.
• Look for dark colored urine. If your urine is dark yellow, you are likely dehydrated. The goal is straw colored OR clear.
• Consume more fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are mostly water and fiber. Therefore, increasing your fruit and vegetable intake can increase your fluid intake. Other food and beverage options you may consider include: soups, fruit juices, yogurt, low fat milk, iced or hot tea, coffee (in moderation).

for me the hardest thing in work is sitting down all the time. i jut can't bear it... so, when i stand up and go home or any other place i immediately feel better and i have plenty of energy to do the housework.
