I went to the bathroom, a LOT, and learned some things.

I like water, but I can definitely be lazy about it.

And I always bring a water bottle with me to workout classes.

I was drinking more water, so of course I went to the bathroom more often.

Since I work from home, my frequent bathroom breaks weren’t a big deal.

The weekend was a different story.

On Saturday, I started my day with a large iced latte and was out and about.

The combination of caffeine and drinking a lot of liquid at once had me constantly looking for a bathroom.

I definitely noticed I needed to pee even more.

So I tried to avoid them.

This sometimes involved drinking my last 2 cups close to bedtime.

I had, too, so I was curious to see what might happen.

And that’s OK. And if you don’t drink enough water, you may experience low energy levels, moodiness and headaches.
