• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am

• 0:10

• 0:12

  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:28
  Hey everybody, good morning. I'm going to tell you a funny
• 0:31
  story. It's very early, it's dark.
• 0:34
  And as I was getting ready to get the chicken breakfast out
• 0:38
  and make their platters and go through all this, I'm on the
• 0:40
  porch. You hear the frogs and all the
• 0:42
  little peeping in the background.
• 0:45
  But in any event, I'm getting their stuff ready and I'm
• 0:48
  feeling like I bent down and I felt my knees were like really
• 0:52
  sore. And I'm like, all right, I
• 0:55
  didn't eat great this weekend. Let me tell you.
• 0:58
  It was Mark's birthday. We went out to one of those
• 1:03
  Brazilian steakhouses, which are filled with sodium and all kinds
• 1:07
  of things that I normally don't eat at that level in that way.
• 1:11
  And so that started it on Friday.
• 1:14
  Saturday was not so bad, but I went to the farmers market and
• 1:18
  my favorite bread guy was there. Again, I don't like to fill up
• 1:22
  on bread, but I he had like the best benet roll and I was like a
• 1:28
  loaf and I got it and I was like, OK, I'm not going to eat
• 1:30
  most of it. I'm only going to have a little
• 1:32
  slice of it. I'm going to enjoy it.
• 1:34
  I'm not going to worry about it. I ended up having a couple of
• 1:37
  slices off of it and then I gave it to the girls.
• 1:40
  But then yesterday my daughter came over and with the baby and
• 1:46
  we did steak and then I had was not regular white potato.
• 1:52
  I had mashed sweet potato. But then I made she is gluten
• 1:56
  free and I made her cookies and I had some cookies.
• 1:58
  Now while they're gluten free, I still had sugar.
• 2:01
  So woke up this morning and felt my knees.
• 2:05
  So I was like, oh, it must have been all of that.
• 2:08
  So I'm thinking to my head, it must have been all of the things
• 2:10
  that I ate. And then as I'm going about my
• 2:13
  morning and trying to get things organized, get ready to come out
• 2:17
  and take care of the chickens and do all that, I have this
• 2:20
  thought about how, oh, wow, I'm not.
• 2:24
  I, I touch the chicken pans, which I always wash extremely
• 2:28
  well. But I thought, oh, I didn't wash
• 2:30
  my hands. And I run in the bathroom to
• 2:32
  wash my hands. And as I'm there, I look in the
• 2:35
  mirror and I literally scared myself.
• 2:37
  I was like, oh, Oh my God, look at me.
• 2:39
  I look so awful in the mirror. Like I looked at myself and I
• 2:43
  thought that and I realized, wow, my I have not had water.
• 2:49
  Like my instantaneous thought was I look like I'm shriveling
• 2:52
  up. And I realized that most of the
• 2:55
  weekend I did not touch my water bottle.
• 2:58
  Now here's what's funny and why I'm telling you the story.
• 3:01
  Because I am not great at remembering to drink water.
• 3:04
  I'm just not. I like to have some warm liquids
• 3:07
  more than hot liquids and I like really flavorful things.
• 3:10
  So I but I don't drink soda or anything else.
• 3:14
  I try to drink water flavored whatever I can do with it, but I
• 3:18
  try to have mostly water in some way, shape or form.
• 3:23
  But this weekend I really blew it.
• 3:25
  And immediately my body let me know.
• 3:28
  So I scared myself when I looked at myself.
• 3:31
  I looked dehydrated and I it, it's a constant reminder to even
• 3:36
  how my knees hurt. OK, what is that?
• 3:39
  I'm dehydrated and I, I know this, my body tells me this.
• 3:42
  So I just didn't listen all weekend long.
• 3:45
  I was just in this phrase, there's phase of running out.
• 3:49
  I was doing stuff. I stopped and I got an iced
• 3:52
  latte. But I don't, I, I mean, I, oh, I
• 3:55
  used oat milk. OK, still great.
• 3:56
  I still need water. I still need water and I need to
• 3:59
  have a certain amount for my body.
• 4:01
  Now, I'm not suggesting that everyone needs the same amount I
• 4:05
  need, but what I am suggesting is we all need it and that we
• 4:08
  all run a deficit on it. Now there's an an older book
• 4:11
  that we used to have access to. We actually got the speaker.
• 4:16
  Many heard the speaker many times when I worked for Tony
• 4:18
  Robbins, doctor Batman Gotti, and he wrote a little book
• 4:22
  called Your Body's Many Cries for Water.
• 4:24
  And the first time I heard him speak my mind was blown and
• 4:31
  could not get over how how like much dis ease like when we have
• 4:37
  dis ease in the body it he believes that it comes from the
• 4:40
  lack of water. So I have since I heard him the
• 4:43
  first time, I've always been very focused on, you know,
• 4:48
  making sure I was drinking enough water until I'm not.
• 4:51
  I do it until I don't. And then I have to have these
• 4:54
  shocking reminders. And this morning's was looking
• 4:57
  in the mirror and seeing myself look dehydrated.
• 4:59
  Like I can actually tell my what it feels like.
• 5:02
  Like I have slight inflammation in my hands.
• 5:05
  Not a lot. Like you might not even notice
• 5:07
  it if you don't pay attention the way I pay attention.
• 5:10
  But I can feel it. I can feel it in my knees.
• 5:12
  I can feel it in my feet. It's not anything that would
• 5:15
  even be like considered, but if you looked at me, you wouldn't
• 5:17
  even think it was there, but it's there and I can feel it.
• 5:21
  So the name of the game is to always kill the monsters while
• 5:25
  they're small. Get hydrated.
• 5:27
  So today that's my mission, my friends, hydration, and I'm
• 5:31
  telling you all the stories so, you know, find it when it's
• 5:34
  small, take care of it and go drink some freaking water
• 5:38
  because I know we all need it. And if you get a chance to get
• 5:41
  that book, your body's many cries for water.
• 5:43
  Dr. Batman Gotti, once you read it, it does stick with you and I
• 5:48
  will say it helps me be good probably about 80% of the time
• 5:53
  because there are times when I definitely fall off.
• 5:56
  I usually catch myself quicker than this though.
• 5:58
  So anyway, have a blessed day. I'm going to go drink some
• 6:01
  water. Bye.
