I've been very thirsty, especially in the evening (after I stop consuming liquids to allow a peaceful night's rest) and in the morning, even though I have a glass of very dilute, unsweetened iced tea practically velcroed to my hand. Jackie spoke to her doctor, and it turns out she's dehydrated, too.
We've figured out the reason we're likely both dehydrated, despite the copious amounts of liquids we seem to be consuming, is because food itself contains water, especially the salads, fruits, and vegetables we consume normally. Though our rice and beans contain some water, it's obvious we're not ingesting nearly as much water from our diet as we normally do. Therefore, we'll have to increase our liquids. About the only way either of us can think to do that is to drink faster!
