Paula is right! I am here to say....

If you have increased weight bearing exercise and you have been even the slightest bit sore from the workouts, I can 100% guarantee you have inflammation (the good kind) and are holding on to fluid to repair muscle tissue.

Three no fail remedies for inflammation: keep exercising regularly, increase your hydration level substantially, cut processed carbs and sugar way back. You'll be back where you were in 3-4 days.

What the heck! It must be water weight from the exercise!

121.7. I was a prolific pooper yesterday! DH scolded me for losing more prior to surgery. I know he is right! I might go 10 days between doses.

Still hazy with poor air quality today. We are in the dangerous for sensitive populations category today. DH and I did take our walk and now he is coughing tonight, go figure!

I spent most of the rest of the day working on DSDs photo book. I?m making great headway. Might even get done with it this weekend!

DSD was supposed to come for a visit this weekend starting today but she now won?t come until tomorrow. It will be a short one night stay but we will be able to celebrate her birthday with her!

DC came over for dinner. Chicken enchiladas with a green sauce. Yummy.

I somehow have misplaced in my brain the information about your surgery. Plastics, yes? Body, face???? What?

Too bad you still have that smoke. Makes it difficult to get out for any length of time. We are getting wind from the north coming in today. I just looked at a smoke map and it does look like we may have some today, but definitely here tomorrow. Yuck!

OMG I forgot to ***** about this yesterday: At the conclusion of the studio meeting one of the unhappy glass people said something like " well that is how it is" and then gave us a nazi salute! Full on and unquestionably. I was stunned. This was directly at me and our studio co director.. I can't believe I did not explode. Ok, rant over. DS
