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!

Yep - if the food isn't worth eating, it is time to chuck it! No problem for me either but DH has a difficult time doing that. There is still 1/2 of a chocolate donut in the fridge which he refuses to throw out.

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

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.

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.

Peps would tell you the gain is from inflammation from the increased exercise! Keep on keeping on!
