Can hot weather cause water retention?
Overall, a pretty good weekend! Friday’s date was so bad it was funny (halfway through, while my date was in the restroom, the waitress asked me “Is there anything I can do to speed this along, hon?” Even she could see what an a$$ he was!); then the rest of the weekend was spent doing errands, house stuff, grocery shopping…usual weekend stuff. I made it to the gym twice, and walked around 25 miles. Still, not losing. Today my colleague/weight-loss buddy noticed my ankles are pretty swollen, so she wondered if maybe I’m retainng a lot of water this week…it has been in the 90s, which it rarely is here! So, I’m just going to keep at the exercise, drinking water, eating well, limiting alcohol intake, and try to get enough sleep. Eventually something’s gotta give, right?!
So, I’m not going to obsess over weight this week, and just have faith and knowledge that a few more days of making great choices will result in a loss. As it is, my clothes are feeling roomy, and I’m not seeing anything too awful when I check myself out naked–I need to base my current progress on those things. I do care about the scale, of course, and will weigh myself every day just to “keep myself honest,” but I also need to not be discouraged by what I do or don’t see there! ![]()
