I've learned that stress or lack of sleep has just as much effect on my weight as what I eat. Right now am experiencing wild 5 lb swings from day to day which is a clear sign of increased inflammation from eating things I know my body is sensitive to. This causes good old water retention.
Autoimmune conditions makes me more susceptible. I KNOW I will fall to some temptations over the holidays but I need to be more intentional about it. The sad thing is the amounts I've eaten of those foods have been very small.

I am actually wondering if pre-menopause hormone swings cause random water weight gain. I've had various episodes of water retention that have lasted several weeks, with no changes in diet, sleep, etc. I have an appointment with the doctor this week and planned to ask him if it's possible.

I've had a lot of sleep and no more stress than usual. But, I have been sick. Hoping that is it. I kind of lost my appetite when I saw the scale this morning!

So, when I made my rule that I would get up and take a walk every time something annoys me at work, I did not plan for the scenario that something else would annoy me as soon as I got back to my desk after walking around.
Looks like I will be getting plenty of indoor exercise today.

I wish I could have that plan!
For the 97th time I have explained that "drawing a conclusion" has nothing to do with drawing.

Ha! That could be an interesting assignment for art students.
