Bloat, Part 2

I lost 3.8 pounds between yesterday and today!

OK, we both know that didn't really happen. But that's what the scale said. My ring is still tighter than normal, but after a solid 8 hours of good sleep, a 5-mile run, plus a 1-mile walk, a digestive tract back in standard operating mode and lots of water, things are looking up.

The point of this is you can't always trust the number on the scale. You fluctuate a lot depending on circumstances ... what you eat, how you sleep, if you're working out ... and yes, if you're pooping regularly. So don't get freaked out. Stick to the plan and do what you know is right.

Do the right things often enough and good things happen.

And as GAF so wisely advised, drink a lot of water. It keeps everything a bit more balanced.

(Sorry for the poop comment. I know it's gross. But it's true. Your body is a system with intakes and waste removal and the whole thing has to be working for you to be working.)
