I am down 1.6 lbs today. It is good and I hope I can get rid of a bit more by tomorrow!
Still being up by 4 lbs is depressing, even if it is water. My feet are still puffy, so I have plenty more water sitting in my legs.
I don't know if the dandelion tea is working or not. I was really hoping it would cause the floodgates to burst.
But even if it only causes a trickle, I am fine with that.
Who knows - maybe it was the avocado that triggered this little loss? A combination of the 2?
CRICKET - Our store only sells Haas Avocados - they are smallish. The ones they had on sale were nice and black and ripe, so the pulp was easy to scoop out. I was considering growing the seed, but my Rosemary plant is taking up the only available window space in the kitchen.
Maybe I will try to sprout one closer to springtime, then I can set it outside to grow!
HIMI - Baby Bunnies!!!! How cute!!!!!
When I was a kid our neighbor always had pet bunnies which would occasionally have babies.
My favorite was her giant black & white bunny, named Otto.
They let them run around the yard as we were all sitting around for cookouts and stuff. They were fun and friendly and never ran out of the yard! Like having a bunch of little dogs.
Unfortunately, they ALL died after my neighbor fed them AVOCADO skins! Of all things.
Who would have thought avocado skins would be poisonous to rabbits? She did not know. It was a terrible accidental tragedy.
I also had a friend once who kept an urban house rabbit! It had a litter box.
His dog got along very well with it.
Rabbits are very nice pets.
But I realize they are also food animals, so I feel bad for them.
But then, I feel bad for ALL animals who are forced to sacrifice their little lives so that we may survive.
God bless all the wonderful innocent creatures of this world.
TAM - Congrats on your WHOO!
I like that.
I consider anything over a .6 loss to be a whoosh!
I have seen BIG whooshes of over 3 lbs, but that is not common. I swear I can gain 2-3 lbs of water overnight, but it never seems to leave the body as fast as it comes on.
What is up with that I will never understand. So congrats to you and hope you see it again tomorrow!
BARB - So glad your internet is working for you again. Like your husband, I am also dependent upon it for my work. If mine ever went down I would freak out.
Congrats on another loss!
CHRISSIE - I hope you and your sis had a great time at the ballet. I love ballet and opera. I have only seen 2 operas and no ballets. Some day I hope to have the opportunity to see one.
I have to start getting stuff together to bring to Mom's now. I always have SO MUCH. All my food. Books for Mom. Clothes/toiletries. All my meds and vitamins. My laptop. Sheesh! So I hope to be able to stop back in later today and see how we have all fared. Have a nice weekend all!
