More thoughts

Mark and Anna are at Costco, so it's just me--me and my empty tummy and sore back. So I've got spare time. I have a chiropractor appt. this afternoon, and I need to lie low after my appointments.

Anyway, here's the deal. The first few days of every cycle are lousy because there's no weight loss yet, just misery. Indeed, there's weight GAIN to contend with because of the weird phenomenon of loading. The first three times I gained 4# on loading. This time I must have broken some kind of record because I gained--wait for it--7#. I laughed (sort of a maniacal, slightly unbalanced laugh, but a laugh nonetheless). I know it will be gone quickly, but even so. SEVEN? I had a ton of salt, so I'm sure that's the bulk of it (pun intended).

But yeah. The first few days, epic hunger, weight gain, not loss, and a gaping maw of time stretched out before you. Good times.
