Hectic
Been running around all day every day. Hope to get caught up on everybody’s posts and news sometime this week-end. Tomorrow will be up before the crack of dawn for a day trip to D.C.; we drive to north of Fredricksburg and catch the Metro in. Going to be awfully crowded and hot; not looking forward to this at all.
Food has not been too bad….it’s funny though, yesterday I did have one of those little bags of chips they give you along with a sandwich. I ate the chips—told myself –just half; well you all know how that goes. Anyway, this am, as soon as I opened my eyes, I knew, I just KNEW I was retaining water from those chips–my LIPS felt puffy!!!! Sure enough, hopped on the scale; up a pound and a half. WHEN will I learn???? My lips are like my barometer or something if I have salt.
The 2 wildfires are still going strong; one had been “contained” but recent winds put an end to that. Smoke, haze and smell!!!!! It’s awful and will be with us for quite some time yet. Need rain!!!!!
Gotta get some sleep for tomorrow. G’nite chickadees.

I got a veggie burger, diet coke and chips as a combo thing at Subway a couple of days ago and it actually made me SICK! I guess I haven’t had potato chips in about four months and after I finished them, it was like I’d just eaten a bowl of grease. Yuck! They taste good but they’re obviously not something we should be eating! They’re cursed!

Awful news about the wildfires! I hope you have a safe fire refuge.
I get a sore tongue when I eat too much salty food or junk food. Don’t know what it’s all about, but it sure stops me eating more! Talk about “listening to your body” mine just says “ow”.

Salt bloats me too. And I love salty food, my fav is salt and vinegar potato chips, but when I eat them…OMG….I look like Angelina Jolie….well my lips do anyway, my bod looks like Rosie ODonnel
Stay safe from the wildfires, looks awful on the news

Okay, we all know you can’t eat just one chip…and I’ve found that the amount of chips I eat is exactly proportional to the amount of chips I have at hand…3 chips & I eat 3, 3 bags of chips & I’ll try my darndest to eat 3 bags of chips!
I think we’ve decided to stay away from all the July 4th cookouts today & have a quiet and, no doubt surprisingly chipless Independence Day for once.
I never notice how my body reacts to salt, maybe I should try to pay better attention.
Oh well, water weight isn’t like brownie weight: it’s more easy come, easy go.
Happy 4th soclose!

Hope your trip was fun - maybe you’ll bump into my C.!
R. is with her. They called tonight from the Iwo Jima (and I’m sorry if I’ve misspelled that) monument, where it was a little rainy.
Know what you mean about the saltiness…after last Friday’s Chinese, I felt very puffy the next day.
That’ll learn me.
