ChrisComedy's Journal, 24 November 2014

Steps yesterday: 988 (SmartHealth watch).

Sleep efficiency: 95 percent.

Seventy-seven degrees predicted for today. 🏄

I don't understand why I retain water sometimes and other times don't.

The silicone cake pan arrived. It's too flexible to use as a mold for power bars. 😞 Freezer containers arrived as well. I can now freeze some of the large batches I prepare in the slow cooker. I ordered a five pound bag of lentils as a part of my dried bean pantry stocking program.

The Striiv Smart Pedometer survived a dunking in the toilet, but now gives inaccurate readings. It showed over 1,600 steps this morning for a trip down the hall. I ordered a Withings Pulse activity tracker, mainly because it syncs with older Android devices.

Update: the Pulse arrived.

Relaxation: 30 minute nap.

I've started to make hydration more systematic so it's something I have been thinking about.

Foods we eat can cause water weight gain. Retaining it can mean not consuming enough water. Too much Sodium is a big culprit in retains water.

I agree with Oofster, without looking at what you are consuming C.C. that is something to keep in mind.

CC I cannot believe you are gloating about 77 degrees when our temperature has been dropping and it will be butt freezing weather again tomorrow. I am SO over winter.

Could be worse. You could be in Buffalo.

I would never move to Buffalo or Rochester for the same reason. Louisville is bad enough. I miss California.

I was a newspaper photographer in Madisonville, KY back in the seventies. Don't remember much snow.

I was standing on a corner shivering in the cold and a cop drove by and yelled out = break it up over there. I need to step it up a notch. LOL

I'm aiming for 64 ounces of liquid a day.

Funny how drinking more water works. Also adding more cardio seems to help me. If I don't move much you can see the water retention lines around the top of my socks.

With my enlarged prostate, if I drank a large glass of water an hour, I might as well have a catheter running to the bathroom. 😅

Water is everything, CC. I always do 96ounces and sometimes more...I forget to log all the water...and protein is King!

I divide body weight in half and drink that much water each day. If I exercise then I add more water to that.

ChrisC, do you set an alarm to wake up from your nap? I've always wanted to take a half hour nap in the afternoon, but never do it, for fear I will sleep two hours and not get all my chores done.

I listen to a half hour podcast. I usually fall asleep in the first five minutes and wake up when it ends.

Thanks, Chris!

Happy Thanksgiving Chris, hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow and good job on the walking. I would give anything, almost, if i could go walking again like i used to, I really miss it. I have the same problem with retaining water also, can't figure out why either, nor can my doctors.
