Six Pounds?!?!

I had my first bi-weekly checkup last Tuesday the 12th. When I stepped on the scale I had gained SIX pounds in two weeks. Quite an "accomplishment" since the largest of all of my other weigh-ins to date was 3 pounds. And that was in four weeks. I doubled the gain in half the time. That's .5 lbs a day...what on earth was I eating?? LEAD??

The good news is that everything else measured out fine. My blood pressure was good at 114/74. That was a relief since I had been seeing spots, someone mentioned my bp might be up. I am retaining a bit of water (sadly, I don't think six pounds' worth) and so Dr. Rushing advised me to go swimming. Evidently the water suctions the water out of your body. I went swimming and I still feel bloated, but not as bad.
