Prep Day

[cmk418]

My age 50 rite-of-passage event is tomorrow morning so I'm home today prepping. I thought I'd do a fun experiment and weigh myself beforehand, which I did.

And then I weighed myself at the mid-point and I've gained a pound. WTF?

Also, I'm not going to be drinking Gatorade any time soon after that.

Off to drink another glass of vile liquid. Bottoms up!

Depending on what you might have eaten or even the time of day, your body might be holding onto some water. And I do believe that Gatorade is high in sodium, so it very well could be the culprit.

Thanks. I had a feeling that it's just water weight - between the Gatorade and the fact that I've been on a liquid diet all day, yeah I'm probably retaining some (and I usually don't drink 32 ounces of anything within a two hour period.)

I'll check again tomorrow morning before we head out.

Hopefully everything went well!

It did, thanks!
