I know I posted a few pictures earlier… but thought I would show what “Faithful Heat” could do at a moment’s notice…
Yep… That’s a lot of meat. And moderation saves the day–every time.
Side Note: This post was created using my phone and the Jetpack app. It has a few limitations, but still doable.
Since I’ve been back in my hometown, I’ve noticed I’ve been putting on weight… and my ankles look swollen. 🤨 In doing a few searches online, I discovered it could be from water retention. So, I thought I’d write an article about it.
There was one particular article found on Healthline.com that I thought was very interesting. It’s was called 6 Ways to Reduce Water Retention (Edema).
Edema, water retention, happens when excessive fluid is retained in the circulatory system or within tissues—causing swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, and legs. There are several potential causes for this. Hormonal changes, lack of physical activity, kidney disease, obesity, and even allergies are a few that I’ll mention. The article I mentioned above names others as well.
My concern at the moment is with my ankles–so I was looking at ways of addressing that issue. If you have a concern with water retention, please check with your doctor (if you have one), to make sure it’s not a serious condition associated with why you’re retaining water, otherwise there are a few things you can try to maybe help reduce the amount of water being retained.
NOT Drinking water is NOT THE ANSWER. Surprisingly, you may not be drinking enough water to begin with—which adds to the problem of fluid retention. So, one option to address fluid retention should be: DRINK MORE WATER.
There is a lot more information about this topic to be found in the links below. I just wanted to write a few notes on what I found to get you started.

Some days are meant for gathering. Many of you know this already. You may not call it that–or even realize that is what you are doing. But for me, gathering days are crucial. I used to think I was being lazy or wasting time, but in actuality I was allowing me to get in contact with my surroundings, recharging my idea pool and just letting things go.
It reminded me of when some folk fall asleep in church –then “explain” they were either meditating or resting their eyes. lol… But, it’s true. You need times like that and you should not feel guilty about having them. Listening to music, talking to a friend, meditating—they all count; as do many other activities or no activity at all.
Whenever you get to read this—I hope you decide to live your best life! Amen.
Bernie should not take Bloomberg’s money! He has a strong support of the people. And simply put, if Bernie takes the money, and loses, then his principles are gone, and the fight would have been for naught. If Bloomberg wants to spend his money to help Democrats win, he can run commercials with the same energy—minus himself.
