On September 8th I went to Madison, Wisconsin to cheer on Barb during her Ironman. It was an incredible weekend. Barb finished the race and to make it harder then it already is, it was a brutal day – it poured rain the ENTIRE TIME but she toughed it out for 15 hours and 49 minutes and crossed that finish line with a huge smile on her face.
I think it was the lack of sleep and being on my feet for 20 hours and eating Wisconsin food and flying that made me swell up like a balloon when I got home. Woke up two days after I got home and my face was swollen, my fingers and toes were like little sausages, and I just felt horrendous. Being a complete lunatic, I weighed myself. I was up 7 lbs from less then a week before! I just about died. I of course did the math thinking if I continued to gain weight at a rate of 5 lbs a week, I was going to put on 90 more pounds before this baby was born! It is nearly two weeks later and I am finally caught up on sleep, hydrated, and exercising again. I weighed myself yesterday and to my relief, I am back down a pound or two over my pre-Wisconsin weight! WHEW
