The More You Know

So yesterday I got to do this:

I LOVE the water, and I've been wanting to go swimming for over a month now. I also got sun-burned. I'm semi-fair skinned and it was my first time really out in the sun in a while. My food and exercise has been pretty good and I really expected to be at or just below the 210 marker today. Imagine my surprise when I GAINED 3 lbs!! 

After some quick research I confirmed what I feared- sunburn = increased water retention from fluid build up under the burn. Damn. Oh well, lots of water drinking and clean eating this week to try and flush it out. So there ya go- sunburn equals water retention, and a backslide of the scale (albeit temporarily). The more you know- Go Joe!
