I fully intended to stick strictly to my Rosedale diet over Christmas.  But as Christmas came closer, Gary's face grew longer, as he thought of all the food treats he was missing, so we compromised:  I went on my version of Rosedale maintenance for a couple of weeks or so over my holiday break.

Now that I'm weighing myself every day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night, I'm noticing that I'm quite prone to sudden weight gains of up to two kilos (4 1/2 pounds).  Fortunately, I'm using 'body fat' scales.  They should really be called 'hydration scales' because the 'body fat percentage' that the scales show is not just affected by your body fat, but also by your hydration, the amount of fluid in your body (and its also affected by wet feet!).
