I have those unexplained overnight gains of a couple of pounds, too. Seems they always come around weigh-in day, or on a day when I need a boost, not a thump!

I did not even try to get to the mall last night after it opened for walking. Frankly, I just didn't want be around people in that type of buying frenzy, although I was hoping for the sake of the stores and their staff that business would be good for them last night. This is one of those malls that is struggling. As a walker, I still appreciate its nice wide walkways and the turns and twists and stairs. I expect it will soon go the way of other malls in this area--to what they called "mixed use" with (groan) luxury condos, retail, and business. And of course, the land is so valuable here, they'll go from 2 stories to 12 stories to make sure that they put a lot more cars on our already overcrowded roads. Sorry--personal beefs. I'm becoming one of those crotchety old ladies.

Anyway, I worked today (Friday) and am now trying to get the oomph to go to the mall. It's extremely cold here and still a little windy, so even bundling up won't make an outdoor walk very feasible.

Light, I'm still hoping that more water will help me lessen those overnight weight jumps. I'll let you know.
