Five Pounds in One Day

To: Ash

From: Crecente

Every three or four years for most of my adult life I get hit with this bizarre, and very nasty, stomach bug. It usually hits me in the evening and has in the past always resulted in my being taken to the emergency room where a doctor declares that he has never seen anyone as dehydrated as me.

I guess I can mark it off my leap year calendar now, because I spent yesterday in bed concentrating on trying not to expunge what little liquid I managed to sip between clenched teeth. The bug struck about 3 a.m. Thursday morning and didn’t leave until I’d say about the same time Friday.

Today I woke up feeling rested but worn. I got on the scale to discover I had lost five pounds in one day. I know it was one day because I weighed myself two mornings before to see how my fitness program was going.

I guess that’s what happens when your entire intake for 30 hours or so is a 20 ounce bottle of water… and you don’t finish it.
