How bout you?

 

The last two days when I've gotten home from work, I've noticed large amounts of swelling in the ankle area.  It's TOO SOON!!! HAHAHA!  I'm not ready to lose my ankles!  They are better this morning, still a bit swollen.  womp womp woooooomp.

Me too and the uuuuugly veins to boot.  Thank Goodness it is fall here in jersey and I can cover them up.  I noticed my swelling has gone down some after I stopped drinking Gatorade.

Up your water and watch your salt.

Now you have the perfect excuse to relax for the whole day!!! ( I have to clean or my SO may go on strike LOL)

All I drink is water, literally.  I very rarely drink anything else.  And I practically main line it all day.   They salt thing is somewhat relevant.

 

And I wish I could relax today.  I have a wedding and groom's cake to finish and deliver by 3.

i use maternity compression stockings made by dr scholls. i know, it sounds sort of old lady-ish, but they really help! i am on my feet for at least half of the day (i work 3x 10 hour shifts per week) and was having really achey legs prior to getting the stockings.

i am also terrified (irrationally) of varicose veins. the stockings are supposed to help with those and with swelling. 

I work in a kitchen so I'm on my feet 5 days a week for 8-10 (sometimes 12) hours a day.  Plus I do cakes on the side from home, so I'm often on my feet after work and on Saturdays too.  I might have to try the stockings.  Whatever works!

I'm on my feet most of the day too. Swelling has been minimal but I've seen some varicose veins popping up. Not cool. Those maternity stockings are expensive! LOL I was thinking like $10 a pop... nope!

I've got the varicose veins, but not the swelling yet thankfully!  I am so scared of the swelling!  I teach tap and since I haven't even picked out my recital music yet I'm worried my feet will outgrow my tap shoes before I get the dances taught!!!
