Giggles

I seem to be on a roll - so glad my head has gotten into the right place!  Of course it really helps when the scale is going in the right direction :)
I stepped on it again this morning and woohoo!
I got over my good one week, bad the next...
I have been tracking faithfully - even the handfuls of chocolate chipits and licks and nibbles.
and WATER - I have been drinking like a fish! 
hmm do fish drink water?

The answer to this question differs, depending on whether you're talking about saltwater fish or freshwater fish.


Freshwater fish do not actively drink water, but absorb the water through their skin and gills. On the other hand, saltwater fish do actively drink sea water. Their gills process the water and take out the salt.

The salmon is an interesting example of a fish that lives in both fresh and salt water, and consequently, they have the characteristics of both types of fish. Salmon are born in fresh water, and migrate to the ocean. While living in the ocean, they drink saltwater by opening their mouth; their gills then rid their bodies of the salt and minerals. When the salmon enters freshwater streams to spawn, they stop drinking the water and instead absorb it through osmosis (osmosis means that the water passes through the cells of the fish's skin into its body).

I don't know about you but I was really curious on that question.
Speaking of fish... did you notice the ones on my blog at the top of the page that follow your mouse?  I have them well trained :D

Okay, now that I have this out of my system ... its time to get back to work! hehe
