Chunky Monkey!

I've lost three pounds in the last 3 weeks... I'm trying to eat a little smarter. Less at lunch and better snacks (I normally have candy stashed in my desk) like veggies and fruit. I'm not trying to lose weight ... just trying to make better choices when it comes to what I eat. Oh, now my point...

Last week I was at the an annual festival in Atlanta and my hands were swollen. My ring finger was almost to the point that it was a dark purple-blue color. After a bit of a struggle my rings were off my finger and the blood was moving again... but why did it happen and how did it happen after I had even lost some weight? I know your fingers can swell in summer months, or if you are dehydrated so I didn't think much of it since we were outside in he sun. But it continued to happen this week... so my question now is... do I get my ring resized?

I don't want to jump the gun, but I don't want my ring to not fit all summer either. I'm not really sure how they resize a ring in the first place. Do they thin it out? Do they add gold? And how much exactly is this going to cost?

I know what I'm going to be searching on Google tonight :)
