Frances' PP Diary

Woohoo done it again. Was STARVING n out n about. Was considering chippy r maccers n settled on chippy. Wudn b as hi as a big mac meal n much more filling. So was on my way there n was thinkin about it.... Do I really wana hav it n undo my 100% record over the last 2 r 3 weeks???? Nah.. So home n made a toasted blt bagel with cheese :D Go me :D
 
Not been a great day. Wasn't bold in the sense of over eating r makin bold choices. Was bold in the sense of not eating enough.

Water: none :(
Drinks: diet coke. Cappuccino. Coffee

Brekkie: none

Lunch: chicken stir fry. Last nights left overs so only a small portion.

Dinner: BLT on ww bagel with cheese x2 (pig I but was starved!! Still kinda hungry but kno once food settles I'll b fine. So don't need/want more food)

Pps used: 2/49
 
I think its this simply filling, I don't have the compulsion to eat rubbish since I started it really, I've had 1 chrunchie and 1 cadbury cream egg since I started and purely because my hubby gave them to me and said I need a wee treat lol, I haven't had a craving for a take away and when I ate out yesterday I had a chicken salad because i WANTED it! Loving simply filling x

I'm on the pill but my cramping is still bad. I dunno why! Just take a painkiller if its too much hon. Nurofen express maybe or feminax? Tea, couple squares choc and a hot water bottle.? I'm working from home today luckily so I'm sitting in comfy clothes.

Yea but initially I went on the pill to sort out my bad periods n it worked.. Barely any pain n only 24 hours of bleeding.. And I could have almost set my watch to when they'd start n finish..
As for choccie n tea to sort 'em out.. I've never done that.. For me the only time I root for chocolate is when watching a movie n having a movie night.. I feel I gain enough when i'm "on" without adding to it with actual unnecassary calories to cause actual weight gain n not just water retention.. And I don't trust a hot water bottle.. My sister in laws little sister had one burst all over her feet when she was a kid causing her to be in hospital for almost 2 months. She got a massive claim settlement from it but her feet are still quite badly scarred n she won't wear anything that shows her feet..
Jonathan bought me one of those teddy's that ya heat in the mocrwave... but I think its mean poor little thing.. so I sit him on my electric rad n heat his bum n use that ha ha..
Took 2 of the bog standard Feminex on Saturday.. My God.. I was out of it for the day..
 
Are your weighing scales telling the truth?

Found this an interesting read so thought I'd share it.. Got it from a newsletter i'm subscribed to on The Biggest Loser..

Reasons behind unfair weight fluctuations

Do you sometimes step on the scales after a week of eating well and wonder where you went wrong? Have you ever weighed yourself the morning after a big night out and despaired about how it can take a week to lose a couple of pounds but only a few hours to gain half a stone? This week The Biggest Loser Club explains the reasons behind these unfair fluctuations.
The truth about rapid weight gain

The good news is that it is almost impossible for a sudden extra weight gain to be fat. True weight gain is slow, just as true weight loss takes time. Remember, 2lbs equals around 6,500 calories, which means if you burn around 1,800 calories every 24 hours (check your diary for your average daily burn), you would have to consume more than 8,000 calories in a single day to gain 2lbs extra of fat.
So, what’s happening? What causes your weight to drop one day and shoot up the next?
When you get on the scales you don’t just weigh your organs, muscles, bones and fat, you weigh everything in your body at the time, including:
  • the water in your system
  • the liquids you’ve recently taken in
  • the undigested food you’ve eaten
It’s these things that can cause the big fluctuations.
Water in your system

A glass of water weighs around 250g. When you drink a glass there is an immediate impact on the scales. Add some salty food into the mix and chances are you’ll see some even higher numbers. Sodium is like a magnet for water, it attracts and holds onto it.
There are other factors that encourage your body to retain extra water. Medications like high blood pressure and anti-inflammatory drugs are one. Hormones can also play a part. The ebbs and flows of female hormones throughout the month are often mirrored by the ebbs and flows of water retention. Paradoxically, drinking insufficient water is another cause of water retention. When your body senses it is becoming dehydrated, it retains as much fluid as it can.
Carbohydrate reserves

Your body stores carbohydrate for later use as glycogen in the liver and muscle tissue. Glycogen holds water in a ratio of 3g of water to 1g of glycogen, which makes it rather bulky and heavy.
Your body constantly depletes and replenishes this store of glycogen and water. When you are in weight loss mode, your reserves are low most of the time. When you refuel, your body replenishes them along with the accompanying water. Weigh yourself when your glycogen stores are low and you will see a much lighter result to when they are topped up. This is not fat, but a fluctuation brought on by your body’s natural processes.
Food weight

If you step on to the scales while holding a sandwich, you will weigh more than when you are empty handed. If you eat the sandwich, you will carry its weight until it is digested.
However, food weight and energy density are not equivalent. You are likely to gain weight if you eat 2lbs of butter because it yields around 6,500 calories, which is more extra energy than you can expend in 1 day. If you eat 2lbs of lettuce, however, you will only hold onto the extra weight for the time that it takes for it to work its way through your system and come out the other side. The calorie yield is so low, it is easily burned up.
Post workout

Exercise actually combines water loss from perspiration and respiration with glycogen loss. Straight after a workout your weight is likely to be down, but these good numbers will probably only last as long as your next drink, your next meal, or both.
Dealing with upsetting fluctuations

The day after you’ve had a night off your healthy eating plan is probably the worst time to weigh yourself. Depending on the amount of sodium in your meal, you could be retaining water, along with the extra weight from undigested and uneliminated food. If you are likely to be discouraged, stay away from the scales for a couple of days after a night off.
For those other times when there seems to be no reason for the fluctuation, think about what’s been happening in the previous few days:
  • Are you constipated?
  • Have you eaten something salty?
  • Were you dehydrated the last time you stepped on the scales?
Check your diary, because real weight gain and weight loss is all about calories in versus calories out. If you have tracked your energy equation and you have not eaten an extra few thousand calories that week, the only reason for your weight gain will be food or water weight.
Tips for weighing in

  • Use the same scales at the same time each week while wearing the same clothes, or none at all.
  • Take your waist measurements each week. If the scales go up but your waist measurements stay the same, you know it is fluid rather than fat your cells are holding.
  • Check your energy balance using your diary. It’s a fantastic predictor of weight gain
 
That's really interesting I know that already and try to explain this to friends but it is still disheartening when you put on weight people are obsessed with the scales.
 
That's really interesting, I've just copied it and pasted it to my notes so I can read it again:)
