Gemma's Diary Mixed Days - red, green, EE - new to EE advice welcome

Well I'm absolutely devastated, I put 2lb on at WI last night :sigh: I was so upset I have no idea what I've done wrong! I thought about it last night and I've come to the conclusion that it could be either one of two things, my Doctor has been messing around with my contraception, she changed my pill a few weeks back and then I had the implant in my arm last week so it could be my hormones playing havoc (really hope it isn't the implant as that is there for 3 years so I'm hoping it isn't that making me gain weight...) or the fact that I have been exercising, my muscles have been really sore and I know they can retain fluid when you first start exercising, so I'm hoping that's down to the gain... Because I really haven't done anything I shouldn't! I'm so upset :(
 
Tuesday 21/05/2013 - GREEN DAY:

B: 35g porridge (HEB), 400ml Smart Price Unsweetened Soya Milk (HEA), Blueberries
L: Mugshot, Asda Fat Free Yoghurt (5 syns), banana, grapes, nectarine
D: SW Mushroom Risotto, 35g Parmesan Cheese (HEA), syn free pancake, 2 tsp Hartley's jam (1 syn), strawberries
HiFi Light Bar (3 syns), x2 Alpen Lights (HEB), Mullerlight Lemon Cheesecake flavour (1 syn)

Still had my pancake to drown my sorrows!!ha
 
So sorry to hear that Gemma :( both the reasons you mentioned though could definitely have been the cause of your gain. I remember starting body pump classes and I put on about 4lb as my muscles were so sore! Really disheartening I know but hopefully will calm down within a few weeks. Have your measurements changed? If you feel down just remember how far you have come hun and you are such an inspiration! You have done amazingly well and just remember your size 8 that you bought the other day ;)

Please stay positive! x
 
Awww thanks Gill I was so upset but feeling more positive today in the knowledge it's not down to something I have done so trying to stay positive! I'll just keep an eye on it, I have had a massive increased appetite since I had the implant put in, it's the same hormone as the injection and I'm always like that when I have my injection so maybe it's just my body settling into the hormone changes.

I'm trying to mix thing up a bit, I feel a lot better doing red days but they are just sooo expensive with the meat and fish and fresh salad all the time! I'm going to stick to good food this weekend and stick to my vodka and slimline tonics, I think being a bit naughty sometimes gives your body and metabolism a kick up the backside!

I know I'm not going to get myself upset about it, it's done now and so long as I get back on track that's the main thing! I as out and about so much that I just ate on the go, didn't help that I attended two BBQ's either! But I haven't got anything on now for a good few weeks so I can get back on track x
