Just a little side-blog because I don't want to go on about dieting in my main blog, some people just don't wanna keep reading about that sorta thing! I just want to be happy with my body and the way I look, and I guess losing a bit of weight is my first step to achieving that goal. I hope you find it useful!

| Crazy water retention! (I Think...) |
Hiii, sorry it's been a while since my last post, but It's been a bit hectic.
I was 134lbs last time I wrote in here, but *then* I had a night out! For some reason I always way a few lbs less the morning after I've been out drinking and dancing. I've always suspected that this was because I'm dehydrated and therefore have lost fluid weight from my body. This seems to be true because Alcohol is a diuretic, and I found this quote on a website (http://www.alac.org.nz/BodyEffect.aspx?PostingID=671): "Alcohol is diuretic. This means it encourages the body to lose more water than it takes on by halting the production of the body's anti-diuretic hormone, resulting in you needing to go to the toilet excessively and so speeding up the loss of fluid from your body, leading to dehydration."
This makes sense, but the weight loss and gain I experienced on Saturday/Sunday was insane! Basically, I weighed 134.3lbs before I went out. The next morning I woke up (slightly still drunk!) and weighed in at 128lbs!!! Which is a crazy 6lbs weight loss in a single night. Before anyone comments, I've checked my scales. They are digital and have almost no margin for error. Now, I thought just for fun I'd weigh myself before I went to bed and guess what.....138.2lbs!!! That's 10lbs in less than a day! It's crazy! I suppose when you think of the few litres of water I drank during the day, and I didn't pee much, and I ate a HECK of a lot...so all that coulda weighed 10lbs (plus water retention).
I HAD to write this because it's crazy but true. Has anyone else ever experienced this? It happens to me a lot but this is the most extreme I've ever had it.
Aside from this, the diet is going OK but I had a serious OFF day the day after I went out. I find it near impossible to avoid carbs with even the slightest hangover. I did well for the first part of the day but then gave in! SO weak...
And it completely threw me for a couple of days but now I'm back to 137lbs which is sad cos I got down to 134! Gotta keep it on the wagon now.Labels: binge drinking, dancing, diet, drinking, weight gain, weight loss |

| About Me |
|
Name: Stace
Home: Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom
About Me: I'm crazy! Only joking...though some people probably think I actually am! I'm a 21 year old pianist/singer from Kent, England who loves anything pretty, random, creative and a little bit different, because I am a little bit different, but I love it! I enjoy things like sunsets and beautiful scenes in nature, along with geeky stuff like Chemistry and word origins (Shhh!), history and stuff like that. When I was little I wanted to be an archaeologist, and then a teacher, and then a famous musician, and then a tri-lingual translator...and now it's back to the famous musician, I'm not holding my breath but I'm crossing my fingers! Once I pull my finger out and get my stuff recorded properly, that is...
Also, I love to create. Anything. Drawings, Paintings, Photos, Music, Poetry, even dinner! Because everytime you create something you make an extension of your soul, like a tree growing new branches :)
There, that's all...have I bored you? :P
