Weight loss 0 ggrr
Start of a new week, always think I will have a treat on the first day of a new week, but so far I havent, I just cant seem to do it , very strange. Even this morning I thought sod it I am having a coffee with milk, and I couldnt bring myself to have one :/ very odd.
I've just had creme fraiche with a spoon of sweetener and a couple drops of lemon juice for breakfast, along with 2 decaff black coffees and a hand full of almonds.
My goal this week, (though I am taking it a day at a time) is to drink more water.
I was reading something somebody posted on a forum and it makes sense totally, I will quote
"Fat cells are resilient, stubborn little creatures that do not want to give up their actual cell volume. Over a period of weeks, maybe months of "proper dieting", each of your fat cells may have actually lost a good percentage of the actual fat contained in those cells. But the fat cells themselves, stubborn little guys, replace that lost fat with water to retain their size. That is, instead of shrinking to match the reduced amount of fat in the cell, they stay the same size! Result - you weigh the same, look the same, maybe even gained some scale weight, even though you have actually lost some serious fat."
So I need to start drinking more water so the fat cells dont think there is a drought on and dont let go of it.
It seems pretty logical to me- fat cells keep hold of fat when the body is on low fat diet, flood the body with fat and the cells no longer need to keep hold of the fat as there is plenty. OK so they keep their size and fill up with water instead, so flood the body with water so the fat cells wont need to hold on to so much.
Think I have ahad a bit of a light bulb moment about that.
Ok so lots of water today, plus the weather is very deliciously gorgeously warm just now.
Oh I had a quick measure of my waist & boobs, I have lost an inch off my waist, and some off my boobs half an inch I think, so thats good. I also will start my walking again when the kids go back to school on Tuesday .
