Sitting still for consecutively long chunks of time can be detrimental to your health as well. #Does your body absorb water when you shower skinSo if you’re taking an extended bath every day, you’ll likely have a lot of bodily fluids that have been trapped in those vesicles and you’ll then have a lot of new skin that’s being exposed. These vesicles will burst eventually, and that will expose your fresh skin to the outside world, which makes you more susceptible to infection. You might think this happens because your body is absorbing liquid, but it’s actually a mechanism your body does in order to be able to grip on things in wet conditions. They’re actually vesicles, which are bubbles that have water trapped between two layers of skin-the epidermis and the dermis. Let’s come back to the pruney fingers that come from a bath. This has been a message from your friendly neighborhood honey badger….If this is starting to sound like a sci-fi horror film, just stay with us. I hope to see that 166lbs come Wednesday or Thursday! I was feeling really bloated and I still feel a little bloated so yeah, I hope to see good numbers come tomorrow or next day when Aunt Flo has packed up her sh#t and left the house. Surely enough when I got on the scale this morning it was down to 167lbs from being 170lbs all weekend. So, today, 8-30-11 is my day 4 of Aunt Flo kicking my *kitten* and this will probably be my last day of TOM. So, I feel a little better about that 4lb gain which can easily be contributed to water retention or just symptoms associated with Aunt Freaking Flo. To compare results and ensure nothing else was going on, I went back to my records from one month ago and surely enough I saw weight gain on the days prior to and during TOM. Had I weighed in only once a week and saw a 4lb weight gained, yeah, I would freaked the freak out!!! TOM is visiting so it is reflecting on the scale. So far, I've been juggling between 169bs and 170lbs since Friday. How can this possibly be healthy for someone who is trying to lose weight? Well, this is how it has helped me….įor example, last week on Thursday 8-25-11 I weighed in at 166lbs (which would have given me a +2lb loss for that week) but on my official weigh in day, Friday 8-26-11, BAM, I weighed 170lbs!!! TOM was around the corner so I knew what the culprit was. I don’t write down every single time I weigh myself but rather I record the morning reading. I have found it extremely helpful to be honest. Anyways, I started writing down and keeping track of every weigh in I did, every single day. I’ll even go to the extreme and be a little gross and tell you how stunned I was after an explosion in the bathroom to see a 1-2lbs difference on the scale. Amazing how in the morning you weighed a # and BAM in the evening you could weigh 3-4lbs heavier. At first it was more curiosity than anything. Ok, now that I got that off my chest, ever since I switched scales I started weighing myself twice a day. I think the hardest thing they have to deal with through the weight loss journey is the manbooblars. Don't you wish that some days you were a man? I know that during specific times of the month when our grumpy Aunt Flo decides to make an appearance in our lives, that is when I wish I were a man.
