I binged after posting of course, then started fasting monday morning, then broke for a hundred calories of spinach dip [i didn't even bother eating the chips] and then went to go wallow in cold water for 30 minutes before going to sleep.
I went from 128.8 lbs yesterday morning, to 124.4 this morning.
What the fuck?
THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU SO MUCH I PROMISE NOT TO EVER EAT SPINACH DIP AGAIN I SWEAR!
Not sure why ana randomly decided to smile on me, and help me out, but now that ive got a couple pounds off, im ready to go at this again full blast.
I was reading up on the whole 'cold water burns calories' thing and i came across this question posted on the internet: "why do some people think showering in cold water and doing house work burns calories? why don't they understand that nothing burns calories except working out?"
I wanted to shove my hand through the screen, and slap the shit out of the person who asked that.
How ridiculously slow do you have to be to honestly think that nothing burns calories except working out?
If that were the case, we would all be fat slobbering animals devoid of any personal relationships or true happiness.
As far as i've reserached, being in the cold has a huge impact on the amount of calories your body burns. luckily, I payed attention in biology [sort of?] and I know that the reason we burn calories is because of a process called thermogenesis.
look it up, I don't feel like explaining.
Thermogenesis can also be caused artificially with ephedra, ginger, bitter orange, capsicum, caffeine, etc.
ephedra isnt sold in diet pill form anymore but you can still buy it in the form of an asthma medication. [cough, bronkaid cough]. If you mix Bronkaid with a 25 mg caffeine tablet and an Asprin, it makes the eca stack that was banned.
PLEASE DON'T KILL YOURSELVES WITH THIS.
IF you try it, start out by halfing the dosage and dont ever take more than 1 [25 mg] caffeine tablet, 1 tablet of Bronkaid, and 1 Asprin mix a day.
In fact, actually, i don't recommend you listen to me because "im just a person over the internet and should any health risks occur, i will not be liable".
sometimes, I wonder why I know this stuff.
Anyways, what i was getting at, is that did you know sleeping with a blanket for an average of 8 hours will burn 396 calories, but sleeping without a blanket with the temperature turned down 10 degrees lower than normal, will burn 650 calories a night?
sorry for any reposts
XOXO Sophia Ruins <3
that showering thing sound really hard but if it works...:) so one shower 5minutes ice cold then warm then cold again? the b*without blanket and 10° lower* thing micght work but the main problem I think will be to not get awfully ill because u r so cold. or even to get to sleep by feeling this awkward :C
ReplyDeleteOhhh I'm going to chug ice water for the rest of the night!
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on the fantastic loss, you really deserve it!
Love the Thinspo Sophia Ruins! and damn, overnight 4 lbs? I SOOO wish that was me...
ReplyDeletewow, 4lb, overnight, nice!
ReplyDeleteI should really try the cold bath/no blanket thing! it'll be hard though because it's winter, but if it works...
well done on your loss,
nice pictures!
I hope your okay x
Okay..its decided. I am GOING to try the cold water thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's worked for u what? Twice now...good on ya for the weight loss!!
Agh love it! No blanket for me tonight. Although I must recommend a fan instead of turning the AC down 'cuz 1) it uses less electricity 2) if you live with other people they may get cold and cranky haha
ReplyDeletewow, great loss. i am going to try the water thing tomorrow, the only thing is, how cold exactly do you get your water? is it like, a little less than room temp or all the way as cold as it runs? i tried looking up how many calories it burns but the internet sucks on this sort of info i guess. stay strong

I guess I'm throwing away my comforter and blankets from now on =) The thinspo is fucking gorgeous! Congratulations on the amazing weight loss. It's strange, but whenever I run into a strange weight fix I don't like sharing it on the internet...it's a strange phobia that all of a sudden someone is going to be skinnier than I am all because I helped them out lol! What I'm getting at is thank you for not being a selfish bitch (like me) haha!
