I fell off the wagon! I went on vacation in Hawaii a couple weeks ago (which ended up being super dramatic and I came home 3 days early), and ever since, I just let my health and fitness go by the wayside. I was all, “I want a carnitas burrito and Carne asada fries! Diet soda all day! Who cares about my feeding window? Give me all the potatoes! What’s a ‘gym’? Water? Never heard of that. Thruster?! I don’t even know her!” And so on. And I kept forgetting to take my medication for my menier’s (a water retention disease that affects the inner ear, causing hearing loss, lightheadedness, and fainting), so, guess what happened! I gained 20 (that’s TWENTY!) pounds in 10 days! Honestly, when I saw that on the scale this morning, I completely freaked out! I let myself have a pity party for about half an hour, but then I put my butt into gear. I’ve scheduled my workouts through June, I’m back to my normal intermittent fasting window of 11am to 7pm, daily cardio in the early afternoon, lifting in the evening (because it matches up with my sessions with my personal trainer [I’ll discuss later why I, a trainer, have my own trainer]), with yoga or sprint 8s every other day, and active rest days every Sunday. My diet is back to normal with 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fat, and I’m tracking my input and output (for now) with mfp. And I took my meds! Haha I had lost 6lbs at the end of the day, so I’m 100% sure the gain was almost all water weight. There’s no lesson to this post haha this is just how my day went 😊
