I put my reverse diet on a pause for the week I visited my friend in the City between the 17th and 23rd of November. Out of the 7 days I spent there. I counted (and hit) my macros twice. The rest of the time I had my healthy meals when I was hungry, I enjoyed home cooked meals or takeaways often and perhaps may have over-indulged in sweet treats! Here is my 2 week progress for the week I was away and for the week I'm back at home.
My bus left at 10 AM on Wednesday, the 24th of November, since then I've been reverse dieting again and hitting my macros daily, except a minor free for all on Sunday, the 28th of November. To my surprise, I weighed in at 59.2 kg's on Thursday the 25th. I knew I was going to weigh much more than usual since I only weight trained twice during my stay and only hit my macros twice as well.
I was surprised I didn't gain as much, usually when my weekends (or even 1 day a weekend) consisted out of an entire binge, I'd weigh in 59.something the day after, and that was while I did train daily! So, when I came back from my holiday I weighed in the exact same, whilst not even training and being way over my calorie goals everyday (minus 2 days) . That means, either my previous binges were super bad or I didn't eat as much in excess as I thought I did during my week off.
After 3 days of hitting my macros and throwing in a HIIT sprinting session, I was down to 57.9 kg's again on Friday, the 27th of November. Every day since my arrival has been great, I did experience a small rebound on Sunday though. I had a chocolate fitted into my macros and decided to eat late lunch with my family (who obviously don't count macros) so the idea that I had eaten foods that I wasn't sure of their macros made me think I blew it. So for the rest of the day, I did not binge, but I had lots of cookies here and there, enjoyed supper that I did not account for, as well as a chocolate pre bedtime. It's a process, so it's fine, since then I've hit my macros again daily, although it did set me back a little bit as I weighed 59.6 kg's on Monday. I woke up this morning weighing 58.0 kg's so it's all good.
