Although I am packing in my food scale and a whole bag of groceries for my one week trip to visit my best friend, not to mention the truckload of gym clothing, I know deep down that I'm not going to be as strict with my reverse diet or exercise. And for once, I'm completely at peace with that. I'm at peace with the fact that I might gain back some scale weight or body fat. I'm at peace with the fact that I might lose some strength. In general, I'm just at peace with the fact that this one week might set me back, and that it might take another week to get back to where I was. But it's fine, I'm in no rush. I'm enjoying my life, balancing all the important things.
Here is a short "reverse diet update" for the period between the 13th September (Saturday) to the 16th September (Tuesday) since I'm leaving today at 07:00 AM (Wednesday) to visit my bestest best friend in the City.
I have dropped 0.4 kg's but I usually weigh around this mid-week anyway. After a nice braai (barbecue) with my boyfriend on Saturday 13th, I ended up weighing the exact same Sunday morning as I did during my Saturday weigh-in and progress photo. My body finally responds normally to sodium. Monday's Upper Body Power day went AWESOME! I felt stronger than usual, I ended up doing more pull-ups than usually (yeah, 1 rep more still counts), my weighted push-ups also increased and I didn't struggle with adding weight to my shoulder presses either!
