This reverse diet update accounts for two weeks since I did not take a progress picture the previous week. So, this is progress for the period of 15 November 2014 – 29 November 2014. A funny thing I noticed during these two weeks was that my weight had increased somewhat by the end of the week, but after I adjusted my macros on Sunday (increased them) my weight had dropped the next day (Monday). Also, another factor that played a role in my unstable weight readings, besides the different weigh in times, was that during week 1, I did my only HIIT cardio session on Friday instead of the usual Tuesday as I was writing exams that week. Usually my weight tapers down mid-week due to my cardio session so early on. Week 1 (15-22 Nov) = I did my HIIT cardio on Friday, every other day y macros was on point, except for Friday the 21st when I went over my macros (carbs & fats). I had some treats that I accounted for- A magnum ice cream, some Woolworths Wild Dog gums and a chocolate log… Which, by the way, already send me over my macros. I also had 3 slices of home baked banana bread with some margarine, which I didn’t account for… so all in all, my guesstimation would be that I was over 25.5 g fats and 66g carbs total. My weights for this week was: Sunday- 59.0 ; Monday- 57.4 ; Tuesday- 57.7 ; Wednesday- 59.1 ; Thursday- 58.2 ; Saturday- 58.5 Week 2 (22-29 Nov) = This week I did not even do my HIIT cardio session at all. It was also evident in my weight readings, as I went up slowly. My macros went great this week, nothing over, nothing under. My weight dropped again by Monday after I increased my macros on Sunday, which is weird. My weights for this week was: Sunday- 59.5 ; Monday- 57.1 ; Tuesday: either 57.9 / 59.0 since my scale is dumb and never shows the same number.. these two came up most! Wednesday- 59.2 ; Thursday- 60.2 (my first 60kg mark) & Saturday- 60.2 My weight in this progress picture of my reverse diet may not be accurate because I forgot to whey myself and only remembered after I already drank water and ate half of my big bowl of porridge.. and I was also already fully dressed for gym, in my clothes as well as gym shoes!

Another semi perfect week.. No cravings, no binging, no limitations, no restrictions, no sadness... Just a little weekend enjoyment! My last progress picture was taken on the 7th of November, Friday, since I went fishing with my boyfriend for that weekend. On Friday the 7th, I had prepacked snacks for the road and I accounted for dinner that we were supposed to have at a restaurant, but plans were changed in the last minute and I decided a nice family meal out of my macros once in a while isn't of any concern. So I enjoyed gourmet Chicken Stirfry with a Salted caramel Milkshake as well as a lot of complimentary peppermints on the table, because I seriously am a sucker for free food. I had all my meals and snacks ready in my Sixpack Fitness Meal Bag for the 8 hours on the boat Saturday the 8th. We came home late that afternoon and I enjoyed a slice of my mom's homemade milktart and lemon meringue, which I didn't account for and it didn't bother me at all. Sunday to Friday, I hit my macros perfectly every day. My period also started on Monday so my weight was high all week, but it will taper down when I finish. I woke up Sunday ,the 9th, after the weekend goodies weighing 59.2 ; Monday= 59.2 ; Wednesday= 59.2 ; Thursday= 58.4 and Friday 59.0. My scale weigh does not bother me since this was probably the first time I didn't feel bloated and flabby on my period, also after the weekend indulges, I still felt as lean as the week before, not that I'm lean, just that I felt no different.

These posts now seem to follow a similar pattern.. my weeks keep getting better... and I keep increasing my food, that makes for a happy camper.. I enjoy camping in carbland =D This is a day early progress picture since I'm leaving this afternoon to go fishing with my boyfriend on Saturday (tomorrow) a a dam close-by. And by fishing I mean sitting on the boat for 8 hours while getting a bad sunburn and attempting, but failing, to study for my exam. Oh, and enjoying 6 pre packed meals or snacks throughout the sweaty day. I enjoyed lots of yummy meals this week, like crumbed chicken breasts, Tuna and Mayo sandwiches, rice cakes with peanut butter and mixed fruit jam/preserve, pan fried garlic potatoes and Oat Pops cereal! Despite the fact that I'm strictly following my macros and doing the exact same training daily, my weight fluctuates seriously on a daily basis. I did notice, again, that my early weigh ins (07:00 AM-ish) are much higher than when I wake up later (08:00 AM-ish). I attribute this mainly to the fact that I drink a shit load of water daily and I still pee out most of it after I wake up.. Weigh ins for the week: Sunday= 58.2 ; Monday= 58.8 ; Wednesday= 59.3 ; Thursday= 58.1 and Friday= 58.7

Holy weight fluctuations.. My macros were on point every single day this week.. I enjoyed 3 wraps during the week as well as some candy and an ice cream, all accounted for though. As the weeks go by and as I'm more consistent, I keep feeling better about myself and about how I look. I'm amazed at how much I am able to eat, and I'm still going to be reverse dieting for some time so I'm excited to see how much more my body can handle. My weigh ins for the week, 24 Oct - 1 Nov: Saturday= 58.7 ; Sunday= 59.3 ; Monday= 58.7 ; Wednesday= 58.4 ; Thursday= 59.0 ; Friday= 58.9 ; Saturday= 58.9. So, it seems like this weeks macros were well tolerated by my body, not it's time to up them again... Yay carbs!! One negative thing I'll say, and that I've always said.. "dear Fat, why you no leave my hips" Even at my leanest, I still held some fat around my hips.. Oh well, gotta embrace my hourglass figure, the fat will melt off (sloooowly) when I cut back down again.
