I went on holiday for a little more than a week: NO exercise and NO tracking my intake. I didn’t eat nearly enough food during this time and was way under all 3 macronutrients. I didn’t feel hungry and ate like 2 meals a day with a snack or 2 in between.
 
After this holiday, I ended up losing 3.3 kg’s and could feel a difference on my body. I’ll slowly start tracking my food loosely for the remainder of December and will start tracking more strictly in January.
 
During my time away, I enjoyed treats daily, whether it was ice cream, frozen yoghurt or chocolates. I also didn’t miss the gym at all; I enjoyed my time being completely off and just relaxing!

I did not follow any set macros and did not even track!

This will be the last entry for my reverse diet / bulking. I will no longer be posting updates on this section of the blog. A "cutting" section might be added to my website sometime. For now, I will continue to maintain my weight and no longer increase my numbers.

So, I've been saying I'm going to stop my reverse diet and maintain at my current macro-nutrient intake for weeks. I finally decided that I'm no longer going to increase my calories or macro breakdowns. I've been at the same calories and macros for 3 weeks, including this coming week, with no increase, so technically my reverse diet ended 3 weeks ago- 29 November.

As my header states "the end of my reverse diet... for now" I'll be ending my reverse diet on the caloric intake mentioned below foe now. "For now" could be a month, 6 months or permanently depending on how often I can hit my targets, if I start to lose weight on my current numbers, if I feel I can handle more fat (and scale weight) gain or if I feel hungry (DEFINITELY NOT lol).

This past week (or actually weekend) I hit my targets 100% and my weight didn't go up, it stayed 72.3 kg or 72.4 kg so I'm not gaining weight on these numbers!

Training wise, I did hit a new PR on deadlifts @ 127.5 kg for 3 repetitions and also increased my weight on barbell military press @ 29.5 kg for 10 repetitions.

My intake for the past three weeks: (progress photo taken at the start of week 3)

Calories- 3955

• Protein- 135 g
• Carbs- 550 g
• Fat- 135 g
  

I haven't posted a reverse diet picture or blog in a few weeks due to being lazy, taking time off from studies, watching endless amounts of series and actually forgetting to take pictures on weekends.

I'm having a HARD time hitting my macros since I'm in lazy vacation mode, AKA: sleeping in, watching series, watching movies, not making food or meals to eat, updating my website with recipes and free fitness documents and training later the day. I probably hit my targets two or three times this past 2 weeks.

Me and my boyfriends are going to the beach in 1 week and my body-fat gain have not yet affected me negatively, we'll see about that when I browse for bikinis in my underwear bin later next week lol. Usually before holidays, I'd exercise more, eat less and be beach body ready, not this time though, actually that has not happened once since 2013. Since 2014, I go with the flow... flow AKA weight gain.

My intake for the past two weeks:

Calories- 3955

• Protein- 135 g
  
• Carbs- 550 g
• Fat- 135 g
