Reverse Diet 2 - Ladies Only Post

9/2/2015

Warning: This is a ladies only post so dudes put on yo earmuffs.

Last week I made an accurate prediction, if you know what I'm saying! :P So, macros will stay the same this week, just as I did during the week of 7/29. I want this to be as accurate as possible so I will rule out my period as a cause of lasting weight gain. I don't know what the deal is but during this time, I feel like my workouts suck and I don't have as much energy. Anyone else feel that way? Just curious.. Another interesting observation I've noticed is that the higher my calories are, the more hardcore my period is (in all aspects). Maybe my bodyfat is just higher, but my guess is it's a combination of those factors. Even though it hurts, I'm happy because at least it means my body is healthy unlike before I started this blog and didn't have a period for an entire year. Not cool! Thank God for reverse dieting!

In other news, my calories are so high that for the first time ever I am able to fit half a pint of ben & jerry's into my macros and still get my fiber in for the day. So I'm doing that tonight! Kind of random but I'm obsessed with ice cream so I consider it a blog-worthy benchmark for me.

I've got a few new exciting things I'll be talking about in the next couple weeks, yay! So stay tuned... and have a great week my friends! <3

Out of curiosity, it's awesome that ice cream fits your macros - I try to figure treats into my day too :) But, do you track your sugar? I could fit ice cream in too if not for the sugar content. Just wondering! Xx

Unless you are diabetic or have some kind of medical issue.. don't worry about sugar. Just make sure you hit your fiber, eat lots of veggies and whole foods, but don't worry about sugar. If you're tracking carbs you've got it covered. :)

Girl omg yes! I was just talking about this. My period has finally been consistent for the past couple of months (I once went 3 years without a period, not ok)... and now that I'm at a higher weight and was at a higher caloric level it's heavier and is lasting foreverrrrr. It sucks, but at least my body is working properly lol YAY BEN&JERRYS!!!

Dang 3 years?!?! I think we have similar weird period problems :P AND YES, when I am at a higher caloric level mine is more intense if ya know what I'm saying! Haha! The body is so interesting… I'm glad both of ours are now working properly and we can eat ben and jerry's! One day we have to hang out and eat ben & jerrys together XD!! <3

I definitely agree with the whole workouts sucking during your period part! The workouts themselves don't suck, but for some reason I feel like my legs get much more achy and tired when I'm on my period even though I haven't done anything to make them sore!

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I?d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don?t mind. Natually I?ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
