Reverse Diet 4 - Weeks 3 & 4: Vacay YOLO Macro Results

I'm back from my family vacation, where I ate, drank, and was perhaps a little too merry at times.. ;P I had an absolute blast and ate intuitively for the most part. I tried to hit my protein, continued to lift, and just enjoyed the heck out of my time! As you can see, I ate the best churro of my life on this vacation. In fact, I ate 2 of them with NO RAGRETS.

As I mentioned in the last post, I used Avatar Nutrition's vacation mode feature to let the system know that I would be on vacation and not hitting my macros. I have never used this feature before, so when I got back I left it on vacation mode for another week and hit my previous week's macros, as I expected that my weight would drop back down some.

I only weighed myself a few times during the vacation, and and it ranged from 133-135.5. After hitting my normal macros for a week, my weight did as expected (see chart). This week, avatar kept me on those same macros. I probably should have taken it off vacation mode as soon as I got back (so I'd have a macro increase), but to be safe and conservative, I kept it on as I hit my previous macros. It's all good, that's what experimenting is all about!

START                   130.0                 128                        145                40             1452

Moral of the story -- don't freak out about macros on vacation! Just be smart about it, enjoy it fully, and your weight will go back down once you're back in the swing of things!
