Still gaining weight after vacation. XD
Hey guys, so I got married on 5/27/12 and we went on our honeymoon immediately afterwards.
About 20 or so days before the wedding, my weight was holding steady around 153 lbs, but I still had a lot of body fat for my build. I started doing some workout dvds in a rotation(30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30, some Cindy Whitmarsh dvds) and I did them about 5-6 days a week. I noticed immediately upon adding in the exercise that the weight on the scale started creeping up, even though I was still adhering to my calorie limit of 1600-1800. I know that this can be a result of water weight and things changing and doesn't neccessarily indicate fat gain. By my wedding, I was 156 lbs, but I did feel that I was seeing improvements in my appearance for sure.
We went on the honeymoon to Jamaica and we did eat/drink quite a bit more than usual. I did not do any dedicated exercise there, but we were still fairly active as we did a LOT of walking. I expected that I had probably gained a few lbs from the excess calories and I made peace with that. When I got home, the scale read 158.6. I accepted this and the very next day started back on plan with a healthier diet and exercise.
However, I've noticed that even since being back(returned Sunday), every day went I get on the scale it is still creeping up? 158.6 to 158.9 to 159.3 to 159.9 and today 160.3. It's a little disheartening to see that I'm back in the 160s again, honestly. I understand that some of it may again be water weight from the trip and from starting to exercise again--I guess I just want to hear someone elses opinion than my own since I have effectively gone up 8 lbs in 3 weeks on the scale. Thanks!
