Rant: Water weight is the absolute worst...
M/28/6'7"/HW: 416/SW: 396/CW: 379
So Friday is my weigh in date, and as of Friday I was down 16+lbs in 3 weeks. I've been walking 5+ miles every day (outside of 2-3 rest days) and counting calories rigorously. So this Saturday I decided to wake up early and really push myself. I walked 10 miles from my apartment to the bottom of Manhattan - easier than I expected but my legs were jello a few hours later. That night I had way too much to eat/drink but with the 2000+ calories I burned on my walk plus the ~3200 for my BMR, there was no way it was enough to do that much damage. Well I wake up yesterday and I'm up 10lbs. Okay, not insane, I've seen my body fluctuate like that after a night out before so no big deal - it usually drops quite a bit the next day. Yesterday I ate at maintenance and didn't work out because my legs were very sore and I was hungover, but I expected to lose some of the water weight. Nope, up another 2 lbs this morning...
I get it, cheating on weekends plus workouts can lead to huge swings in water weight, but its so frustrating and such a mental game to convince yourself that you didn't just ruin all of the progress from the last few weeks. Today I ate my 2,200 calories plus a 5 mile walk, so I'm back on track but I'm really hoping that the water starts to fall off over the next few days.
TLDR: Pushed myself on my workout this weekend while also cheating led to me gaining back 2/3rd of my weight lost in water and I hate it.
