🏖️ HOLIDAY WEIGHT GAIN… OR A BODY COMPOSITION WIN? 🤔
I came back from holiday 2.5kg heavier… and at first glance, you might think, “Oops! Time to get back on track!” 😅
But this is exactly why the number on the scales doesn’t tell the whole story. 👇
📈 +2.5kg overall body weight
💪 +3.1kg muscle
Lots of swimming and physio on my frozen shoulder definitely played its part! 🏊♀️
💧 +1.9% body water
Lots of water… and yes, a few Amaretto & Cokes too! 😂🥃
🔥 -2.4% body fat
All inclusive doesn’t need to be inhale the lot. Lots of protein, salads and yes, I ate a pud with dinners.
⏳ -5 years metabolic age
Maybe relaxing, enjoying myself and giving my body a break really did me some good! 🙌
So, should I be panicking because the scales are 2.5kg higher?
Absolutely not. ❤️
This is why I always say: DON’T LET ONE NUMBER DEFINE YOUR PROGRESS.
Weight can fluctuate for so many reasons — muscle, hydration, food, exercise and more.
Looking at body composition and the bigger picture can give you a much more useful insight into what’s actually happening.
Sometimes your body is changing in ways the scales simply can’t show. 💚
✨ The lesson?
Enjoy the holiday.
Enjoy the swimming.
Enjoy the drinks.
Remember that progress isn’t always about weighing less!
Now… time to reset and keep doing what works on the next 21 day challenge 💪🌿
