getting back on the band wagon

I lost my motivation lately to exercise. I was still watching my diet and not gaining weight except I was retaining a lot of water. I gained 14 lbs. in 3 days. The weather has started getting a little better and decided to get my butt in gear and exercise. I had noticed I was gaining inches around my belly and felt bloated. I started exercising 3 days ago and what a difference. I have lost the water gain and my belly is smaller. I can fit in my jeans better and people are noticing. Moral to the story is you can take a few days off but not a month and if you do you can get it back quickly if you don't give up.

I'm glad that you were able to work past your drop in motivation. Here's to being active and consistent!

Good for you getting back to it! I was carrying a lot of water weight after Christmas and found that coconut water was helpful it shifting water weight. I have it everyday now as I am quite prone to water retention.
