    I'm going to echo what has been said here already, I believe you are working out too much, your body needs some rest days to recover.

    Your diet looks ok, fresh foods are equally nice and rather easy to cook. If you're just cooking for yourself, cook enough for 2 or 4 and put half in the freezer. It's going to taste much better plus you control the salt content. I did notice you typically don't go over any of the macros you are tracking but you did this week. Just one day of too much salt will cause your body to retain water. Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of water and getting enough fiber.

    Take it one day at a time and allow yourself to have a few days off. I don't workout every day and I still have my treats and such. This is a lifelong journey and you need to be happy and this has to be sustainable.

    God bless

    i would love to take a day off from the gym but if i don't i tend to get incredibly stressed out about my eating and my diet and i feel horrible about myself if i haven't done some form of cardio that day. but i will definitely try and drink more water and get more fiber. i'm slowly going to make the transition from frozen meals to fresh meals! thank you!
