I feel like my current fitness level is pretty good? I was a competitive tennis player for 10 years (but have played the sport for a good 25 years) and 2 hour intense tennis activity was a minimum for me 6-7 days of the week. It would be upwards to 5 hours depending on training and tournaments. I enjoy higher intensity…

Thank you for your reply and insight! I definitely have had a bad past with anorexia and it can definitely sneak in in ways without me realizing it and during times of higher anxiety/depression. Overall I’ve been really stable and haven’t needed treatment in 6 years. With that said, I can totally see your concern and where…

That all completely makes sense! I do use a re-lyte powder in waters and I was really consistent with it over the summer and I need to be more consistent with it again. You’re right, it can take a bit to have hydration levels balanced out! My current goal is at a maintenance phase of 1700 but deficits have been that steep…

Definitely! I try hard to have mostly complex carbs but I think you’re right, I’m waiting too long after consuming them to workout, I need to switch up my schedule! Thank you!

It totally could be that too! Lol - I’m so used to drinking a ton from breastfeeding my youngest and now I need to find the happy-medium again!

Thanks Ann! I appreciate it, truly! I’m starting to think it may be a blood sugar thing for me at this point. It’s not every time but it’s becoming more apparent. Except with yoga, that’s just the exercise that makes me feel ill from all the down dogs 🤣. But the higher intensities may be a blood sugar thing as I’m looking…

I haven’t been tracking my weight too much but deficit has been around 700-1000 each day.

Thank you! :) I do tend to sweat quite a bit and drink during the workout during the short breaks! I usually have at least 64 oz of water going into a workout and by the end of the day I’m closer to 100 oz. I teeter more on the overhydrated end (swollen tongue with teeth indentations is a big sign for that and I’ve had…

Nope, I haven’t

Yuck! (Yum when I was a kid though haha) Coffee cake

This aligns so much with me! Thank you, I appreciate it a ton! Truly!!

Thank you so much! I will definitely be referring to it more as a recovery day! And that’s very, very true! We are all so different! Thank you again!

Love this!! Thank you so much, I appreciate it!! I enjoy learning that others are still active on rest/recovery days!! I overthink it so my brain wasn’t sure what would be considered rest haha. Thank you!!

Oh my goodness!! Thank you SO much! Truly!! I’ve always been a fidgety, antsy person who loves movement. I played tennis 2hr+ 6-7 days a week for a good 10+ years and also general workouts. I definitely work at changing things up due to boredom as well as wanting to get various muscle groups and support different joints.…
