Guys. I chose the wrong week to start back up in the gym. My lady parts are raging, about to do their monthly thing. I always knew that it affected my cravings, water retention yada yada yada.
I've been hitting a serious depressive episode. It's difficult to get up in the morning, most evenings I pass out on my couch after binge eating/drinking.
Had a fight with my boyfriend that made me realize how much of a trigger our relationship is for said binge eating/drinking. I couldn't put off my mental health anymore...
So I went back to the gym. This time, I really tried to set myself up for success. I picked the gym right by my house, I pass by there EVERY morning. It's convenient and not a detour. I got a gym buddy. We text each other every day, make sure that we both show up even if it's just for 20 minutes of cardio and some stretching.
I'm getting my butt there, 5 days a week. But holy crap.. I've gained 3 pounds this week alone from water retention. I feel WORSE, not better, despite moving every day and focusing on getting better sleep.
Any ladies that train out there with similar issues? Is this just timing? Am I doing something fundamentally wrong starting off with more frequent workouts that's kicking my body into retaining this much water?
Desperately trying not to lose motivation!!
