Carb Cycling Broke My Plateau; Down 3 pounds
I just completed my second cardio cycling. This time, I had 4 low carb days instead of 3 so that I could have my high carb day today, in addition to a cheat. Well, I had whole wheat bread (1 slice) with my turkey burger, and a slice of German chocolate cake with a small scoop of vanillia ice cream–it was by birthday, yesterday!. And that was it. I stayed on scheduled. It was actually hard to get my succeeding meals in b/c I was full from the bread. Now, the veins are popping and I am nice and full. I actually struggled to have a ‘cheat day’, I found myself so dialed in that I couldn’t decided how to do it! But I know how important it is to keep my metabolism going and restory glycocen stores. Now, I am of to do some cardio for 30 minutes.
This morning’s workout was back, but it was pretty week, probably because of the additional low carb day. As far as weight, I am at 141-solid now. That is 3 pounds lost in a little over a week. I see myself getting leaner, my size 4 pants are getting loose.
Posing practice is going well. I think I look better, my walking still needs work. I tape and review my sessions like I am preparing for a big game!
My family is excited. My daughter’s godmother is going to talk to a friend of her’s to do my make-up the morning of the competition. I showed her some pictures of some fitness atheletes, and she said–ooh, okay. It’s like a muscular pageant! So, we talked about hair and make-up. It was fun. I showed her the suits. She was blown away by the price, like I was. But I’ll be wearing them for the next year, so it’s worth the investment.
