The Countdown BEGINS!

Today was better and I didn’t seem as tired, but I also didn’t workout today. Maybe its the stacker thats helping with the energy, maybe its just my body adjusting. Either way, I feel good! My arms seem to have slimmed down..not muscle wise, but fat wise..Yahoo!

I was tempted today, but kept to the diet! Yea me! Just had a spoonful of PB and felt much better. I think its the dark chocolate I am missing. I used to have 2 pieces a day..

Ok..I do normally sweat quite a bit, but this week, its not so much the sweat as how much I stink! Seriously! I can put deodorant on couple times a day and still stink! I sure hope thats the diet too! LOL!

I might just do my own version of this diet..just to make sure I can get through another week, but was thinking of allowing more carbs tomorrow. Not a lot and not bad carbs, but just more. I guess I will see how I feel tomorrow.

I struggled today…wanted something BAD!!But I didnt! I had two tsp of peanut butter instead! LOL. I was doing so good..but today..just got to craving stuff I havent had in while. I was also so tired…but I guess thats part of it. I can definitely feel and see some changes, but not sure I can hang on for another week. Dealing with children all day and being irritable and tired…not a good mix!

Well, this week hasn’t been as hard as I thought it was going to be.I am not having any cravings either ( but I didnt eat that much along the lines of carbs before anyways.) I got my supplements yesterday, so took my Stacker yesterday and again this morning. Think I will slowly add those. Sure hope they help with energy, because if anything, thats what I been lacking in lately. Especially late mornings, Im draggin and my eyes are so heavy!

So far no cheats on the Keto diet and have been planning daily. Think I might add some more fibrous vegetables, just because I am feeling hungry with only eating what I have planned. I dont think adding those will affect anythingl OH..I forgot to say..my BF dropped .3%! Yipee!! I haven’t dropped below 19% in like 3 months! So today I measured at 18.7% and like I said before, I can really tell the difference in my arms, and abs…sure hope the legs are soon!

Yesterday did upper body workout. Felt good. Tomorrow is leg day again. If anyone has a chance, you can check out my workouts and let me know what you think? I just changed them this past weekend and hope they are good.

This morning I trained a client and I was so very tired! It lasted most of the morning also. Thank goodness for naptime! When kids slept, I slept..but only for about 20 minutes. Not sure if its this lack of carbs thing or just a Monday morning.

The diet part went pretty well though. I was hungry though at times..need to plan bigger meals I think. Have to work on that tonight. May sound weird, but I can already tell a difference in my body just in 2 days. I sure hope I can hang on for the full 2 weeks!

Ok..so today was my first day of Keto. (probably not totally keto, cuz I didnt really eat what I had planned, but dont think I went over in carbs. Feel pretty good, just tired, but I my day was all out of whack..so that could be why too.  Here is tomorrows meal plans:

Hit pretty close to my goals and only went over carbs because of the spinach, broccoli and lettuce. I feel I need to have a little or might have problems being "regular".

So to further aid in my keto diet, I ordered some supplements today and hope they are here by Monday. I am planning some more meals so that I can go shopping tomorrow to get ready.

These are the supplements I ordered:

Universal Herbal Thermo Stack E/C/A, 90 Capsules
Optimum Opti-Women, 120 Capsules
Higher Power L-Glutamine, 1000 Grams
Higher Power Micronized Creatine, 500 Grams

Here is one days meal plans, with suggestions form the forum:

Meal 1) Post Workout - .75 serving Whey,  Flax .5TBSP
Meal 2) 4 whole eggs, 1 oz cheddar, 1 tbsp cream, .33 cup spinach
Meal 3) 5 oz ground turkey, 1 cup broccoli, nat PB 2TBSP
Meal 4) .5 serving pepperoni, string cheese
Meal 5) 3 oz chicken, 1 oz cheddar, 1 c broccoli, .25 c mushrooms
Meal 6) pecans .25 cup (they said to take these out, but I need the fats!) maybe Ill try changing to couple HB eggs..hmmm

Gonna be weird eating all the stuff I have banned from my diet for way over a year! Might be fun though!

So I have been reading up on and planning to start the keto diet this weekend. At first I thought it would be very difficult, but after doing more research and planning some days worth of meals, I actually think It wont be too bad. Im not sure how long I am going to to it, hopefully at least try for the 2 weeks and see what changes happen. Really hope it helps me to drop some of my fat from my lower body!
