I haven’t updated in a few weeks but I am still here. I got over the cold, made it into the gym in week 5 (where I last left off) and did pretty good considering how shitty I was feeling. Stuck to the plan, ended up having a good carb-up, and may I note that these carb-ups are getting easier & better.

Week 6 was flawless, and this week was even better. I’ve been dead on with everything, workouts, intensity & diet. I’m feeling fantastic and I can see the fat just melting away! I love it! This may be the most strict diet I’ve ever put myself on but holy smokes does it deliver if you stick to/with it. I even had one of my pole dancing instructors approach me yesterday and ask me what the hell I was doing cause I’ve toned up so much over the past 2 months. I’m not doing this for anyone but myself but I’d be lying if I told you that it doesn’t feel good when other people notice.

I actually haven’t weighed myself in a few weeks, no real reason, I just haven’t. But to be honest, at this point weight is almost irrelevant. I kind of don’t care if I lose the 10 pounds I’ve set out to lose in the beginning, as long as I look lean and toned who cares what the scale says? I will weigh myself next week tho because I’m also gonna post some new progress pics. I like taking progress pics every 4 weeks or so, I don’t like to do it daily or even weekly because realistically, how much different can I possibly look from day to day? At least over 4 weeks you can see some changes. Anyway, I think that will be all for now, it’s late and I don’t know what I am still doing up.

It’s all day carb-up day tomorrow! Yummmm, fresh bread!!!

So I’m in week 5. Last weekends carb up was the best I’ve had so far. I managed to keep my fat intake pretty low so I really got the most out of it. I never realized how much I love bread tho! Holy smokes I inhaled that shit! It’s kind of weird. When I started this diet I thought that I would crave more junk food and sweets in general when it came time to carb up but I don’t even wanna look at that stuff. After last Friday’s depletion workout I went to a bakery and got a fresh loaf of cranberry & pumpkin whole grain bread and just polished it off over the course of the 30 hour carb up! I didn’t want anything else, probably gonna do the same thing this week, although it’s Thanksgiving weekend so I might have to push my carb up day to Sunday because I have to attend a family dinner, and I don’t feel like explaining to everyone why I’m only stuffing my face with turkey and passing on the other stuff that usually accompany such a meal, plus, it just makes sense.

With that said tho, Sunday evening I started feeling a bit sick and unfortunately Monday morning I woke up feeling like complete shit! I actually have NO appetite, I just eat at intervals of 3 hours cause I know I have to, but I can’t even taste any flavour, which kind of makes meals even easier to prepare because I just eat according to the food labels, but that’s the only positive. I haven’t gone to the gym the past 2 days, which sucks because I was really sticking to a pretty strict workout schedule. Diet wise I’m right on, just the training is really suffering. I hope this doesn’t screw me up too much, considering the "progress high" I was on last week. I think I’m gonna hit the gym tomorrow regardless and just do what I can, I am feeling a tad better today so hopefully I will be even better tomorrow. This sucks, I’m really pissed.

It’s Friday! Yey! Carb-up day! Man oh man, will I ever recommend the CKD to anyone wanting to melt away body fat. I’ve been on this diet for 4 weeks, well it’s carb-up day of Week 4, so I’ve got my depletion workout left to do in about an hour and then kick back and relax for the weekend.

I have noticed a MAJOR difference already. Not only did I notice it, but people around me noticed as well. I have been approached at my gym by several people asking if I’ve been doing anything different because I’ve really toned up. When I see results like this after only 4 weeks it really motivates me to keep going. I’m not really sure how much I still want to lose, I’ve lost about 4 pounds so far. Originally I said I wanted to drop 10, but at this point I don’t even want to throw a number out there because I am strictly going by how I look. I am not entering any fitness competitions so I’m not even aiming for a particular body fat %, I’m just doing this because I want to, because I know I can. Knowing my past weight issues, and seeing how far along I have come, I am pretty friggin’ proud of myself.

The biggest compliment I get is when people at my gym ask me how I got into weight training and when I tell them I used to weigh over 200 pounds, more then half of them don’t believe me. The fact that I have transformed my body soooo much that there’s barely any evidence of my past weight issues is pretty amazing. Sure, I have stretch marks in some places and that will never go away, but overall I have done what people often think is impossible, and I’ve done it by educating myself about the importance of nutrition and training and then worked my ass off to implement what I’ve learned. Can you tell I’m on a bit of a high! Hahaha, but I guarantee you it’s not a sugar high since I’m not allowed sugar for a few more hours!

Anyway, I’m out! I took some progress pictures this morning, so see for yourself where I’m at.
