Day 17
I’m on day 17 of Body For Life and my diet and training are going better than expected. I’ve been training hard and lifting heavier every week for 5-6 days/week. At least 4-5 days doing 45 min. cardio. I seriously feel like I’ve been hit by a Mac truck but I’m recovering more quickly everyday.
My diet is around 1100-1200 calories/day. My original goal was 1500 but after the 1st week it just went down on it’s own as I didn’t feel I needed to eat that much food once I started eating healthy whole foods. The average ratio is around 45/35/20 (P/C/F) and my original goal was 30/50/20. I found that my carbs went down drastically because I don’t eat any bread and most of my carbs come from vegis and beans, once in a while a whole wheat low carb tortilla. I’m eating every 2 1/2 - 3 hrs and the only thing I have after 6:00 is my protein banana shake after my workout.
I have been losing steadily at 2 lbs per week and I expect that I’ll only lose another 2 lbs in another week and then only 1 lb/week after that. My body seems to be responding extremely well to this diet. So far I’ve lost 6 lbs in less than 3 weeks. I’ve never done this well on a diet before and I think it’s because I cut carbs…they just make you more hungry.
Yeah so I took some shots of my ass today to see if there’s been any progress since I took pictures 16 days ago and I seriously can’t believe it! It looks like I had a partial ass lift! I didn’t think it was possible. So I must be doing something right.
