Tired and Grouchy
I have been trying to eat low carb for the past few weeks but lately I am feeling tired, grouchy and sick to my stomach. I have to figure out an alternative to protein shakes and bars because I think it my be the sweetners that are making my stomach upset. I don’t normally eat anything "diet" because I want to avoid sweetners. Of course being a vegetarian there are only so many quick proteins that I can eat, I do eat eggs and dairy so I might have to switch from shakes back to egg whites and cottage cheese (that I am really sick of eating). Salad dressing was such a treat today, I have been eating so bland that it tasted like a flavour (yes I am Canadian, hence the U) explosion in my mouth!!
As far as my workouts are going I am starting to have complete strangers that I have never noticed before commenting on how often I am going to the gym!! LOL Things like "Do you ever take a day off?" or "Wow you’re pretty serious now aren’t you?" Good thing I have my choice of 6 gyms within a 15 minute drive from work/home……might have to mix it up so people don’t think I am weird…
My legs have been really sore since my leg workout on Sunday (this is Thursday) and so I did do mostly light weights for my legs this morning. I will have to take it easy on my lower body next week. It is funny how some parts of my body are doing exactly what I want while my legs and stomach are not looking at all like I thought they would for all of the hard work and clean eating that I have been doing. There have been a couple of BBQs on some weekends, but I don’t think that is enough to hinder my results. I will have to clean it up a bit more on my cheat day I guess.
I took some progress pictures tonight to make sure that I am on track and I will post them this weekend if there is time.
