Good Morning All!
Yesterday was my rest day, but today I finished my workout about 630am. Got up at 530am this morning and did Burn Circuit 2 and 10 min on treadmill. My heart rate moniter said I burned 618 calories in 54min. Woot! Woot! I also weighed in today and lost 2 more lbs this week. So far I've lost 4lbs in 2 weeks. Woohoo!
I've been doing good all week on my calorie intake and drinking my eight glasses of water and no pop. Yah!
Everyone have a good weekend and stay on track!

My week's goal was to get in a min. of 10,000 steps every day. So far, so good. I am going to have to work on today though as I slept half the day away. Must have had an allergic reaction to something last night... woke up blotchy and a bit swollen; took some Benadryl and that knocked me on my butt. didn't get up until almost 2pm. :yawn:
Now I have to get some office work done really quickly and then head out the door to a friends Birthday Party/BBQ. I need to eat something before I go and then hope she's got a veggie tray. Perhaps I'll stop by the store and pick one up as a contribution to the party. She kept insisting I not bring anything, but I'm a bit worried about Food. I don't want to blow both food and exercise for the day.0 -

Props to you! I sincerely wish I had the drive to do work out at 5:30 a.m. (or do anything besides sleep, for that matter). And congrats on the weight loss!
Here's how my day's going.
I did walk to campus and home today (it finally stopped raining, yay!) and went for a nice jog outside. I did 4.6 miles which is a new record for me (my longest jog up til then was 3.75 mi).
The past couple days I've had a big, hearty breakfast (that's still not overboard on the cals) and I've felt a lot better during the day, haven't felt the need to snack in the morning or scarf up a huge lunch, so I think I'm gonna continue doing that and hopefully it'll make it easier for me to stay under calories.
Like a good girl, I've decided to go see True Grit tonight instead of going downtown and ruining my good day by drinking. 0 -
Awake and heading to Yoga class, then teach BodyBlitz cardio. Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen gotta lift with a friend Arms/Legs. Theeeeeeeeeeeeeen gotta work my abs to absolute death. Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen get to start my carb up.
I'm slightly nervous about this carb up - it'll be my longest in about 10-12 weeks.
When I started the Anabolic Diet, I tried the 2 day carb up and basically binged like a maniac for 2 days, then had real trouble stopping the flow. After reading and researching a lot (I mean.... seriously, A LOT) I learned that I wasn't alone in learning that a 2 day bender was typical of people following the AD. Since then, I switched to only a one day carb up - in fact, less. I would start my carb up following my final workout of the week and jam tons of carbs in my mouth for only that day until bed. The following morning, back to ketosis.
This phase will be a 36 hour carb up. So here's the idea.
Friday - in general, I'll workout in the early afternoon Friday, then carb Friday night and all day Saturday. When I wake up Sunday, I'll fast all day, to spur my re-entry to Ketosis.
Pretty boring stuff, but kind of putting out there why I'm nervous about keeping this one clean. Going to class!
We're here to support you just as you are us. Clean Clean. Which might limit what you can eat, lessening your chance of a binge. Who wants to binge on healthy crap
Stay strong this weekend!0 -
Made it through my day.. Not what I would consider ideal, maybe even a cheat day. I like lived on protein powder or bars. I wouldn't count that as a good day, but it got me through.
I also have a tendency to work out in an anaerobic range, which burns muscle so I'm wondering what I need to do to deal with that. I love to push hard, but there's not a benefit to two steps forward one step back.
On a big positive, went to do training with my trainer today and we did an 50 min non stop upper body heavier weight! YAY!
Glad you all are making it!0 -
Hey all!!
I am getting ready to update my poundage loss. Down to 211.6, a whopping 3 pounds lost this week!! Woot and toot toot. Yes, I am tooting my own horn. LOL
Getting ready to fry up some hamburger and break open a jar of my home made salsa, cut up some romaine lettuce and have myself a taco salad and lemon water...........Yep, Yep.
Shame on me today. I was a slacker in the exercise department, but I am feeling a bit under the weather, so I am resting today.0 -
Hey all, I did another killer kettlebell workout today and my food was not as good as Id like. I had 2 fish sandwiches today. Its lent so no meat for me today. So I didnt have much of a choice where I was for lunch. And dinner it was either that or pizza. Just didnt want the pizza today. So my carbs are way high. Keep up the good work with the food and workouts everyone. Steve, those abs are poppin brother!

Good job today guys.
I didn't log or work out today. Finally got that much needed rest day in, not that it was restful or enjoyable. I will only get into the details that pertain to this thread though. I did my monthly weigh in, only to discover I am up 1.3. I saw that, didn't freak out a bit. Actually, I was kind of excited as I heard in my head a quote from someone that said about women working out and *gasp* seeing the scale go up as they gained muscle. So I grabbed my trusty measuring tape and was off to the bathroom to measure. Arrrrrgh. That's where it got bad. Calves and forearms stayed the same. BIceps, upper arms, thighs up 1/4", bust, hips, waist all up 1/2", and right at my belly button up 1"!!!!! What the friggity F??????? And here I am thinking to myself, well 1.3 pounds doesn't even account for that much fat so am I losing muscle too???
I am at a loss here. Do I cut cals back? Quit eating exercise calories? Is it my macros? Am I working out enough or too much? I have been working so damn hard....I am beyond frustrated. So I didn't log food and I didn't work out and I am gonna sit here and cross my arms and say hrumph!
One thing is for sure. Monthly weigh ins are out. That's too long to wait when I am apparently not on the right track.0 -
1.5 pounds is nothing!!! Honestly, don't even read into it. Any given day you could be up or down 2-3 or more pounds. That's actually why I weigh in every day - then take the average of my weekly weight on sunday. It allows for fluctuations.
Finished my carb up tonight. I won't even try to hide it - it got totally out of control. OK, no over reaction, just going back to no carb tomorrow and still Fasting Sunday. Things got me all sort of bummed out tonight and I spend the night on the couch and just kept feeding.... ok, no big deal. I do support a cheat meal once a week, and that's just a hell of a cheat meal.
Moving forward!0 -
Great day - clean eating - c25k & Turbo Fire accomplished - 112 oz water. Way to go everyone!0

I know you're going to hate me. But! This is accountability. SO. What happened to clean? Get the unclean out of your house??
And-everthing ok? You said things got you all sort of bummed

There is such a lot of people doing this, its great but hard to keep up!! I've been reading every day but not commenting so I'm going to do a little catch up with the last few before me!!
jennw10 - 50 mins upper body with heavy weights non-stop is hardcore!!
Grokette - congratulations on the whopping 3lbs!! Fantastic and hope you are feeling back on full form today!
Well done to the 'king of kettleball' aka jaybaileys!! I had a day which ended in carb carnage - onwards and upwards though!
Tatoodfreek- I would give it a few days and measure again - it could be nothing - I know my arms went up a 1/4 of an inch when I started heavy weights and then stayed the same afterwards, my bottom has also gone up an inch but that was to do with it getting higher and it looks so much better! (I can't believe what I end up divulging!!) I am not just trying to say things to make you feel better and I'm not an expert but I'm sure there is muscle distribution at work too - my arms are so defined now they look smaller and certainly don't look huge! Also, your stomach has TOTALLY inspired me to keep going with this phase of trying to get rid of some more tummy fat - seriously you look fantastic, don't lose heart!! Everytime I see your avatar it inspires me!!
Steve - yes we keep moving forward - I also have to stop looking at your avatar or I may go blind!! Great work!
K1teacher - great work from one teacher to another!
Have a great day everyone!!0 -
Forgot to post mine - had a not great food day- no excuses just full on busy and stressful and didn't eat from lunchtime til about 9pm and all that was available was buffet food, so I hit the white crusty bread and cheese - prob wasn't too over cals but trying to increase protien and not go near refined carbs, I frustrate myself with my lack of organisation!
Going to the gym soon for weights work out and some intervals!0 -

Agreed and actually this would be your second cheat day this week!!!!Get on track!0 -
Checking in!what is this day 6? Workout and kick my butt!Logged all food and have no plans of going off track!Hope everyone is doing great!0

Yeah - no doubt Jenn/Autumn... some old ghost habits crept in. Today's back to 100% clean, it's a new week. I started a new streak today on my calendar, aiming for 50 days straight this time.
As for clean carb ups... I think it's almost impossible to get 500g carbs just veggies, so that's the only time I break the Primal code, (a huge massive carb up is part of the Anabolic Diet actually - he even says, go for the ice cream, cake, w/e on your carb up - but I would love not to!)
The week in review:
Stayed below 30g carbs every weekday.
Hit every scheduled workout
24 hour fast
Really a solid week - although I had a couple beers which is crazy crazy rare for me - I'd grade it a B. Making progress, but not as quickly as I possibly could. This week will be an A.
Yesterday's workout was really solid - almost all my numbers went up and with one week left on this phase, I'm seeing some good progression. I have dumbbells every 5 lbs except 45 and it's starting to be an issue for some moves. The gap between 40 and 50 is massive. Have a good day today every one - I'll be checking in tomorrow like crazy while I ***** about my FAST all day!
Seriously, brace yourself for some epic complaining.0 -

It's alright haha. We're braced. :-p
So Today.... I definitely didn't plan on burning 1200 calories and having to eat 3000. Sooooo I'm spending my afternoon eating. It's alright though.. Tomorrow is a lower day as I'm not working out.0 -
Too late to join?
Nope 0 -
Made it through my day.. Not what I would consider ideal, maybe even a cheat day. I like lived on protein powder or bars. I wouldn't count that as a good day, but it got me through.
I also have a tendency to work out in an anaerobic range, which burns muscle so I'm wondering what I need to do to deal with that. I love to push hard, but there's not a benefit to two steps forward one step back.
On a big positive, went to do training with my trainer today and we did an 50 min non stop upper body heavier weight! YAY!
Glad you all are making it!
I missed this earlier - I would recommend to everyone - but especially those of us who are around our goal weight - stop the steady state cardio! Only do HIIT intervals. It's shown to burn primarily fat during the afterburn as opposed to the steady state crap that burns everything.
Step away from the elliptical.... step away from the elliptical.0 -
Rest day for me spent it with my kids. Food was pretty good today after the fish-o-polooza yesterday. Im missing fit club tomorrow to see my son's school play. Have fun Steve if you are heading there.

I so agree!! Even those of us that are over weight a great deal can benefit from HIIT. I have been doing some sprints with my dogs in the yard just playing around with them instead of taking them on long walks or jogging and my fat loss is going faster.
I was able to put on a denim jacket today that I haven't been able to wear in the last 2 or 3 years because the arms were so tight I was about to bust out of it. Today it is fitting very well!!! And I just tried it on, on a whim.0 -

I hear you, but I do what I find fun, which happens to be dancing I find do enjoyment in HIIT. I feel terrible saying I'm not going to stop, as I value your opinion
I'm about to move though and my cardio will be limited, so I have a feeling the problem will fix its self unfortunately.0 -
Didn't get a chance to check in yesterday. I did really well all day, and then had a break down at night. I can sit here and make excuses about stress and emotional upset all day, but the bottom line is I let it control me instead of the other way around. I did not choose progress yesterday. Ahhh I am so weak and so human. Dammit
But, back on track today. Though unfortunately I woke up that carb monster inside that just wants to shovel food into my face. Last night I took the kids on a bike ride and then we all jumped on the trampoline together until it got dark out. It was fun, but at some point I pulled a back muscle and today I am feeling it. To anybody who saw my calorie burn and commented on it, something registered twice and I deleted it, but it still showed me at 900+ calories burned on my feed, which was wrong! Though I wish it was right then I wouldn't have been over. I finished up the ugly day with two big bowls of honey nut cheerios that I didn't bother to log. Stupid stupid stupid. Not just because it was a bad day, but because of that darned carb monster. Fresh day, etc.
I'm going to have to let my back dictate my workout later today. I am supposed to help my friend in her back yard, so that may be enough for me for the day.0 -
So I pretty much messed up my whole week last night. Went downtown and drank, then got a Pickleman's sandwich at 2 when the bars closed. I logged it all this morning and ended up being over by 1365 calories yesterday. Pretty ridiculous. Today's a new day. I'll do my best.0

Happy Sunday everyone!!!Doing really great had a three pound loss this week!Up bright and early with some yoga...Workout finished and logged food...Should be a clean day!This weeks goals are to hit it hard and match my three with another three.:)No looking back! I love u guys!!!!!!0

9 more weeks til June! I've been super busy this week and haven't checked the forum since I last posted several days ago. Not sure I'll really have time to interact much, which sucks because I really would like to get to know y'all (i'm southern) better. Hopefully things will settle down a bit after next weekend.
But just checking in to report that I mostly met my weekly goals last week! Yay. The only thing I fell short on was doing at least one yoga or core class. Yesterday I did two full-body circuits of strength training - felt so much better than the first time earlier this week! But I am sore today, mostly in my chest and shoulders. Did an ok 4-mile run this morning with some good hills, felt great to be out in the sunshine and see all the baby leaves and buds sprouting. Working on picking out two fall half-marathon races because I'm starting to miss having something to run for.
Goals for this week:
1. log calories every day
2. strength train at least 2x, 3 full-body circuits
3. 2 shorter runs, 1 longer run (or bike ride)
4. Yoga or core class at least once this week0 -

3 Pounds in a week is SICK!!!! Way to go!! (not to mention you're freaking tiny already - so even more impressive!)
I hear you about the carb monster (I think of it as the sugar monster - same dude though) once it gets control, it's a B*TCH to beat him back. I know exactly what you mean about the excuses. I mean it, I won't make them - that doesn't mean I won't look for reasons though!
I'm pretty much committed to a lifetime of this CKD type lifestyle. It's been years, and still, when the sugar touches my lips, it's crazy hard to break it.
I'm sitting here 14 hours into my fast (it'll probably be close to 36 hours, from 11pm Saturday to 9-10am Monday) and still not hungry really. I wonder if that's the hangover from my binge Friday night? Last week's fast almost destroyed me around 10 hours in. Weird.
I'm trying to take time to blog about this whole thing and keep detailed notes about what's working and not, kind of using myself as a test dummy for future clients doing this. My weight has gone like this
Tue: 175.2
Wed: 174.6
Thu: 174.6
Fri: 174.2
Sat: 180.6
Sun: 178.6
crazy right? That's what a major bender Friday night can do. Granted most of this will come off quickly, still, the bloat is not so fun right now.
OK, back to cleaning my house. Anyone want about 40 pounds of dog hair? I should have plenty of sweeper bags full.
ps.
Oh - right - exercise, we did Chalean Extreme Burn It Off today - nice short 26 minute workout. All cardio stuff.0 -
Well done everyone!
Ive had a great day - trying to follow 'The new rules of lifting for women' Particularly the food part! (Ive been doing weights for almost a year now in a very similar programme with a pt.) I really really recommend this book - its great!
If anyone is interested in the food please feel free to look at my diary but I prob won't be posting the updates on it! You have to start off on maintenance cals - so thats about 1500 for days with no exercise, and about 1800 for active days! Then the exercise you do is the defecit if that makes sense, so basically I'll always look under goal on exercise days but it should balance out on the non exercise days when I'm eating at maintenace level!
I have not felt hungry once so thats great! I have cheese back in my life and actually liked the protien shake!
My work out was fantastic and was a great mixture of cardio intervals and weights! Doing long run tomorrow night along sea front so hoping the weather is lovely!0
