Morning all! well almost afternoon now :huh: busy morning at work

Goals:
-- log in everyday and log everything I eat........ DONE!!
--Steadily work on the p90x routines........ DONE!!
--Clean the menu up a lot...... CURRENTLY RESEARCHING
-- Be in bed by 11 pm........ Not even close- got home from Girl Scouts around 9ish, got kids ready for bed, worked out, took a shower, decided to read a chapter or two from the book I was reading... I laid down 8 chapters later when the book ended right around 130am

Tuesdays totals
Calories 1445 out of 1715
Carbs 105g down from 194
Fat 78g up from 63g :ohwell:
Protein 90 up from 41g

BTW - I do read all the posts also looks like everyone is off to a good start!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great day - clean eating - c25k & Turbo Fire accomplished - 112 oz water. Way to go everyone!

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!!

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!

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

Agreed and actually this would be your second cheat day this week!!!!Get on track!
