My boyfriend and I are making a bet to beat the holidays. Whoever doesn't reach their goal in 8 weeks time has to pay for 2 tickets to Disneyland.

Will be starting Chris Powell's Turbo Carb Cyling plan with 4-5 days Low carb, 1-2 days High Carb, and 1 cheat day <2400 calories. I am about 130 pounds at 5'4 and hope to lose 5 lbs and 5% body fat.

My weaknesses are noodles and ice cream.
My exercises of choice are: Crossfit, Rock Climbing, Boxing, cycling, and yoga
Least favorite exercises: Running, Wall balls, and sand bag runs

Follow me to keep me on track! Thanks!
Any tips from those who have done this plan or have done low

    I'm currently on an exercise/nutrition plan that has a carb-cycling phase . The 2 days with carbs (one serving) align with the strength days. The treat meal is a meal, not a day. The days I can have carbs are harder for me because I can't have fats on those days. One of my saving graces has been cauliflower fried rice. Filling, satisfying and only 50 calories in a cup! My other saving grace is that treat meal :) Just knowing it's around the corner keeps me straight during the week.

    Good luck!
