Day 54

Legs and running today. Climbing this afternoon with Chris. With the amount of water I am drinking, I don't have a spare ounce left in my belly to even get hungry. The crystal light single packs help with any sweet/sugary cravings. Looking good so far.....

56 Days

Today was the first day of the 8 week diet plan. It's gone well today, although I don't know that I won't become tired of it eventually. Oatmeal for breakfast, string cheese for a snack, homemade turkey meatballs and broccolli and a salad with pork. I have limited my carbs to less than 50 grams a week. My oatmeal alone has 30 grams in it! No milk and no sugar, but plenty of water. 2 liters today, which is somewhat of a record for me. I felt full all day long and went to the bathroom approximately every 30 minutes. Gym tonight was back, biceps, shoulders, abs and cardio. I'm working out each muscle twice a week and one of those two times I work the muscle to fatigue. I am doing one hour of cardio 6 days a week. I will keep ya'll posted!

9.5 Weeks!

Alright, this is it! 9 1/2 weeks until my 30th! I've been working pretty hard, having Chris workout has helped. On Thursday, February 17th, I will have exactly 8 weeks left and I will be supercharging my diet. For the most part, at that point, no more carbs! :-( It'll basically be lean protein and veggies. No cheats for 8 weeks! Remembering this, last night was my cheat night and I had sweet potato fries at The Bayou. They were OH so yummy, but I feel sick this morning! I have spent so much time teaching me body to eat healthy, it's like it's rejecting them. Also, I don't eat any peanut butter unless it's Marathona or Adam's. The other day I made Chris a mocha protein shake with left-over JIF PB. I licked the spoon and began to gag. It tasted like a spoonful of peanuts covered in sugar!! I find it interesting how my tastebuds are now picking up on things like that. I also found an alternative for Nutella on my cheat days!!! It is Marathona Dark Chocolate Almond Butter and it is amazing. Same amount of calories, but the first 5 ingredients aren't sugar. I put it on whole wheat bread with sugar free jam. It is a healthier alternative, but I can't have it anymore for cheats in a week and a half. Alright kids, gotta go to gym. Today is Chest and Triceps.
