end of 2nd week
Okay, so at the end of my 2nd week on I decided to stick to a low carb diet rather than a low calorie diet. I have much more success managing my carbs rather than managing calories. Which I saw fast results in 2 days on the Atkins diet. I lost 2lbs and got down to 173.
Im still only taking 1/2 the pill (37.5mg) also. I stopped the Prozac I dont think that I need that since Im doing 1/2 the pill.
Going into my 3rd week starting yesterday I took a full pill. I think it helped.
My doctor also suggested that I do more weight training rather than cardio. So I had my body builder son design me a work out for all of my muscle groups. Im working on that. But I do disagree with the doctor. I want to continue doing my cardio with the weight training for now. At least until I can get the bulk of my weight down. Then I can do a more weight training schedule and less cardio. I did scale my cardio down from 60minutes to 30 min workout. And increased my weight training from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Its tough!
On Cheating!!! Well I did do some of that this weekend. I ate rice on Friday and again on Saturday nite. I had some tortilla chips and that of course added to my carb intake. Oh and I had an icecream that had sugar and about 100 calories....dont remember the carb count. Sunday we went to eat at Chilis and I had some fries and half of a burger. I think overall I cheated 3 days in a row with carbs and gained 1 lbs from the cheating and 1 lb from PMS'in. Im started to bloat now for my cycle coming here at the end of the week.
Time to get refocused this week!
