Thread: Dan's Daily Rant

I've decided to cut down carbs as much as possible. I've come to realize that my body doesn't process carbs very well...in fact I think my body takes the carbs and places them directly on my body as fat!

I know I have issues with handling carbs 'cause I've been craving them ever since I stopped eating them. Well okay, I do eat some carbs but very little. I've cut out bread, pasta and pretty much any other carb made by man. I know the first few weeks will be tough but I'm stickin it out!

I had another good cardio workout this morning. I'm feeling a bit tired but I know my body will get used to the early morning workouts eventually.

I can't beleive how much my body craves carbs. Since I've reduced the amount of carbs I take in it's all I can do to keep myself from snacking on them! Oh well, I'm sure my body will get used to that too.

Had an ok weekend. Didn't get to the gym though as we were visiting my sister and her family. No big deal...I'm still recovering from working so much and going to school. Cutting down on carbs is tough! I've spoken to a few people that tried the Atkins diet and they told me that the first 2 weeks or so are really tough to handle. I'm not specifically following the Atkins diet but I am trying to cut down on carbs...hope I can make it.

Got back to hitting the gym the last few days and I'm finding it a bit easier to get up at 5:30 to workout before work. I've increased my protein intake as I felt awfully hungry last week after cutting down on my carbs. I still eat too many carbs than I probably should but not near as much as I used to. I'm trying to cut them down slowly so my body doesn't go into shock! LOL

Tomorrow is another day...

What's a guy gotta type to get some comments in his journal>

You just wait! By this time next year I'll be a hunking mass of muscle, then I'll get some respect.

Man....I've been off for a week with a bad lower back injury. Have to visit a physiotherapist soon. I've worked out a schedule that will allow me to do cardio twice a day 4 days a week and once a day 2 days a week, with one day of rest.

Main goal: lose as much excess fat as possible before building more muscle.
