Hi balin Welcome back....

Can I ask why only 1 day/week on cardio?

Thanks for the welcome back

I only want to do 1 hour of cardio per week to start until I get my meal plans all worked out. I have been doing two half hour sessions with some ab work on my off days.

My schedule is pretty chaotic so I want to ease into it

Good to see you back again.

Are you low carbing every day?



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Thanks man . I am feeling pretty good so far with these lower carbs. I was planning on doing this for another week or so and see how quickly I am dropping weight. When I did this 3 years ago I was dropping 2lbs per week.

I have a feeling though 2100 cals may be too low.

I am waiting to weigh myself Thursday and will probably start adding in some Oats and Brown Rice next. I am not starving between meals though.

I haven't fallen off the face of the planet again. Between work and hockey tryouts I have not had much online time. I have still been following the meal plan and have dropped 2lbs this week.

Next week I am off on vacation to the sunny Caribbean so I don't think I will be following the meal plan then
