Hey Kim! :wave:

Goals for this week include.. a LOT less red meat, more fish! NO eating when i'm not hungry.. being smarter about my choices.. and don't be disappointed next week!

I think this sounds good... Remember that atkins/keto is not an excuse to be unhealthy. you still need to think about saturated fat intake and vitamins/minerals and all those things...

Fats should be things like olive oil, avocado, nuts/seeds while meats/protein should be low in sat. fats.

:thumb: I think these are good goals for the week.

so now i'm REALLY dumbfounded.. because..i'm up for the promotion at work... i have the other job that pays more, but if i get the promotion at work, it wont be that much more... and then..i have to move to a place i still don't know about... or i can go take the exam for the state job in TN..where I want to live... and see what happens... :bulb:

:spaz: Arggg... What do you think you are going to do? What do you want MORE? Which one seems more interesting to you?


and i've had some weird side effects from this diet... the last few days i've woke up with my heart rate blarring... i mean.. it's waking me up... is that normal for atkins?

Hmmm... :hmmm: Not that I have heard off... It could be your arteries having a spaz attack at all the cholesterol and saturated fats! :lol:

and also.. bathroom wise.. i'm having the opposite of what you would expect from what would happen with no fiber....:confused: could it be because i'm not used to eating that much fat???
Click to expand...
Sometimes that can happen... yes... but it is usually with LOTS of fat... and often there has to be something wrong with your intestines too...(eg: amage from long term laxitive abuse can do it)... either that or you are taking something that is stopping the fat from being absorbed??

time to wake the hubs up and try to convince him we should go the the beach to walk the dogs.. (there's a little secluded spot on the beach where you have to kinda walk through a wooded area to get too, but it's so nice!! we take the dogs there a lot.. not many people go, because there are alot of rumors about the spot..but so far, me and jason have been fine and we only go in the morning!)

Have fun Kim and give your puppies a big hug for me! :D

Thanks :) Yeah.. i get pretty grossed out when i go to do the dishes... Yuck!:eek:

Arggg... What do you think you are going to do? What do you want MORE? Which one seems more interesting to you?


i don't know! i don't know! I love my job now.. but i don't make that much...(will be about 7,000 more if i get the promotion) BUT i don't want to live here too much longer.. i mean, i've made great friends and i love my job, but i just don't want to settle down here..ya know? BUT the other job seems like i would make a bunch of money, but never get to enjoy it! and my ultimate goal is becoming a personal trainer.. so i could work my job now and pursue that on the side..(once i lose weight..i feel stupid saying i want to be a personal trainer the way i look now!) but i think me and jason would LOVE TN.. we want to have land..and all that stuff.. and TN is where we've talked about for a while..and now i have a chance! so i'm thinking... NO to the job my friends quitting.. stay here and work and hopefully go to TN.. ?? oh my oh my... :spaz:

Hmmm... Not that I have heard off... It could be your arteries having a spaz attack at all the cholesterol and saturated fats!

Remember before when i didn't eat hardly ANY fat.. good or bad.. yikes.. my body's probably in shock.. :laugh:

Sometimes that can happen... yes... but it is usually with LOTS of fat... and often there has to be something wrong with your intestines too...(eg: amage from long term laxitive abuse can do it)... either that or you are taking something that is stopping the fat from being absorbed??

well i go back to the Dr. on the 17th to find out about my liver.. never used laxitives unless it was ABSOLUTELY necessary.. so that's been like 3 times in the last 23 years! lol.. not taking anything.. just a multivitamin.. and again.. it could just be my body not used to it..? :confused:

Have fun Kim and give your puppies a big hug for me!

we had fun! i'll have to post a pic later! they are getting big! cardio consisted of jogging..walking...jogging.. being dragged away by the dogs.. and more walking ;)
abs included crunches 4 sets of 30 superset with 4 sets of 15 reverse crunches..
diet today was better.. but still could be improved.. i had an egg/cheese omlete for breakfast...lobster with a little butter and shrimp for lunch... then a few chicken wings and a slice of swiss cheese for a snack..(ok.. yeah..that was the worst part of the day meal wise) and then lunch.. turkey italian sausage and i had to try my turkey meatloaf.. which was sooooo good!
here's the recipe!
2 packs lean turkey (about 2lbs)
2 whole eggs
salt/pepper/basil/oregano as much as you like..
combine.. cook until juice is clear at 350 degrees...
THEN.. here's the kicker.. cut a slice and top with about 1 oz. feta cheese... :nanner:

Oh yeah.. no superbowl parties.. just going to relax.. been cleaning all day too! :yawn:
 
Argg.. I forgot about your liver issues... Diarrhoea/problems with fat absorption can be caused by liver disease (and pancreas problems too) :( I hope it is not anything serious.

Arggg... Better?! :p Geez.... You really need some help on the 'not-saturated fat thing'!!

What about an egg and avocado omlete for breakfast...?? And lobster, shrimp and olive oil for lunch...?? Then some salmon and walnuts for afternoon tea?? And instead of 2 whole eggs - put in 1 and add some olive oil!!!


Hope you had a great day Kim! :)

(i'm not supposed to have nuts yet, and limited to up to 4 oz of cheese a day, and only 3 cups loose lettuce and 1 cup of another veggie like brocolli MAX) So i'm kinda border line in the food.. i'll give you an example.. and you'll see.. it's not THAT bad.. but it's not that great either.. .. i'm working on it ;) i just know when i go back to the old eating habits there will be none of this rich luxious cheese :nanner:and chicken wings :finger:

Ok... so here's the deal (and i pretty much fall in the "better" category)

So hey.. i KNOW what i should do.. and i'm working on it.. only 1 week left though, and then it's back to white lean meat and veggies galore!! :rocker: and oatmeal... how i've missed my oats!

:clap: Woo hoo!! Congrates! :D

How long to go for induction now?
 
Hey Emma :D Well..i started last monday.. so this begining the second week... I'll probably end it next week.. but i'm not completely sure. A lot depends on where I am by then :thumb: I might go slightly longer, for some reason I think i might have knocked myself out of ketosis about 5 days in..around the time the weird bathroom stuff started happening.. i think it might have been some of the pork rinds i ate :hog:..not sure.. but i'm not having those problems anymore, and the weight is dropping.. around that time, my weight went up a few lbs, and then slowly dropped.. so i might go an extra week, to make up for that. Jason's doing really well on the diet too.. he's lost 12 lbs and is working out along with me. :love: I can't wait for tomorrow to be over! We are leaving for TN then and are going to make it a little Valentine's getaway as well :heartpump
 
Ok..today's workout
WG Pulldowns 3x8
One Arm DB Rows 3x12 (gotta buy heavier DB's :D
Reverse Grip Pulldowns 8/10/10
Shrugs 3x12
SLDL 3x6
Leg Curls 12/10/12
Seated Calves 3x30

I think i either used my biceps too much, OR they were just still blasted from yesterdays workout..probably a combo of both.. i'll know tomorrow if i should decrease the weight to make sure i'm using my back and not biceps.. ok.. gotta work!
 
Thanks! If i end up moving around that area we'll definately workout sometime :D
i'm not going to get my hopes up though..i have a feeling there are going to be a lot of people taking the exam! Oh well.. just going to have to kick some serious ass :whip:

Now..i'm just trying to decide if we are going to leave today or tomorrow.. if we leave today... it will be like an extra 25 bucks to board the dogs, and plus another night fee in hotel cost...(i decided to board the dogs instead of dropping them off at the in-laws because it's going to be so cold outside)..but if we leave first thing tomorrow morning.. we save that money..but then we drive half of the day tomorrow... damn i'm no good at decisions..i'll wait until jason gets in and i'll ask him what he thinks :laugh:
 
Emma, I added a pic of the pups in my gallery just for you :D
 
hey, well, we are in TN, we got here at like 4 am. jason's taking a shower...i'm kinda tired, but want to do something! my freaking pants are tight today :mad: Damn it! kinda having a fat day and needed to vent! i don't think i'm losing anymore! could i be gaining weight, but it just be some muscle? i'm just getting ticked...i'm ready for lots of veggies! i've had a bad snacking habit lately...and now i'm snacking on higher calorie foods than i would normally snack on. Next Monday or Tuesday, most likely i'll go back to my old healthier eating habits...i lost just as much weight back then..and i didn't feel like I was consuming a whole cow in the process... wow..lack of sleep makes me pretty negative..:finger: Better get to bed early tonight! ;) Test tomorrow at 8:30! (and i'm definately a stress eater...times like this i just want to munch and munch...must control this!)
 
Calories in v's calories out Kim... That is what counts... ;) There is nothing magical about keto - it is just another way to cut calories.

I hope you feel better tomorrow. :( And good luck for the test! :D
 
Well it's been snowing like crazy and i'm not sure if the test will still happen or not..they cancelled a lot of things like the ACT and other events all around memphis..so now i'm really stressed... argggg.. anyway.. i spent a lot of time tonight talking with my husband and my friend about this whole atkins thing.. (we stuck to in all day again today) but my thing is, i am a big time snacker..and i love big salads with tons of veggies... and i feel like i'm just getting bigger on atkins..don't have a scale, but last time i weighed..on Thursday morning i was at 145. So i'm going to end Atkins tomorrow. I'll assume that I am starting at that weight..but i'm not sure...i've eaten lots of bad things..but all atkins these last few days. I'm just not happy eating all this meat and cheese..and also, i'm kinda concerned about working my liver that much with all the protein. So..most likely, i'll be on my own low carb diet from now on. I know how to do it..i've done it before..and i know a good healthy works! Lean Protein, Good Greens, Whole Grains, just kind of limited... oh yes! ok..now time for bed :yawn:
 
Thanks! the website says the university will be OPEN today! :clapping: so we will be leaving in just a few minutes...just hope we don't get lost! i have yahoo directions and maps so we should be good. Just gotta drive careful! and this morning..i'm still trying to decide if it's atkins or no atkins...apart of me wants to give it the full 14 days... just so i can say on Tuesday morning..what the 14 days did... weight gain or loss..then i would know for sure... but damn it..as soon at those 14 days are up.. veggies..yummy veggies... but then again... i have no groceries at home...and a freezer full of meat! i would lose i'm sure...if i just kept my big mouth shut more! :spaz:

REALLY bad.. don't ask.. .i don't know what happened... and i know i have got to regain control... i'm just at a major turning point in my life and now i'm freaking out.. but that's still no excuse.. there are no excuses in this game..

Wow!! Big stuff happening Kim! :eek:

Congratulations on the job - that is fantastic that you will be earning more money! I hope you are happy? (you don't sound happy :( You sound utterly confused!!)



And you get back on that diet miss!! :finger: You made yourself a 'goal' and you are going to stick to it!! :whip:


:p


Hope you have a better 'rest of the week'... :)
 
Kim, you did the right thing. :clapping:
 
Thanks guys! I'm feeling better..and yeah, they told me that I have done a great job and that if it doesn't work out and there is an opening, i can come back. They want to take me out next Friday for my going away. I love those guys! I think i'm finally catching up on sleep, (took nap for 1 1/2 hours after work yesterday) diet was great yesterday..(thank god.. it was a hard time..but I didn't give in..i had to break the cycle) ok..now when it comes to this job... they said the first 1 1/2 - 2 years you HATE it.. you wonder WHY you took it..and you want to pull all your hair out.. BUT after that..something just clicks... and you get it... and it's the best job in the world.... SO... when i get on here in the future..and I bitch and moan... tell me to suck it up..and stop moaning ... I can do it.. I CAN.. I can lose this freaking weight again..and I can do this job... gotta be positive..ok... now time to go to work.
oh yeah.. i start FEB. 27th... not Jan.. :spaz:
 
Well sorry i haven't posted in a while.. i got knocked off track..again.. but i've gained control again. Sunday I sat down and came up with a budget with my new income from the new job... so things are looking good...i cut up a credit card and decided i want to change a lot of things. I've started the body for life exercise routines and am kinda doing his diet..but kinda doing my own thing as well. My diet is slightly lower carb than his, and i'm still trying to decide if i'll do a free day or not. I might just do a free meal, if that until i get to my goal. My mini goal is 135. So far things are going good. I did my first workout routine, upper body. Wednesday will be lower body, and friday upper again. tue, thur, and sat will be 20 minutes interval cardio on the elliptical. i really think this will do great for me this time. i like the short workouts and i got a really really good pump this time. never tried this method before but i like it so far.

This was the workout
DB Bench (increased weight each set until the last 12)
12,10,8,6,12, then superset 12 DB Flyes
Wide Grip Pulldowns 12,10,8,6,12 ss with one arm db rows for 12
Seated DB Press 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 lateral raises
Alternate DB Curls 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 hammer curls
Triceps pushdowns 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 ss with 12 Triceps kickbacks
(pulled something on the pushdowns so the weight did not increase on the 8 and 6 reps)
only took 45 minutes - still feeling it :)
I'm ready for that bikini body again!
and i went to the dr. but they performed the wrong blood test, so i have to wait about another month to find out what's going on! argggg...
last week of work... :( i'm going to miss my friends soooo much! i do some shadowing for a week and then i'm at for 3 weeks in March for Training...i can't wait for this..it's going to be a great mental challenge...and i plan on making it a physical challenge as well..i plan on working out hard and eating very very clean while i'm there..I can't wait!
 
Wow..crazy day at work.. this morning was cardio- 21 minutes 2 minutes at level 4, then 1 minute at 5,6,7,8,9, then back to 5,6,7,8,9 and so on... Kicked my ass! :) Diet..all healthy! Lots of cottage cheese... Yummy!
 
today was even crazier at work... geeze...they are trying to kill me this last week! :eek:
Lower body today..
Squats with the stability ball on my back against a wall 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 leg extenstions
SLDL 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 walking lunges
standing calves 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 seated calves
weighted crunches 12,10,8,6,12 ss with 12 reverse crunches..
quick workout.. about 30 minutes, didn't rest as much as i should have, but i'm still learning what weight to start with in these routines, started way to light on some of them, so i had to keep trying to adjust!
diet all good still.. lots of cottage cheese though..damn those delicious curds :p today i started taking Universal Animal Cuts. I took it this morning and i was really hyped up within about 30 minutes... but then i took it this afternoon and i didn't really feel much from it. But i could definately feel it this morning... we'll see how this goes ;)
 
diet great, cardio kick butt :) 20 minutes HIIT...whew... after my cool down, hr was 171.
