Day two, Tuesday
Posted 02-05-2008 at 04:41 PM by Norene
Today (Feb. 5, 2008) was a more challenging day to push myself to get the exercise in... but I prevailed 
Just felt blah.... and achy from yesterday's exercise.
Exercise:
bike workout--20 min.
stretching--10 min
rebound--10 min
lower body workout... 2 1/2 lb dumb.
deep breathing exercises to relax
Menu:
B... low carb shake
L... lc chicken nuggets from recipe room
dipped in Blue Cheese dressing
snack... d.coffee/cream/splenda and 1/2 a lc food bar
D... salmon and lc coleslaw and a few black olives
I was happy to see the scale had gone down a pound. So far since starting low carbs again a couple of weeks ago... I have lost 7 pounds. Determined to keep going!
When getting back into exercise after not doing so much for awhile... the weight loss is usually slower... it helps to have a weight scale that also measures bodyfat... because as you put on muscle... the scale will show less bodyfat even if the scale itself doesn't show any weight lost. Also if you start drinking more water as is suggested when doing low carbs.. it takes your body awhile to get used to the change before it releases the excess once it realizes this is going to be normal from now on. Another thing is cloths will feel looser/measurements will go down even though the scale may not have changed. This is especially true if you do any weight workouts to help build some muscle. Women do not put muscle on as easily as men, and unless we use very heavy weights the muscle is not huge like that with a bodybuilder. But muscle is our friend!
Because muscle burns more calories, which is what we want!
I don't know if you notice it too or not... but for me I find that I am able to sleep more soundly and not have to get up at night or toss and turn as much. However the first couple of nights that I started lc.... it was the opposite.. I would wake up alot. I know that when I am in Ketosis that I sleep much better.
Enough of me jabbering LOL!
Until tomorrow,
Norene
