Kristen's Weightloss Journey

[krisfrogten]

Honestly, I've been too too scared to start a journal, for fear of failure. However, I'm on day 8 now, so here goes!

Induction Week 1: Lost 8lbs!
Went into small ketosis on day 4, and moderate by day 5.
No Cheats! Started working out on day 6. Haven't stopped.

Planning to post daily on meals, thoughts, lbs lost & exercise.

Day #8 Weight: 230

B: 2 Egg Omellete w/sausage & cheese, 2 water
L: Grilled Chicken Breast, Green Beans, 2 water
D:
S:
E: 30 Minutes on treadmill, Walk 3 min, run 2 min intervals

Enjoyed the treadmill alot more than the elliptical. Although I was quite dizzy when I got off. :/ I'm thinking about trying the couch 2 5K program I'm seeing so many talk about. I don't have an IPOD, so I'll have to go buy one.

Daily struggles: The kids are eating a bowl of my favorite cereal. The worst part, is that I had to make it for them. So here I am, typing to avoid the temptation.

I'm thankful that my dh is doing this with me. He's doing more of a caveman diet than Atkins, but I'm just happy he's not eating icecream in front of me. He's also working out! I'm so proud of him.

Day #10

B: 2 Eggs, Bacon, Water
L: 2 McDoubles, no bun, Water
D: Sirloin Steak, Water
S: None
E: 30 min on treadmill, some jogging

I've noticed a bit of pain in my left heal while jogging. Think I better take a couple days off of the treadmill, so I don't injure myself. Lots of activity today, and not much food. Really hoping for a good loss. Still in moderate ketosis.
