Good morning everyone! Sorry ive been MIA this past weekend, very busy! Didnt do the greatest in the food department, but it wasnt all bad so im not overly concerned. Lots of water, no fast food. The interview went fine friday, will have my acceptance letter sometime this week. Hooray :-) Im actually a little nervous though, its a big commitment.
Trying something new this week, im going to try to keep my carb intake low to see how it affects the scale. Ive never been low carb, so this will be an interesting little experiment. This week also begins an ironman challenge im in, so its time to lay out those fitness goals. Cycling, running and swimming. I need to incorporate more strength training though. Perhaps I should go back to my dvd. This will fit in pefectly with my challenge starting friday to give up weighing in for six weeks. Friday will be my final weigh in until the end of may.
I have a lot of thoughts bumbling around I wish I had more time to organize them. Alas I have to take the lil one to preschool, then renew my tags. I got stopped yesterday because my sticker was expired... oops! Then I have to get the second part of my TB done, and ideally I will make it to the gym. Run run run.
I will try to get caught up on journals later today. Have a good one :-)

Funny - I was reading about low carb this weekend - then I had a cinnamon roll, LOL. I am on the fence with 'wah, the farmers market will be open soon w/all those fresh veg' and am going to go thru the induction menu again to see what all I could have and not have ~ just to see like you - 'what will it do for me right now' - maybe two months to give it a chance and see if I can maintain the energy I have now.

Not to stick my big nose in, but a couple things on carbs. First, as the semi-endurance athlete that you are now :) carbs are HUGELY important for performance. Second, people are unnecessarily scared of carbs. You have three choices with food- carbs, protein, or fat (there are no other categories!) ~~ And guess what- carbs are 4 calories per gram, protein is 4 calories per gram, and fat is 9 calories per gram. Not a big fan of the low carb program, it doesn't make logical or mathematical sense. Keep focusing on quality of calories like you have been and you'll be fine :)

Sounds like you're a busy lady! I'm trying to lower my carbs too, but mainly want to do it by cutting some of the junk out and eat a little more protein, so keep the good carbs and cut out some of the bad. I did it last week and felt good and less bloated. I'm so glad the interview on Friday went well!! It's a big commitment, but will be so worth it!

Here is my opinion as a low carber. Carbs cause an insulin response. Insulin sends signals to your body to store fat. Carbs do not keep you full like fat does. Eat the same amount of calories in fat vs. carbs and you will be satiated longer with the fat. Lowering carbs and upping fat or protein can help with weight loss in a lot of situations.
