Holy Slow Carb! Lets start by saying that I weighed in early
this week, after only 2 days of Slow Carb dieting. (And I carbed it up the
weekend before I started….) So I thought the results were pretty impressive! I
actually found my first week of slow carb to be pretty easy. I did want some
bread and sugar, but I held strong and stayed on track. Even the family was in
on my plan and enjoyed some new foods (like lettuce wrap tacos.)
My biggest issue has been working out. I hurt my back last
week. Yes, by simply bending over to pick something up….getting older sucks….
So my sore back has slowed me down this week. I did manage to do some lighter
workouts this week, but not as many as I wanted. Most of my workouts this week
have been low impact and core strengthening to try to not injure my back again
in the future. Hopefully this week my back will be even better and I can do
even more.
I cannot wait to try some new things this week. I have been
searching Pinterest to find ideas of some new foods to try. Particularly some
breakfast ideas that I can make ahead of time. The slow carb diet wants you to
eat breakfast within thirty minutes of waking, which is next to impossible as I
get the kids ready for school. So I want to try some foods I can prepare ahead
and just heat up. I also usually eat my lunch in the car on my way to work 2
days a week and that was my biggest challenge this past week. So I really have
to come up with a plan for those days.
Highlights from this week: Went all slow carb and stuck with
it (except on my cheat day- which was great!) I lost about a pound and a half
in about 2 days on the plan. And again-
low carb all week even with all these Girl Scout cookies surrounding me….
Challenges for this week: Week 2 of Slow Carb. Gotta stay on
it. I really want to give this diet at least a full month and see how I feel
about it. I also need to stay on the workout plan. Even if I do 4 days of low
impact and all core strengthening- exercise is exercise!!!!
