Carb Nite Soluttion: Weigh in Wednesday #5

The update today is a bit disappointing for me.

I haven't lost any pounds since last Wednesday,

but I still have 2 more days until my carbnite,

which means I still have a chance to loose.

I did however loose inches.

In fact I lost 3 inches!

How I lost inches but not lbs??

I have no idea how that works.

I'll take what I can get,

I guess.

 Not seeing the scale go down,

is a bit frustrating!

I haven't cheated,

and I'm doing my best to do everything right.

So when I don't see the scale budge,

it's annoying to say the least.

This diet is a lot of work.

I want to see at least a 1/2 a pound down!

Finger crossed I'll see the numbers go down by Friday.

I also started working out this week.

You're not supposed to do any cardio, 

other than walking briskly

 while doing this diet.

(You're not eating enough carbs to do cardio.)

So you can only do resistance training.

I don't have any heavy weights,

bands,

or stuff like that.

 I don't want to get a gym pass!

 I can't afford another bill at the moment.

And with a baby that has been very sick,

I can't afford to leave him in the gym daycare

(with all those germs).

 I don't have time to go to the gym when my hubby is home.

(wow that was a lot of excuses haha)

So my option for right now is to do the Tracy Anderson Method (TAM)

I have her Metamorphosis workout.

I'm not doing the cardio portion,

just the mat work.

It's a 60 day program.

I know my sisters would scoff at my choice haha

(they are big into weight lifting)

But it's my option right now!

It's better than nothing,

at least I'm doing something!!

And it's actually pretty hard.

My legs are like jelly by the end of the workout!

I'm actually excited to see if I get the results I want.

I'll keep you updated on this too,

 while I'm at it.

Lucky you haha

So that is my update this week.

No pounds lost,

but no pounds gained,

  lost 3 inches,

And I started TAM

Until next week!

The Carb Nite Solution: Weigh in Wednesday #3

Week number 5 and I'm down 10 lbs!  

I'm excited over these numbers.  

I could have been doing the same old thing.

 Eating what I thought I had to eat to be able to provide milk for my baby.

 And not be loosing any weight.  

But I did make a change. 

 I'm loosing weight, 

and I'm happy to report I still have plenty of milk for my baby!! 

I feel so much better, 

happier,

healthier.

  I feel like I'm finally getting my life under control! 

 So many things have been out of my control since getting pregnant over a year ago.  

It feels so good to be getting things back in control in all aspects of my life. 

 I can't complain things are it's pretty good right now,

 fingers crossed they stay that way. haha

If you are wondering what I've eating here is a sample of an ultra low carb day:

7:30 am Breakfast: 3 large eggs yolk and all

10:00 am Snack: 3 or 4 pieces of bacon

12:00 pm Lunch: 1 or 2 hamburger patties (may or may not have a slice of cheddar cheese) and 1/2 to 1 cup of steamed broccoli

3:00 pm Snack: protein shake with almond milk

6:00 pm Dinner: Ultra low carb Shepard's Pie, using cauliflower mash instead of mashed potatoes 

9:00 pm Dessert: 2 Ultra low carb cheesecake bits and sugar free jello

I might have a serving of almonds some where in the day if I'm hungry.  

Or maybe some pepperoni chips. 

In this diet if you're hungry then eat something.  

You don't ever have to feel starving.  

And the plus side in this diet is,

 all the weight you are loosing is just fat.

  No muscle, 

just fat. 

 It's all about manipulating your body and hormone levels to get your body to the best fat burning state.

Weigh in Wednesday #2

Okay this the first time I have written a post from my phone.... My husband is occupying the computer tonight so I have no choice!  I'll make this post will be short and sweet.  First off Carbnite is awesome.  I am down another 1.5 lbs, so that's a total of 7.5 lbs in 4 weeks!  I feel so blessed to have found a diet that I can do, that works.  I feel good, and I'm eating.  I rarely feel hungry and if I do then I can eat.  This is no starvation diet which is a huge plus.  My husband is doing this diet with me and he's lost 11 lbs!  I love that we are doing this together.  It's been a great journey so far.  Hopefully next I'll have more weight loss to report!!

Weigh in Wednesday (Carbnite)

I've decided I'm going to start doing 

"Weigh in Wednesdays". 

 I really feel like sharing my weight loss journey!

  I have finally found a diet I can do where I can loose weight,

 and still have enough milk for my breastfeeding baby. 

 I normally can not lose weight while I'm breastfeeding.

 Usually if I try to loose weight my milk starts to dry up immediately!  

 So I just have to have an extra 30 or 40 lbs on me, 

until my baby weans, 

which is around a year. 

 Then I can finally start to get the weight off.  

I'm sorry though, 

I really do not like being chunky for a whole year without being able to do anything about it!  

But it is more important to me to breastfeed than it is to loose weight.

So I normally suffer through the long year,

because I want to do right by my baby!

This time I don't have to wait!

Carb nite has been quite an experience so far.

It's been 20 days since I started and I have lost 6 lbs!!

And I Still have plenty of milk for my baby!

I can't tell you how awesome this is for me!

Like really.

If you are wondering what this diet is I'll briefly tell you....

You start out with a 10 day period where you eat high protein, high fat,

and ultra low carb ....like only 30 carbs or less.

On the 10th day you get a carbnite! 

Starting between 4pm -6pm you not just get to,

you have to eat carbs.

Then you eat carbs basically until you go to bed.

It's total a carb fest!

Which is awesome.

So all those carbs you were craving and missing out on,

you now guilt free.... completely indulge for the night. 

Then you go back to eating ultra low carbs, high protein, and high fat. 

But this time and from now on you get a carbnite every 5-7 days.

So that's what I'm doing,

and it's working!

Honestly to be able to loose weight and still have plenty of milk to breastfeed my baby is completely AMAZING!!!

See you next Wednesday and I hope I have even more weight loss to report!

Life

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since July! 

That is pretty lame of me...haha

I don't really want to write a huge long catch up post,

so I'm not going to! 

Sorry,

if that is what you want!

I just don't have the energy to think about it.

My brain feels dead....probably from not getting enough sleep.

That new little baby of mine,

likes to wake me up to eat TOOOO much!

Speaking of I guess I haven't introduced him....here is William Thomas Mitchell

He's my sweet little man. 

 We call him old man baby elf,

because that is what he looks like! haha

He is....my love.

I really love him to death,

I'm quite obsessed with him to be honest.

I look at him and just see a bundle of love and cuteness!

But he makes me brain dead....I mean for reals!

My husband got upset at me the other week,

because I just couldn't seem to get things together.

He's used to me being so on top of things,

 I'm just not on my A game right now.

I'm trying harder though,

and accomplishing more than I was....so he's not upset with me anymore...haha

Oh the joys of life!

It's such a blessing to have a baby,

but I do miss sleeping....like a lot!

And being able to get everything done that I want to get done.

Baby William will grow up soon enough and I will be sleeping good again....I know this.

Meanwhile I'm really trying to enjoy life,

 even the hardness of it.
