Accomplishing My Goals With Carbnite!

How is carbnite going?
It's as good as I thought it would be!
At this point I've lost all the weight I gained while off carbnite plus 2.5 lbs!
not that I gained a lot of weight....I gained about 5 lbs.
BUT most of that 5 lbs was water weight.
My clothes pretty much fit the same,
 maybe a tiny bit tighter... just a tiny bit.

So ...I accomplished my tentative goals I made back in February.
I'm down 30.5 lbs (since February) like I wanted.
Which means I've officially lost a ALL my pregnancy weight.

AND I'm fitting back into ALL my pre-pregnancy clothes!

I did it.

Not some magic pill or wrap.

Me... my own effort and determination!

You know what?

It feels so good! 

I didn't think I'd do it this fast.

 But thanks to Carbnite and now The Shockeave protocol.
I've done it!
I'm truly amazed.
I wish I could get more people to try carbnite and show them how amazing it is.
It really is the perfect diet for me.
And everyone I know that has given it a real chance,
they love it too!
It's such a fun diet for me.
And I don't think I've ever said a diet is "fun" haha.
I get to eat the food I want,
and I loose fat.
It's fun! haha.

Anyway.... how is Shockwave?

 It's going great!

I am still loving the program,

and I'm seeing results!

I should probably be taking pictures,
as I'm documenting all of this.

But I hate being in pictures.

I'd rather be behind the camera haha.

Which I'll probably regret when I'm older.

Oh well.

It's been great to be on carbnite and doing shockwave.

I can see how the two go together.

I have a long way to go with the muscle definition I want.

But I know I'm on the right track,

I'm definitely stronger,

 and I'm feeling good!

Beginning Again...The Carb Nite Solution!

My hubby and I are starting our second round of  The Carb Nite Solution today!

We both love this diet and want to be on it.

Who knew we would end up loving eating this way??!

It seemed so hard at first.

It literally took us months to really wrap our brains around low carb eating.

Now we are both really excited to start the diet again!

We know what we are doing,

we know exactly how to be successful,

 and we love the food...I mean who doesn't love meat and fat?!

Also this time around I'm following +DH Kiefer's workout plan...which is called The Shockwave Protocol.

 I got a gym pass...which is huge for me.

I've been working out from home for years.

I hadn't been to a gym since I was 19...which was 4 kids and 10 years ago! haha

I've been going to the gym for about 5 weeks now,

and I love every minute I'm there!

Lifting weights feels right.

Anyways... I super excited to see how my body transforms.

Between carbnite and shockwave I should get really good results!

Carbnite Recap and Breastfeeding

It's been a little over 6 months since my hubby and I started carbnite.

We have decided to take a little break for a few weeks,

then get back on it.

The first few months of Carbnite it was really hard to wrap my brain around low carb eating.

But then things finally just clicked and it became a way of life.

My hubby and I both LOVE carbnite!

In fact now that we have been of this diet for about a week,

we miss it!

Yes... miss it!

Yes ...this diet limits so many food groups,

but of the food groups you can eat....you can eat as much as you want!

No portion control.

Right now I'm having to portion control everything I eat,

and quite frankly I hate it!

I like eating fat and protein.

Actually I LOVE eating fat and protein!

Like +DH Kiefer  says "you get to eat like a fat kid"

 but loose weight instead of gain!

It's pretty awesome.

Then the once a week you stuff your face full of carbs for 8 hours because your body needs it,

guilt FREE....is awesome!

I 100% recommend this diet.

I lost 28.5 lbs...while breastfeeding the entire time!

I don't normally loose weight while breastfeeding.

The weight never seems to budge.

This is my 4th child mind you,

and I got all of my pregnancy weight off thanks to carbnite.

So if you are a breastfeeding mother,

 and you are wondering if you can do carbnite while breastfeeding?

The answer is YES.

It's completely healthy for both you and baby. 

And you will have plenty of milk.

What's Going On

What's going on?

Welll....

My Little William is sick...AGAIN!

He has a cold,

which of course comes along with the 4th ear infection of the year!

The doctor said he'll may have to get tubes in his ears if he gets another one this year.

I'm kind of guessing...William will get another one ear infection.

I mean what baby gets 4 year infections in 5 months?

I think my oldest boy has had 4 ear infections his whole life...and he's 8 1/2 now.

Plus side...I don't think we will be making an ER trip with this sickness...so that's progress!

What else is happening?

It's the last week of school until summer vacation!

Hooray!!

Summer is here! 

I think everyone is ready for school to be out!

Since it's been in the high 80's to high 90's here in lovely Hemet...

my kids have been swimming everyday over in my in-law's pool.

My hubby works from his parent's house...and this wonderful man of mine

 has been taking Landon, Audrey, and Carson with him to work in the afternoons,

so they can swim!

Which gives me a couple hours of break time almost everyday lately!

You would think I would get so much done.

But you know what I've been doing with that time?

Nothing.

Well actually I got caught up on Vampire Diaries haha

Why is this show so addicting?!

Let's be honest this face keeps me watching! haha

Oh Damon... I mean Ian Somerhalder (I totally had to just look up his real name.)

You are the perfect bad boy haha!

Anyway, 

now that I'm caught up I'm freed from this addiction....

  I can say today my house is clean again. haha.

It's been so nice to get those couple hours to myself everyday.

I really am so grateful my hubby has been doing this for me!

That is about all that is going on over here at my house.

This summer should be fun and relaxing.

The Carb Nite Solution week 13

I just finished week 13,

and I lost 2 lbs.

I'm down a total of 18.5 lbs,

and it feels good!!

Which leaves me with 7.5 lbs to go until I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

But I gained 5 lbs right before I got preggers,

 so I really have 12.5 lbs to be at my goal weight.

To be only 12.5 lbs away to my goal weight seem so doable! 

And to be able to have this weight off by the time my baby turns 1 year old (or close to it)....

is AMAZING for me!

It took me so long to get the pregnancy weight off last time I was preggers.

This time...well I'm proud of myself!

See the consistency is paying off!
If you aren't doing this diet,
but you are on a diet or working out.
Don't stop!
Consistency always pays off.
It takes so much time and effort to get results,
but they come.
I'm not one for quick weight loss or an easy fix.
It doesn't work.
As soon as you stop,
the weight comes right back.
Slow weight loss and sticking to your workout,
works.
The more effort you put in,
the more you'll work at keeping it off.
So keep up!
You and I can do it.
