I started my couch to 5k training app on Sunday. It was
hard! The heat and humidity have been brutal lately. I stuck with it and I ran
all 8-10 times it requires me to, for a minute each time. Yesterday after work
I hit the gym and completed the app again. Even in an indoor gym with A.C and a
huge fan I was DYING. Today I am going to do a Jillian Michaels video in my air
conditioned house. I miss that crazy woman. I miss my weights, and I want to
switch things up a bit since I don’t have any races coming up.
I did sign up for a virtual 5k through Fat to Finish Line’s
face book page that I will be completing while I am on vacation at the beach.
But other then that I don’t have anything set in stone. I have races I plan to
sign up for in September, and October and possibly August I just haven’t pulled
the trigger yet.
I believe I have officially hit a pleateu in my weight loss
and I have been toying with the idea to do Chris Powell’s carb cycling. I
bought the book last year and read it, but at the time Weight Wactcher’s was
working great for me. I am now committed
and willing to do the work it takes to try and give carb cycling a try.
HAS ANYONE DONE CARB CYCLING BEFORE
OR KNOW ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR ME?
I plan to start Monday July 1st. We just went
shopping at my house yesterday so I feel bad wasting so many groceries. Plus, I
peeked at the book again last night and it is going to take me about a week to
plan and prepare everything I will need.
I leave for a week vacation on July 12th so my
goal is to give this carb cycling a try for two weeks. If I hate it I will quit
(I have a feeling I will like it though.) If I can get a good system in place hopefully
continuing the diet on vacation won’t be too much of a hassle.
If anyone has any helpful information about carb cycling I would
greatly appreciate it!
