At least it seems to be. Over the past week I finally dipped below 185lbs which I'd been pretty much stuck at since I stopped exercising and eating healthy during fall of last year. I was then pregnant, so I tried to maintain instead of losing weight. Now I'm back to wanting to lose. This morning I was 181.5! I want to have this thread to help keep me motivated to keep at it.
I am eating a Keto diet, but I'm trying not to go too far over the fat limit according to MyFittnessPal. Additionally I have trouble staying below 30 carbs. The nice thing about even imperfect Keto is that it is filling and I'm not left hungry when trying to eat 1200 calories (I give myself about 100 calories of leeway). I personally don't drink much aside from water and unsweetened tea, but for those who are looking for a caffeinated drink to replace your sodas check out Crystal Light caffeinated drink packets. One has the same amount of caffeine as a soda. My hubby loves them and his soda craving is gone. As for tea I highly recommend The Wu-Yi Tea Company's Skinny Tropical Fusion. All of their teas that I've tried are good, but this one especially helps with appetite reduction in my experience. Despite that I like to change my flavors, so I don't drink that one every day, but every morning I do drink some type of green tea.
Supplement wise I take these NOW supplements: Eve, T-Lean, Omega 3-6-9, C 1000, and B-100. When I do strength training I follow it up with a glass of milk mixed with a scoop of Combat Protein Powder. Tastes good enough to make ice cream out of, but way healthier. I definitely felt the difference in my muscles last year when I started using this instead of protein bars.
Now I'm shooting for burning 5000 calories a day while eating around 1200 to try to lose weight fast. It's a lofty goal, so I'm not beating myself up if I don't make it, but it motivates me to push myself. According to FitBit I burned 3000 calories yesterday and didn't go hungry at all. I did take in 1500 in food, but find that within the range of reasonable at the start. Especially since I'm pretty sure the buffet salad was less than I logged it for.
In order to seriously increase my calorie burn I'm doing two things right now. I'm making sure I hit my 10000 step goal and as of yesterday I'm doing short bursts of cardio for 1-3 minutes to get my heart rate up. My goal with this is to at least do short bursts every hour until 8pm when I start settling down for bed. Once the bench is no longer does in the garage I also am going to start Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Shred, but maybe break each day in two parts to do in the afternoon and evening.
Anyone want to join me on this journey or some similar variation of it?
Also for the experienced cam girls on here do you think it's better to record and sell nude exercise videos or post clothed ones on YouTube to draw more people in?
