well Day 3 back into this - as you can see my thought on coffee and sweeteners is kinda lax. I have however limited my self to 1-2 cups (approx 16 oz each) of coffee a day, the rest of my liquid intake is water (3-4 liters a day). I am back on my way of eating (high fat, low carb, moderate protein). So my meals consist of a protein usually a pork blade steak and veggies (bok choy and mushrooms are my fav). Its hard to get fat into a diet when its not associated with processed food - so i am consuming coconut oil with my coffee (which i of course forgot to add on my food list).
Anyway the hunger pangs and the cravings have gone away quickly as did the bloating and discomfort i felt after eating, but i am realizing that there is still a desire to eat (not physical but mental) eating out of boredom i guess - i am combating this with practicing martial arts to keep my brain occupied.
I had these grandiose plans of my meals and my activities - but mood swings and energy levels are not where i would like them to be. Still trying to get my blood sugars under control. I need to give my body time to adapt to this and the new lower sugar levels. the combination of the "atkins flu" and lower blood sugar level are taking its toll but the dr says that it take a few days for the body to adapt to new levels and i should start feeling normal again after a few days. the real test will be when i head home for the weekend, can i stay on track - no cheating.
anyway this was suppose to be a quick update as to where i was and how i was feeling - re reading these later helps me learn from my past.
So kinda sore and stiff due to increase activities, no hunger (but last night i did consume the entire supper i cooked and did not leave left overs) ketosis for 2 days - increased protein seems to help sore muscles. Need to work on endurance and cardio next - next week i will work some cardio into my daily routine.
no 2 oclock crash i use to have (even after i had 5 cups (16oz each) of coffee to keep me awake). well i guess this is a start - slow and steady - cant expect great weight loss in a short period of time - work on getting my body regulated first and introduce more activities as time passes. This is the plan. I am concentrating on getting my body into some sort of fitness and shape so i can be comfortable in my clothes and I can do the activities i enjoy without worry of a heart attack and so that i can enjoy what i am doing. Weight loss is secondary.
next week goals: no coffee (or at least no additives such s sweeteners and cream). maintain training time and introduce "cardio" walk for 15-20mins a day or elliptical for 10-15 mins a day. no change in diet or food.
