Thank goodness, although I did get more housework done, lol.
However I'm going on vacation tomorrow for the weekend, soooo I won't be able to post AGAIN as my mom puts the kibash on all electronics :).
Here is where I'm at right now:
I had an offer from a fellow instructor/personal trainer at the gym. She took a biosignature course that focussed on hormones/pollutants/etc. and the effects it has on your specific body. She offered to take me on as a guinea pig per say, for free, as long as I document it for her so she can show future clients. I took the bite and went for it. I figured I've been stuck at the same weight, give or take 5lbs, since last October. I eat decent and work my ass off and there is nothing changing, except I've noticed more fluff in the middle. So what the heck I will try something new.
Initially it seemed pretty interesting, taking measurements with the calipers from 15 different points on my body. My body fat is approx. 29%, which I was surprised with. I thought it would be around 35%. I have 140lbs of lean muscle on me....crazy. Each part she measured represented something within me that is functioning well or not well.
Than came the dreaded food part, I swore I'd never restrict myself this much but its free and I'll try anything at this point. I am not promoting this and I'll try not to talk about this too much because I don't feel its a good way to go. It is a low carb bootcamp I am on right now. Literally it sucks butt. I follow this regime for 2 weeks and than start adding things back into my diet, similar to a cleanse or allergy testing. I certainly picked a hard week to start this as I'm going away to visit my mom for 5 days. I figure if I didn't start on (Monday) than I'd put it off another week, than another, there is always an excuse! So just get my 14 days over with and I can dream of my cheat meal on day 15 for 14 days, lol!
IT is not easy, but I'm really trying to stick with it. Sometimes I'm not even hungry because I can't stand to stomach the food I have to eat...so I choose not to eat. All I can say is thank goodness for almond butter (I can have that!)
I wasn't sure if I should blog about this because I'm really into normal healthy eating and not restricting of things you love. I thought if this works and I started to get into the 170's than people are going to want to know what I did to get over this big hump-de-dump.
So this is where I'm at my bloggies. I'm ending day 3, YEAH!

You are brave to try this (especially with a holiday thrown in there), I have wanted to but never have. You will probably be surprised in what she finds out about your body.
Enjoy your vacation!
Doing something for short term isn't too bad, I think it is when we say we are NEVER eating xy or z that we are going to have a problem.
Hope it goes ok when you are out of your comfort zone.
