Week 2
On
Tuesday was weigh in day. It was the moment of truth. I had to go to
my gym in order to weigh myself (don't have a home scale). I got on my
skateboard and rode over there. I swiped the key card to gain access and
the first thing I laid eyes on was the scale, taunting me, mocking me. I
knew that whatever the results were I would do well to not put too much
emphasis on them (when you are on this diet you may retain a lot of
water weight). I stepped on and pushed the weight over to 200 (it's
manual scale) while the smaller scale stayed on zero. And to my surprise
it was TOO MUCH! I lowered the big weight down to 150 and set the
smaller weight to 50 and made my way down from there. I weighed 199lbs! I
lost six pounds in a week JUST through this diet (even with a couple of
blunder days). In conclusion, this really does work, science was right
(duh). I will continue my keto journey and keep everyone updated.
Update: I have a new menu for week 2! Click on the link to download a PDF file of it, or check it out below.
As you might have noticed I took out the snacks in between meals. This is due to me feeling like I was overeating. This week I feel better with just the three meals. You can, as always, make any modifications you would like to suit your needs.
There are also two new recipes on this meal plan. The pancakes are so easy to make but in case you don't have time in the morning or what have you I also put the eggs back on. I alternated between the two this week and let me tell you it helps with breaking the monotony. But this is a work in progress, I am only recording said progress.
The lunch meal this week is also very simple to make and extremely tasty. Last week the overload of eggs was too much. I won't lie, I got sick of the egg salad (and probably won't eat that for a good long while). But that's what you gotta do, trial and error.
Well this week I did not get to do exactly what I wanted in the exercise category again. Life got in the way, as was the problem last time. But I did the high intensity interval training that I outlined in my Four Steps to Starting Keto.
On some days I couldn't get to the gym early enough or had very limited time I did a small variation of that. I call it the Ten Minute Workout. Doing this workout boosts your metabolism for the next 24-48 hours and further helps you burn fat, even if it's only a little compared to the half hour workout. Hopefully next week will look better for the gym time.
