Tiki - Keto Log 2009

[Tiki]

awww...why thank you for following along. no lock box bc no more living with my bf. im with my sis now. usually she is a good healthy eater, so i dont have that much temptation around. tho i did go through a whole container of oats very quickly a few wks ago lol.

well hope you have a good weekend. do u get a cheat every week? im thinking, yes?

Oatmeal isn't too much of a temptation. But oatmeal cookies?!!



THAT'S ME! *lol*


And yes, I get a treat meal once a week (on saturdays) - but they've been more like treat binges up to this point. I promised myself that yesterday was going to be my LAST ONE and, from this point out I needed to start practicing some self control; even during my treat meals.

[Tiki]

ugh girly time...

Ughhhhh, is right!

Well it's THAT TIME again and, like MG said, "Ugh".

And I must admit, I missed a session of cardio on Thursday and, I didn't get all of my meals in on Friday. I know *shame on me*. But in spite of falling short and Girlie Time toying with my hormones, I managed to eek out some progress for the week. My weight is down another pound and, I'm finally starting to regain some of my definition - my shoulders are starting to get their shape back.


I'm averaging about 1lb. per week.

Nice progress ms lady! don't ya just love seeing the diff in pictures!!!!!


how long is that hair though????

[Slat1]

Btw, I think you should change your Avi to one of your Abs pictures....

I need some "motivation" too!

When they are back I might. I don't want to be accused of false advertising.
They are getting there quicker than I thought. Tightening the diet up has really helped.
Now if I can just get myself to do some cardio...

[Slat1]

MG is right. You really can see a difference in the pictures. You are doing a great job. Keep kicking *ss!

Thank you. And Yes, I love seeing the visual changes - the progress every week just makes me hungry for more results.

As for my hair, it's really-really long. It hangs about 6" or more past my bra strap down to my lower back. -- I actually can't stand it! The only reason I've kept it long is because the opposite sex finds it sexy and it looks good in pictures. *lol* BUT, once my face thins out a bit more and the weather warms up, I may cut it ALL OFF and donate my hair to Locks of Love.

lol....over at bb.com, I switched my Avi over to an old picture of myself (for a bit of motivation) and people kept PM'ing me, "WOW you made great progress so quickly". I had to keep telling everyone that it was an old pic. *lol* I finally just took it down.

This one....




And btw, thanks for the encouragement!

And btw, thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you for the motivation to get them back!!!
I had a great day at the gym. Still no cardio though. I probably need to go in the morning since 10 to 11 hour days kill my motivation.

I asked Danny if I could go back to my Full Body Workouts and, the answer was yes. For the next Four weeks he wants me to go ahead and alternate between my Full Body Workouts M/W/F then switch to an Upper/Lower Split M/T/TH/F the following week. Sounds Good To Me! Btw, Full Body Workouts truly are my absolute Favorite way to train!

I think I am going to have to go in the mornings. I'm not excited about the prospect. Its easier for me to see 6am because I have not slept yet than it is to see it because I woke up at that time.
In the end I will get where I want to be faster. I can controll my meals better that way too. I never know when I am getting out of work... 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Timing meals is hard. If I want to make it easy I guess getting up early is the answer.
Cardio... ugh. It works but I don't have to like it. That is also on my list of things to do.
I am down to 255. I can see the outline of abs. Another 25lbs and you will get a picture!

[Slat1]

BTW all your lifts are better than mine! There is nothing like coming back from surgery.

[Tiki]

Too much work and not enough cardio?!!
Hmm....maybe you need one of these! *lol*

[Tiki]

I had a friend hit the Gym with me yesterday and, although he wasn't feeling 100% into it (because he usually trains early in the morning) "I" had a great workout nonetheless. Having a partner often sets a great pace for me - we were in and out of there in an hour and fifteen minutes.

That would do it. Each day I realize more and more I am going to have to get up early to work out before work!
