Kalaya - Thanks!
The plan doesn't sound bad, just keep in mind a big part of the science is weight loss is accelerated by ketosis - about a 1/2c of sweet potato is 27 carbs, no fiber. Depending on how sensitive you are to carbs, this *could* be enough to knock you out.
My personal issue was suffering from horrible "keto-flu" symptoms
I accidentally knocked myself out about 4 months in - UGH! I did everything I could to make sure I didn't have to keep going through that
1 more thought - I didn't start running until recently, and had upped daily caloric intake a little over a month ago from 850 - 900 avg to 1,250 - 1,400 avg...even a 1/2 a sweet potato might not keep you from bonking. I defer to
HIS and
Jenny though
I tend to be over cautious
Ro - thanks!
I started looking at a company that offers this service - not sure my kids would be thrilled seeing that on the fridge all the time...but given my older daughters weight issues, maybe it would inspire her too...but it took me 20 years to get my head around my weight, so no judgement
smd - Thanks! & CONGRATS! That is terrific - IP certainly isn't cheap. Not sure how long you will be on protocol, but that is a huge savings, regardless.
So I posted my *new* favorite P3 breakfast over in the thread for those who want to check it out.
No WF issues - had both Quest & WF last night (made banana pudding - thanks
Ro!) & no icky throat, etc...go figure.
Today I am going down to the gym and taking my first group class in YEARS - Insanity!
Although I had a terrific breakfast, I am still planning to do 1/2 a premier protein before class & the other 1/2 after
HIS - Your thoughts if you have a minute...I really don't think this is a wise idea, even after my success in the 5K Sunday...DH wants to do a 10K on 12/13. We looked at the course and it is fairly flat - also it's a trail run (no concrete or asphalt).
I have a wonky knee - the support I have helps and I have zero issues with it when I'm running (it stiffens a little when I'm sedentary)...but I saw your other post about only adding a mile at a time...and this is only 3 weeks away. My pre-5K training was 4 miles & I did that 5 times...
There is a 5K option I am perfectly fine with
not like I could stay with DH anyway...its just the start times are really staggered - 8am start for the 10K runners and 9am for the 5K...so DH would already be back and just hanging around waiting for me before I even started...and vice versa.
I have a feeling I know what you'll probably say
I am definitely leaning towards the 5K...OR a tacky lights run (6K) the night before (if I can talk DH into it...he is all about the competition right now...)
