Day 4

It's about 2 p.m. All okay so far. Thursday is the day I have my very tough weight training session with the squats and other exercises that are hard for me. I have a session on Tuesday also, but for some reason the exercises that day are a little easier -- not easy, mind you, but at least I can breathe :o.

I always have to eat extra carbs before the training because your muscles use glucose, and it's a slower process to get glucose from fat. (It can be done in regular life or normal exercise like cardio--that's how we lose weight--but heavy weight training needs glucose NOW and only carbs provide that.) Because I am on a low-carb plan, I found I have to eat my carbs in the morning or I am very weak.

Anyway ... weight training went fine. Calories on target for today. I slept 7 1/2 hours last night even though I woke up quite a few times but that is better than I have been. I'll check in tonight. Good luck to all you chickies!!!

Hey everyone! :wave: Glad to hear everyone is still doing pretty good and hanging in there. I can't believe day 4 is almost over! I just can't believe that tomorrow is day 5 and the last day of the challenge. WOW! Went by faster than I thought it was going to. I weighed in on Monday at 267.4 and today at 263.4 so I have lost 4 pounds so far!

Fridays are usually where I screw up. Something about the weekend and then I feel like I have to eat out all the time....BUT not this weekend...I'm gonna try to stay on plan and keep losing!

So far I'm on plan for everything...

Food - :yes:

Hey everyone! :wave: I can't believe it is Friday already! It is amazing how fast 5 days can go by...then a month...then half a year....it just goes to show if we stick with things and only splurge occasionally then we can really do this in no time at all!!!

I'm looking forward to a good day 5 on plan! I have lost 5.5 pounds already this week :fr: I can't believe it!

Sooo...here is to a good day 5 everyone :hug:
