I finished week 6 and I have 6 more weeks to go! I do have to say I'm proud of myself. Not because I got to 115 pounds or I've even gotten past 120 in 6 weeks (banging my head against the table) I'm proud because I'm a really busy mom of two active boys who need me all the time. I keep a house clean. I cook 3 meals each day and serve snacks most days of the week. No one has ever said, "Mom, I don't have underwear." I read the bible and spend time with God each day. I try to give to my family and friends. And I do most of this with a husband who travels, so I'm holding down the fort by myself most days. However, not matter how busy I've been these past 6 weeks I've worked out 4-6 days a week for 6 weeks without missing a day (Thank you Lord)! Sometimes I've gone in twice in one day to get my yoga or cardio in too! I see changes and that makes me smile (Pressed 180 pounds with my legs today. 6 weeks ago I was at 90 with these little chicken legs). BUT... I also see stubborn area's and that makes me "sad," Especially since I could tighten up the ship and stop eating some things
(nuts/avocado).
Truth or Truth: I still can't give up nuts! I think the more I say I'm going to stop the more I want them so I have allowed myself to enjoy them for now. My favorite, dry roasted almonds with sea salt! Dangerous... I can eat a bag (11 servings ) in 2 days! No lie! I'm sure that's why I'm holding at 120! It's such a catch 22 for me! Phase III starts in 2 weeks so I'm planning on leaving the nuts alone and most fruit for that last month and really rip the body up!
Note: I was looking for an image of Almond Nuts to post in this blog and I ran across this article... I guess I'm going to back away from the dry roasted almonds! Ugh, can a girl catch a break 1800:1! Take a look at this article about Omega 3's verses Omega 6's. http://www.crossfitoakland.com/archives/2012/08/3-paleo-foods-you-may-be-over-doing
Paleo is going well for the most part! I'm pretty cool with no carbs these days (don't miss at all)... I guess my addiction was replaced with a "nut" addiction... I found out my "genotype" the other day with my bestie in PA Nafisa... I'm a WARRIOR and so I've been eating the foods that my genotype likes and I really have noticed a difference in my digestion and my energy level. For example: Chicken is a food I should avoid. I felt like I should for a while as I didn't feel the greatest after I ate it. Now I know why... I've also started focusing on eating foods that help my genotype lose weight along with Paleo to keep the (stomach) fat away. Surprise that's a pitfall of The WARRIOR genotype (stomach fat) and what keeps me in the gym all the time. After I had my kids it's like I can't get a six pack to save my life! (I know, I know... stop eating nuts. To the voice in my head). Take a look at the website: http://www.genotypediet.com/index.shtml if you want more information on genotype it makes a lot of sense.
