Ahh..... Back to work after a short weekend vacation! Well KSTS & I met with some friends in Gatlinburg, TN Thursday evening. Needless to say it is quite difficult to stay on track with eating well when you are in that kind of environment.... So lets get to the point - we are okay most of the time, but Saturday was a total loss.... Full Flavor Saturday! Breakfast at the pancake pantry, this consisted of lots of sugar and carbs and probably not much real nutrition. But is sure tasted amazing! Then dinner at the Smokey Mountain Brewery - this also consisted of lots of naughty foods, as well as beer, and mixed drinks! Apple Pie Moonshine - AMAZING! So I am not sure of the calorie swing those couple days, but i am sure it was ugly! We did go for a great walk in the hills Friday, and we were active while we were there - but no real work out was done and the bad eating... So I weighed in this morning - 324.4! That was still a 1.2 lb loss from last monday! And I feel right good about it! I think that if I weigh again tomorrow am or Wednesday it will be even less! I think I am probably holding some water weight - but I am okay with the 1.2lb loss! Considering how much I consumed and the lack of a work out - I am a happy boy! Plus when we worked out yesterday I had a lot of intensity and my work outs were lacking over all last week. So this lapse over a couple days is not going to get me down. I am excited to get back on track! I am going to do what I can to cut down on the carbs - evening though I have been eating well and with the right calories (for the most part...) I looked back and my diet is consisting of roughly 60 - 70% carbs. That is not a super healthy option. While you don't want to do completely away with carbs, you do need to be mindful of what you eat. So for a week or two I am going to eat really low carb to shock my body, then try to maintain a healthy level of 40% of my diet coming from carbs. I have done a lot of reading and healthy lifestyles fluctuate a little, but they say you should be at 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fats. I can do it! This is a lifestyle change that is worth doing and I want to make it happen!
