Bubblethighs No Longer.....my Log For Keto

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Okay, I've been using the 40/40/20 diet and exercising for 6 days a week for approx 6 weeks straight. This was going off and on the past year. I've been consistant in losing an inch in my hips and waist every two weeks (the past 6 of them). I want to see if I can revamp my diet and go keto style. I'm going to try and focus on eating only 20 grams carbs a day. I've been eating 1500 cals a day. This might be low, I'm not sure but with all these calculators, who knows which is right????

Basically my workout is like
M,W,F - weights with 1/2 - 45 min cardio

I hope this is a good start for day 1. I know it's not the best. Just have to find no nitrate products and figure out more menu ideas.

Well, I hope I get some feedback and look forward to getting this fat off once and for all!!!

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

CALORIES ARE 100 OVER BUT I'M NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT IT.... I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY CALORIES I NEED.

MY GOAL - TO LOSE 32 LBS.
SHORT TERM - LOSE AT LEAST 15 OF THEM BY THE JUNE. THAT IS 13 WEEKS. APPROX 1 LB A WEEK. IF MORE CAN BE LOST A WEEK THAN SO BE IT!!!!! :o)

[phabphour20]

Don't worry about the 100 calories. I might try to get your fat ratio up a bit if you can without dropping protein too low. Not sure if that is possible.

Best of luck on keto! I'm sure you'll do great!

-PP

[joker22]

Almonds are a good snack with a sizable amount of fat. So far if i need a bit of fat i'll eat celery with cream cheese or just scoop the cream cheese. Slim Jims are a staple for one of my snack/meals with string cheese. With these added in my diet i am consistently around 65% fat intake.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

joker22 - Celery w/ cream cheese sounds great! I'm worried about nuts because of the carbs in it. But it's not too much. Just don't know if I should sacrifice veggies that I take for it or not.

phabphour20 - Yeah, I'm not sure if the fat ratio thing is possible since I need my protein around there already.

Just a newbie here so please excuse the ignorance. I promise I catch on quick. I can't wait to get into ketosis and make that fat BURN BURN BURN!!!

Thanks for the support ..... this is exactly what I need!

GYM IS CLOSED BECAUSE OF ALL THE SNOW....SNIFF SNIFF. WAS SUPPOSED TO GET 45 MINS CARDIO. I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING HERE. THE KIDS WILL END UP SABOTAGING IT.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I strongly feel like eating some carbs!!! I am going to post and get this out. I need to be strong. It's so hard when you see your family eating bread, donuts, pasta. Not that the food I'm eating is bad. It's actually very VERY good. But I'm craving!!!!!!!!!! Ughh.

[AMYKBLUE]

YES!! I did it! I beat my temptation for carbs and overcame it. I ate a piece of pepperoni and it helped!!

My problem has been thirst last night. I had to wake up two times and get a cup of water. I'll have to check if that's common.

My legs are still sore from Friday's workout. The gym was closed due to the snow storm. I will TRY to do cardio here at home but it doesn' look promising.

[YMCA4ThisChick]

Good luck on your diet BBThighs no More! The first week is the hardest, but you can supress the craves.
Best of luck in your health goals!

Sistas in keto.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

THNX YMCA4THISCHICK!! I can't wait to see what happens.

I checked the scale and found I dropped 3 lbs. This is just since March 6th. I know it's probably water weight but it is motivation!! I found at the gym I was sort of sluggish. I couldn't lift the weights for the amount of reps I usually did. I know it will pass but I sure felt like a baby. My muscles where very shaky after my workout. I like that feeling. My legs are sore and I didn't even work out on them.

One note to self. DO NOT GO OVER 3 HOURS AND NOT EAT. Or at least EAT AFTER WORKING OUT. I went to the grocery store and got a rush to my head, started to sweat and felt like passing out. Thank God they had some hard boiled eggs and lunch meat. I pretty much downed them with some water and a cheese stick. HA HA HA. Never again will I be that stupid.

Day plan is:
9am
3 egg omlet w/ mozz cheese and 2 tbsp flax seed
4 pcs bacon

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Now burn that fat off of me!!!

[StlBarbie]

YEAH ... seeing results is SO MOTIVATING!!!! :)

I agree .... not exceeding 3 hours ... ESPECIALLY at the beginning certainly is setting yourself up to be successful!!! :)

[bigg_K]

Ketosis can dehydrate you, so make sure you are really drinking lots of water throughout the day. Maybe put a bottle bedside, so if you're thirsty you can just swig it and go back to bed. I had to do this in the beginning when I first started.

Your diet looks good, although this might be hypocritical of myself, (Since I love Jello) But you MIGHT want to reconsider the jello before bed time. I am not sure on this one, so take it with a grain of salt. But I have heard of artificial sugar sometimes spiking Blood Glucose, so I don't think this would be something beneficial right before bed. Perhaps just have it a little early, and not leave it as your last meal?

But then again I might be full of it. :) If you're having trouble hitting enough fat, a little Olive Oil on the broccoli should solve that!

Anyway Good luck, and I wish you all the best.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Thanks StlBarbie and konradac for the visit and tips!

I was wondering about that jello thing. I saw it in Atkins and thought it would be good to have so I don't lose out on the sweets. But it's a good idea to try it earlier...just in case. Or maybe not at all. It might mess with my head and make me feel like I need more sweets. The bottle of h2o by the bed sounds great! I'll try that tonight. I found I'm drinking almost a gallon of water now a day! That was so hard for me before. Now it's like nothing.

Well off to the gym tonight. Just for a cardio day. My arms and back are sore from yesterday.
I think I'm getting that droopy tired feeling now. Just feel like taking a nap. I hope I pick up from this soon.

Menu was like:

8:30 am
3 eggs
5 slices bacon

12pm
hamburger patty w/cheese, mayo, and mustard
1 slice tomato and romaine lettuce

3pm
2 eggs and swiss cheese w/ glass of fibersure

5pm
whole chicken legs from crockpot!! so tender! YUMMM
1 c broccoli

then workout doing 45 minutes cardio

1676cals 107g fat 29g carb (25g net carb) 148g protein
59%fat 5%carb 36%prot

About this fibersure??? does this really count as net carbs?? When I put it in fitday, it doesn't except the dietary fiber for some reason. I need to check this out. If that's the case, then I had way too many carbs. If it's counted as dietary fiber then I had 19 net carbs. I just hope so because I'd be pi$$ed if I get out of ketosis because of this crap!!

[bigg_K]

All the Fiber in Fiber Sure can be subtracted from the Total Carbs, so your net Carbs.

You didn't get out of Ketosis. :)

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Thanks for the support and visit konradac!
I feel better now.

I'm liking this diet so far. I mean bacon, eggs, butter, shrimp scampi, steak!!
Yummmmmmmmmmm! I hope my appetite stays this way and I don't get sick
of it.

I got my heart rate monitor in the mail yesterday and played around with it today. It is more realistic than those machines. For 50 minutes, I burned 550 cals (per heart rate monitor) On the machines, it says 800. This will be cool to follow. Sunday, I will wear this all day and see how many actual calories I burn in a day w/o exercise. That will be cool to find out and I can focus on how many calories I need for weight loss.

Very sore from legs workout yesterday. That's cool!!

[bigg_K]

Do you mean you don't like your routine? How is it lookin?

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Maybe I just didn't like that I couldn't go up in weights like I normally do. But it might be because I could be going through the "slump" and will start to pick up soon. I HOPE! I'm not lifting as much weight as I did before. But today my triceps and biceps are sore so I know that my workout was okay. Just need to focus on my chest and back.


I'm following the body for life routine with weights since that is what I was used to. It alternates during the week. Example I workout arms/back/chest on Mon and Fri and then legs/abs Wed on 1 week then the next week would be legs/abs Mon and Fri then arms/back/chest on Wed.

There are supposed to be 5 sets with
12reps, 10 reps, 8reps, 6reps, 12reps
With each set you increase weight. When you get to the 4th set of 6 reps you should be really using the highest weight for you at the time where you can hardly even do 6. The last set of 12 reps you go down to what weight you lifted on the 3rd set. Then you do another set of 12 reps for the same muscle but a different exercise right after. There is a minute rest in between sets and 2 minutes in between muscle group.

I hope all that made sense.

My workout yesterday was:

Chest
(bench press w/olympic bar) 12 w/bar, 10 w/bar, 8 w/5# 6 w/5# 12 w/bar
then 12 of butterfly w/30#
I couldn't exceed 5# like before

Shoulders
(dumbbell shoulder press) 12 w/8#, 10 w/8#, 8 w/8#, 6 w/10#, 12 w/8#
then 12 of side raises w/ 3# dumbbells

Back
(dumbbell row) 12 w/10#, 10 w/12#, 8 w/15#, 6 w/20#, 12 w/15#
then 12 cable rows at 80#

Triceps
(press w/machine) 12 w/30#, 10 w/35#, 8 w/35#, 6 w/35#, 12 w/30#
then 12 tricep standing dumbbell extensions w/ 15#

Biceps
(dumbbell bicep curl) 12 w/10#, 10 w/12#, 8 w/15#, 6 w/20#, 12 w/15#
then 12 hammer curls w/ 12# (the last two sets I couldn't finish the last two reps)

Well that's it. All in a nutshell. ha ha

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Today I did 70 minutes of cardio
20 on eliptical
20 on stairmaster
20 on stationary bike
then 10 on eliptical trainer

WHEWWWW! I'm beat!

[bigg_K]

The workout looks fine. How long have you been lifting for? Seems kind of like an advanced routine. I'd usually recommend the standard 3 x 12, 3 x 15, or 4 x 8. Depending on the weight.

But I guess thats really up to you, and whether it "feels" alright. ie, you're breaking down the muscle enough. So what I'm trying to say is I don't know if you really need 5 sets per workout to get that feeling, but if you're feeling like its working the muscles then its fine.

Otherwise the increase in weights could depend on your caloric intake, and also you have just started Keto, so I think the first 2 -3 weeks many stay around the same with their lifts, and some even drop.

Personally, I more or less stayed the same for 3 weeks, creeping up 5lbs here and there. But after introducing creatine, the strength really kicked it up a notch. But I'm not sure if you want to be taking that...all depends on your goals!

And thats one marathon of a cardio session, how is your intensity on them?

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

ha ha yep! I was mad I didn't get to do my cardio on Friday because I was meeting friends for lunch. ha ha. So I tried my hardest to add more today.
The intensity was mostly moderate but got hard during the stairmaster part.

Maybe I do need to up my calories. I guess It's hard when you are used to 1500 all the time. I did increase to around 1600. Maybe I'll hit 1700. Just really want to lose up to 2 lbs a week and it's hard with all these "calorie calculators" all over the boards. But I plan on wearing my heart rate monitor and see on my rest day (tomorrow) how many calories I actually burn in a day. Just to get a rough estimate.

Oh, I've been lifting off and on for a year.

Friday will be week 2 on the diet. I measured already because I was getting anxious!

Lost 1/2 inch off my waist
1 inch off my hips
and 1 inch off my tummy
so far!
Thighs and butt are still the same....arghhh. Any idea on how to
focus on those areas more than what I am? Or maybe it's harder
for women to lose from there. Who knows!!??

We'll see what the next 2 weeks bring me!!!!!!!!

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I have had this dream where there was all this food around me. TONS OF deserts..... LOADS OF carbs like mashed potatoes and stuff. I end up not beating the temptation and eat more than I can handle. Then I get so depressed because I screwed up. Ha ha ha. I wake up upset at myself and then I find out it was only a dream!! LOL! What a stupid dream.

I guess I'm dreading the family get together this Easter. We are a bunch of people that like to EAT. There will be tons of things there. I don't know if I should just eat it and get over it or fight the urge and try to bring some things of my own. Stupid, I know but it's on my mind.

[WaistofSpace]

2 weeks on the diet, maybe it is time for a carb up. Start it on Sat afternoon and then end it on Sunday night. Get to the gym on Monday and get yourself back into the flow.

[bigg_K]

You can try to do the carbup for Easter, but then you'd have to keep the fats relatively low. Personally I'm carbing up on Saturday and then just pounding loads of Eggs on Sunday.


As for Whether you should do a carbup based on a dream....lol I'd recommend it if you are starting to "feel" it in the gym. Less intensity, a little burnt out, etc. Basically you're not your usual lifting self. ;)

Otherwise Keep it up!

Unfortunately you can't spot reduce, so you can't burn off fat from your thighs and butt. Depending on the individual, this can be the last place for fat to go, but it'll definitely come off as you're burning body fat throughout the whole body.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Yep, you both are right. I'm feeling run down lately and maybe it'll be good to do the carb up on Easter. Then Monday back to normal. I'm going to keep working out and finish Saturday then do my carb up Sunday. Got to make sure the fat is low. This will be interesting.

But when I opened that box of Graham crackers for my kids.... that aroma was sooooooooo good. I don't even like Graham crackers that much. LOL

[jecristragedy]

I have had this dream where there was all this food around me. TONS OF deserts..... LOADS OF carbs like mashed potatoes and stuff. I end up not beating the temptation and eat more than I can handle. Then I get so depressed because I screwed up. Ha ha ha. I wake up upset at myself and then I find out it was only a dream!! LOL! What a stupid dream. .

Haha! When I first started eating clean, I would have a dream every single night where I was stuffing my face with bread and cheese and meat. (the two things I had cut out at the time, plus I was a vegetarian, too.)

Every. Single. Night. And I would know during the dream while I was eating that I wasn't supposed to but it never stopped me. And I'd wake up still thinking it was real.

Then I'd have plain oatmeal and egg whites to snap myself back into reality.
Keto is WAY better! Yolks and cheese, mmm.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

LOL! Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one with that dream. ha ha.

Yes, keto is awesome. I'm loving the eggs w/ cheese, bacon, olive oil, cheese, red meat, and did I say CHEESE!! ha ha

[jecristragedy]

Cheese! It may very well be my favorite food.


No, it definitely is.

I need to get some more fiber in but macros are almost perfect!!!!!!!!

I need to get some more fiber in but macros are almost perfect!!!!!!!!



I have the same problem. I was just rummaging through our fridge and found that we have some hemp protein powder. It has 15g of carbs and only 8g of fiber but it peaked my interest-- so I did a little research and found some with 14g of carbs-- and all 14 of those are fiber. and 11g of protein.
It also has 18 amino acids, and a little fat. =P

I was going to ask some people what they thought of it but it gets so confusing. ie Have olive oil, but not flax oil because you cant have plant fats, etc. so olives are animals now? Seems like a lot of people on keto aren't too worried about fiber, either.

Hemp seeds aren't animals so I may be shunned for mentioning it, but 14g of fiber sure sounds nice to me.
Just a suggestion if you're looking to add a lot more fiber easily. Because I was also looking at supplements and you'd have to drink so many glasses of "fiber-water" or take 50 pills to make a difference. Ugh!
Otherwise we'd have to eat like 10lbs of veggies.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Sounds good to me. I'll have to look into it and check it out. I don't think it's a problem to eat plant fats. That is high in fiber, too. But I can't mix that with much because 2 tbsp of flax seed (the one I got) is only 4 grams fiber. Can't imagine having 6 TBSP just get 12 grams in. LOL

I got fibersure and got mixed signals about taking it from different people. First of all the label is all messed up because it says that there are 5g fiber for 1 tsp. It says it's 25calories. Okay so there are only 6 carbs in it. Doesn't makes sense because if you take the 6 carbs and subtract the fiber 5 it would equal 1.
That would mean that it would only be 4 calories not 25. I hate labels sometimes.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Easter was awful, awful, AWFUL! I tried filling the kids easter baskets without eating the candy but temptation got the best of me. I probably ate a days worth of calories. Then at the party the following morning was worse. Even though I brought keto food with me, the food got the best of me.
I just couldn't pass up the cannoli and cookies. I really could have if I wanted to. Just plain stupid. But oh well...one cheat day for two weeks isn't bad. It will just slow my progress.

to work.



Glad to be back on track and back to the gym.

[jecristragedy]

I just now saw your question!

Yeah, skd is no carb-ups. We'll see after I've been on it for a while, but the plan is to do zero. I may end up doing 1 a month, if that. Just to shock my system.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I think I'm going to try that, too. I need to do more research about doing carb ups. There are too many posts with different carb up ideas.

I keep learning new things and reading the posts over and over I find more details. Like not having fat after workout. I've been doing that all along.
My only problem is that I have no choice but to go to the gym once a day. So that's weights then cardio. That is usually 1 1/2 - 2 hrs at the gym. I wonder if I should just bring protein after my weight workout then do cardio. Is it even going to do anything?? I guess I'd better post this question but will find if someone else asked it already.

[jecristragedy]

If you're doing weights then cardio, just have the shake after like you normally would. You don't want to have a shake then do cardio, it'll be slushing 'round in your stomach. =p You'll probably gett cramps as the blood rushes to your gut to digest it and it will take away your energy from working out.

You could also do cardio first? Since you don't have any glycogen to burn, which is the main reason they say it's better to do cardio after weights.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

thanks! Perfectly answered. I thought it would be gross, too, with a shake in my belly while jogging. ha ha.

Okay, I'm changing the cardio to start before weights.

Now I need to find out if it's true not to have fat after weights and cardio for 90mins I think because it slows the process of protein getting to your muscles. I need to re-vamp my diet then.

[bigg_K]

No worries about Easter...it happens. As long as you get back on the horse, and kick your butt extra hard this week to make up for it. (I'm in the same boat hehe)

As for when to do shakes...well I can't wait till after cardio personally, I workout in the morning and I am running on half a scoop of protein and some creatine. Once I'm done lifting, I drink the other scoop of protein and more creatine. Then do Cardio, its not the greatest, but I'm usually so damned starved I can't wait after the Cardio, AND I feel it helps with the absorption of nutrients right after lifting. And then the cardio helps metabolize the shake during the workout. But I've been doing it for awhile now, and got used to it. Don't really get an upset stomach, or anything. but maybe its because of my shake...Its fairly light considering its just half a scoop of protein, creatine, and I drink a ton of water before and after.

This way also when I get home I can start eating fat sooner, since I've already had my PWO Protein...

But there isn't much science behind this, just wanted to let ya know its done, and "works" for the most part. My cardio can be long, and just feels like its 'too late' if I pound it afterwards. But whatever works for you!

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Thanks for the feedback konradac! How soon after your session do you start eating fat again? I get conflicting answers from different posts.

I wish that I could exercise in the morning on an empty stomach. It's so hard to get out of the door with these two silly kids. If I exercise at home, they jump all over me and it gets pretty annoying. lol.

Well, I survived the cake and ice cream! Did not have one bite. Although it is sitting in my fridge right now, I will resist the temptation! I will try so hard.

The pizza was rough. Bringing my own food helped alot. I did pick at some sausage on the pizza, though.

Especially because now I am 169!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in the 160's now! That make me so happy and I do not want to screw anything up! Maybe the goal of 140 by late July may even be accomplished!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I got a nice compliment about how my complexion looks so great!! Isn't that awesome? No miracle food, here. Just your run of the mill steak, eggs, bacon, cheese, and butter. ha!

and less than 2 weeks on keto, 3/5 of that is gone. You won't have a problem!

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

That's awesome to know. Hopefully my metabolism will stay like this. Never before was I lucky to lose 2lbs a week. It's always been 1/2 lb here or there.

Last night I did so good. I gave the kids a piece of cake w/ice cream and resisted it. I did take a good smell of it, though. ha ha ha. So maybe I inhaled a carb from that. LOL. But other than that, stayed on track.

Felt good today. Nothing new. I was happy to bring a cooler since I was
watching my nephews and wouldn't be home all day. Turned out good and
did not have a problem cheating. Debating if I'll have a "carb-up" Saturday. I might not since I'm not feeling too run down. Just hope that I don't get sick because one of the nephews was sick and coughing all over the place.

My jeans are getting baggy! I'm on my way...... 140 here I come.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I measured today because I couldn't wait for tomorrow. I'll weigh in at the gym and report if there was any loss.

But I am so happy to report that I lost 1/2 inch in my thighs finally!! Only 1/2 inch in waist, 1 inch in tummy, and 1/2 inch in hips. I guess that's pretty good for two weeks. I'm glad the thighs have budged. It has taken 4 months!!

No calorie room for a snack. Don't think I'd be hungry anyways. I went way over.. just have to pay attention to my calories. Really need to focus on staying at 1600-1700. Plus without exercising, I should have ate less. I feel like a bum today. At least we were out all afternoon walking at the park.

Your dedication is very motivating. I just started Keto today and am now thinking of making one of these logs. I'm subscribed so I'll follow along and try to nudge ya away when there is chocolate Easter candy ;) I know I have trouble with that as well. Keep up the hard work!

Yes, I'm very happy. :o I was upset that I gained 2lbs today when I checked the scale and am hoping that it was just some fluke thing. Thanks for the motivation and cheer! I need it! Just hope my cals are right on. Oh, the cauliflower was awesome. I got it in one of these cookbooks. It was like rice but def. a good carb fix alternative.

[bigg_K]

Still very impressive, I do walking Lunges with 55# in each hand, so its almost the same.

I workout with my cousin occasionally (A girl) and she grabs the 10#'s so I think its good. :)

I had this stupid dream that I was over my sister in-laws house. Throughout her kitchen there where tons of sweets everywhere!! Cookies, cakes, anything you could imagine. I looked in the fridge and there were more sweets. It all smelled so good and I was just trying to find one egg or one keto type food. But to no avail. ha ha ha. I woke up and was thinking..."Oh, Thank GOD I didn't eat any of that stuff". That is pretty bad, huh? ha ha ha LOL.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I feel exhausted today. Don't know if its just cuz it's a rainy dreary day or what. Last night I was having this urge to eat sweets. Probably the reason why I had that silly dream. I took 100% unsweetened choc pcs and dipped it into some of this liquid fake sugar. It tasted pretty good and helped me get over the cravings. That was probably an extra 20 calories and 2 grams of carbs but oh well.

Well, estimated, I probably downed 2000 calories. All keto stuff but went well over. I had 2 buffalo wings. Then a nice salad. Then a chicken dish covered with tons of provolone cheese spinach, bacon, and mushrooms. Was very good but really am dissapointed I didn't stick within my calorie range. Oh well.

Nah, still have much more work to do....maybe next month...or the next month after that... LOL! I want a drastic before and after!

Hey I'm of the opinion if you keep it KETO, ala no carbs well then don't sweat it. 2000 isnt' going way over, just consider it a refeed and keep going. Nothing to stress about. If you were to say you pounded 2500, and 50% was carbs well then thats another story! lol

But keep up the good work! I like the consistency, its making me stay on track hehe

That is exactly how I feel. One month into it, I notice small bits of changes but I want a HOLY CRAP, too!!

Well, I guess you are right. I could have easily downed the bread that was served at the table. But am glad I kept it all keto related foods.

Today I did 40 mins cardio alternating jogging and walking. Mostly jogging. I had to sneak and check the scale this morning at the gym. It said 167. WHEW! I lost the 2 lb gain and then 2lbs on top of that!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

My tight fitting jeans are fitting nicely now. I don't have to "break" them in after they are washed and dried (shrunk) anymore. Very NICE!

Today is a "break" day. Really feel like going to the gym but they don't have child watch today. Grrrr. It's a rainy day to boot so can't take the kids for a walk. Maybe it will stop soon.

I just was playing with numbers on fitday and found that I can add more veggies and not bother with my overall carb numbers. I'm going to try and incorporate more broccoli, asparagus, celery, spinach, and various high fiber foods to my diet. This will probably help w/ the output. ha ha. That will be my goal this week.

Yes, they are awesome. Although this one I didn't get to "eat" anything. LOL.

I found the most HEAVENLY desert for me. I cut up unsweetened chocolate (100%) and poured a very small amount of artificial sweetener syrup on it, mixed it up, and oh what a great chocolate fix!!

[nowski1381]

like Konrad said, it's better to go slightly over on your calories than to down 100 grams of carbs in one sitting or something like that. Just started my keto log and will definitely be following yours. Hopefully I can update mine as much as you do...keep up the good work ;)

GUESS WHAT???? I lost another 2 lbs!!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Since I started keto I have lost a total of 11 lbs. I've been doing this since March 6th which would make it 6 weeks. I have never NEVER lost this much in so little time. And the inches....

2 inches off my tummy
1 inch off my hips

Today we took the kids to the zoo. So we were pretty much gone all morning and got home late afternoon. Had to go to the gym after dinner. Too many people there and had to try new things.

Quick question...how do you prepare your broccoli with olive oil and dip...I'm getting tired of just plain ole brocolli...what kind of dip is it?

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I just steam the broccoli then drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil on it. You can sprinkle garlic salt on it or different spices, too. The dip I made was sour cream with a little bit of the ranch packet dressing sprinkled in it. Watch for the carbs. It adds up.

Yesterday I did not do good at all. Funny thing is, when I ate what I ate, I did not really get the satisfaction I normally would.

Really I wanted yesterday to be a eat whatever I want. I've been craving cake for some reason. I had the stupid piece and it was way too sweat. Normally it wouldn't be. Then I had pizza. It really didn't do anything for me but bloat my stomach and make me feel gross the rest of the day. I actually still feel gross this morning from eating that stuff. I couldn't even say how many calories I had. Now I think I got the urges for eating this junk out of the way and am going for another 4 weeks w/ no carb up. If I do have one, it will be clean.

So now I need to get myself back to ketosis. Hopefully it won't take long.

Yesterday's leg workout was:
QUADS - leg ext
12-85#

Hey just kick your bum about the cheat in the gym. Work a little extra hard, and you're doing just what you should be. Just consider it a carb up, and keep goin :)

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Thanks for the support konradac! I did kick my butt in the gym, LOL! I jogged and walked for an hour and 20 minutes.

I did so well yesterday. Then at night I had a huge load of frosting on my fingers from giving a piece of cake to my kids. Instead of rinsing it off, which I normally do, I ate it. Got mad at myself and thought "Well, I already messed up so might as well eat those girl scout cookies in the freezer". Stupid STUPID STUPID. I felt like there were small people on each shoulder arguing about it. ha ha. So now I am starting all over again. Ughh. This is not going to help me. That stuff just went straight to my thighs!!

I am serious I want this more than anything and need to stop messing around!
NO MORE! I promise to stop making a mess of myself and am going to shape up!

There isn't any more junk food in the house. Except for little various things that I don't care to eat. This will be good.

[JavaMinx]

I felt like there were small people on each shoulder arguing about it.

That's EXACTLY how I feel. There's a little Angelic JavaMinx and Demonic JavaMinx arguing over whether I should have some more keto pb cookies at the moment :D And it's only 8 a.m. here!

I love that you can be so positive after slipping up. Kick ass!!

PS: I adore your screen name :)

did not feel like I got a decent workout. I tried to do the straight leg deadlifts but don't think I'm doing it right. So I did the lunges and felt like maybe I should have done more. My legs feel strong, though.

Plus, I did not drink nearly enough water...rrr just tired and want to go to bed so I'm off........

[perkins2099]

I can definitely understand that.

My roommate buys ice cream sandwiches and often has two dozen in the freezer at any given time. I only cave when it's a 'carb up' day but man.. if it wasn't there it wouldn't be eaten.

After all, puring the house of junk food isn't the worse thing in the world for the kids.

Anyway, good job getting back on track!

perkins2099 - Yes, I agree with getting rid of the junk food for the kids, too. Although I'm not the only one buying food. It's only rare when they have junk around so I don't feel too bad. Only problem is that is when it IS around, it makes me weak.

Hi Bubblethighs! This is my first post on this forum although Ive been a member for a while! So please bear with me while I get the hang of it...

Just wanted to congratulate you on all of you hard work and dedication. I found your log a couple of nights back and just wanted you to know that you have inspired me to take the bull by the horns and stop making excuses about my weight (which Ive always tried to justify and blame my everyday situations for!!!), although Ive been into bodybuilding for a couple of years on and off, I never reaped the rewards because of my belly and always gave up like an idiot!
I was eating a packet of crisps and an apple in work yesterday morning and I thought of your log and decided then and there to start a keto diet. I bought some keto test strips, supplements etc. online and about 10 mins ago I tested positive for keto (I tested negative earlier today)!! I tried atkins a couple of years ago but for some reason it never stuck. Think it was the lack of veggies!

Anyway, I just wanted to sincerely thank you for giving me the reality check/kick in the butt, whatever happened, and to remind you that your success (and others like you on this site) is a profound inspiration to people like me. Trying not to sound like a creep here...lol

So keep up the excellent work and hopefully Ill be inspiring others in the future too!!! Fingers crossed....

[perkins2099]

Ahh ok, I suppose that is what makes things interesting!

Anyway.
You mentioned you thought you were eating too much?

I just checked out your weight graph, and it looks like you are averaging well over a pound a week since March.. which i must say is pretty awesome progress. So Congrats to that!

If you haven't run into a barrier I would probably say you are eating just about right for your height.. (BMR basal metabolic Rate) is something like 1,550 per day.

If you aren't seeing the results quick enough you could try and consistently hit that 1,500 mark. You will probably feel hungry and may feel a bit empty though. Or add a second cardio session to cardio days.. maybe a few days do HIIT.

Another thing I started doing is every time I have to do a flight of stairs.. I do it 5x times or more... It's all just a matter of calories in VS out.

Are you carbing up at all? If so what do those days look like?

rlthomas - Thank you so much for this post. This is exactly what my journal is all about. To inspire others that it CAN be done. It's all in the head. Once you've mastered the idea of knowing you are the one who can change yourself, you will be well on your way.

I'm rooting you on! A journal is a great way to keep up with yourself and keep yourself in check. It's is time consuming but it has kept me in check. Everyone has their own knack, though. So whatever works for you, do it.

YOU WILL BE INSPIRING! I know you can do it and you will too. I was in the same exact situation making excuses for the reason I looked the way I did. Always blaming the fact I had no time in the day or because I had kids...etc.

Thank you again for your nice post and good luck to you! I can't wait to hear of your progress, too!

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

perkens2099 - I haven't actually had a "carb-up" yet. Just ate too much on Easter and I think about a week ago. They both have not been clean at all. I'm not planning on having a carb up for some time.

I was going to commend you about still getting a workout in at home. Except I was busy doing cardio...kidding.. :p It can definitely be tough to motivate yourself at home, or if you can't get to the gym to just adopt an "oh well" philosophy. So props on the home workout! And just like you said, do more today. :)

Measurements check in after two weeks:
lost 1/4 of inch in thighs
1/2 inch around hips
and 1/4 inch around tummy

only lost 2 lbs but probably because I ate all that cake
about a week ago.

I hope that's good in two weeks.

so far from start (March 6th), I have lost a total of 15 lbs I think. Awesome! As far as the inches, I don't know if that is good progress or not but at least it is something.

18 more lbs to go!!!!!!!

Thats excellent progress! Even though its only 2 lbs, looks like you still burned some bodyfat due to your measurements. Congrats :)

Keep on going, and wow I can't believe its already been 2 months. :o When You said 2 weeks, I had to go back to the beginning of your thread and check when you started lol

Congrats on the loss!

I love it when you can see noticeable change especially with a measuring tape of some kind. That makes it official! :)

A pound a week is good progress, anything more than that is icing on the cake.. uhh woops. :)

A pound a week is good progress, anything more than that is icing on the cake.. uhh woops. :)

Yes, it is exciting to see results on measuring tape. The scale is nice, too. But I love seeing the measuring tape go down better.

Ughhhh.... the CAKE!! Thank God no cravings yet. If I was superman, that would be my kryptonite! ha ha.


Thats excellent progress! Even though its only 2 lbs, looks like you still burned some bodyfat due to your measurements. Congrats :)

Keep on going, and wow I can't believe its already been 2 months. :o When You said 2 weeks, I had to go back to the beginning of your thread and check when you started lol

I know, isn't that crazy!! 2 months went by soooo fast! If I continute losing at this rate, hopefully in about 3 months I will be at goal! That would be so exciting!

Oh, I meant the progress I made in two weeks was losing those small amounts. I'll have to see in total how many inches I lost in 2 months.

I agree.. its hard to stop at 4 oz of steak or what not. Doesn't look like too bad of a little 'cheat day' :) Did you have a little BBQ?

I'm having steak today as well. I can't wait. Making steak and chicken for the week.

NAH, just felt like broiling some steak and starting snacking on various things afterwards. I think that's pretty high in calories but at least I didn't go crazy on carbs or anything.

Sunday was a bit crazy because my daughter was still sick and her fever was high. So didn't get any cardio in but will just add extra this week here and there. It was an awful day with lots of 3 year old drama.

Went well over my calories today. This seems to becoming a habit and it needs to stop. I guess I felt I was missing out on all the sweets at my grandma's house. I'm glad I didn't cave in and eat any but I still went over calories. Tomorrow will be rough because I'll be going to a Birthday Party. And we all know what's at those things..............ughhh. I hope I'm strong.

I wasn't strong. Cake and ice cream was there and I ate it. I did very VERY good all day. No snacking...even brought my cheese sticks, peanuts, etc. I just blew it on that cake. But luckily I found out about getting into ketosis faster. I fasted until 11am, ate keto foods, and got back in pretty quick.

plus whatever calories and carbs the cake and ice cream was.
I got a very good leg and ab workout, also. Was only able to fit
30 min of cardio in.

Today, I did not get any cadio in. It was a crazy day and things didn't go as planned. So I'm taking this as a rest day. I probably won't be able to get any in Sunday but we'll see. Monday is my back to the drawing board day. But I'm still eating with calorie range and staying keto.

Subbed, looking good so far.

Thanks!!

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Gained two pounds. It could just be some stupid thing like what happened before. Just depressing. I want to meet my goal of 145 by August 1st and it is getting harder. Maybe I need to change up my routine. Will look into it later.

I'm going to stick with the 1700-1800 calorie range for a little while to see what happens by the end of the week. I already gained 2 lbs so what the heck. This will be for 1 week and then I'll go down to 1500-1600 for a week maybe.

So I missed another day of cardio today. I'm very VERY upset about missing Saturday and Monday. Glad I got to work out on my legs. It's hard when you go with someone else and have to leave the gym at a certain time. I really like going by myself...getting what I need to get done....then going home. I feel like I'm being sabatoged!

Probably just some sort of carb/water/sodium weight. I notice when I eat a lot of ham my weight doesn't decrease and sometimes jumps a bit.

Get back on track and keep on going.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Thanks for the boost, Perkins. I needed it. I did awful today. Was going to just not mention it but it's my journal and I have to be held accountable for it.

Did well the whole day. Was very hungry coming home and it was last minute. So I figured I'd stop at Boston Market and pick up some chicken and sides for the family. What did I do wrong, you ask. Well, the sides I thought I would not eat....I did. Then stupid me got the new cherry cobbler desert. I didn't have to eat it but temptation had the best of me today. So I had three servings of that stupid cherry crisp. On top of a belly ache. Tomorrow is a start of a new day. I'm not going to carb up again for two weeks and am solid on sticking to 1600-1700 calories. Did alot of thinking about that. My next carb up will be the "right kind". So as I write a book.... ha ha.

Gonna forget this day happened. I'm fasting tomorrow until after I work out. Hopefully I'll get back into ketosis later that day or tomorrow morning. I've been messing up too much lately and need to get my self in gear.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Off to a new start nad glad I made it to the gym. I spent a half hour talking myself out of going but then got up and put my workout clothes on. So no choice. I need to do this and get back in gear.

Ever buy that Skipp Natural peanut butter? It is very good stuff.. and all natural too... The problem is it is easy to keep eating more and more.. :)

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Perkins - No I haven't tried that peanut butter. I may go overboard with it, and will hold off for a while in getting it. Although I did pick up this smuckers organic natural peanut butter and it was okay. I had to sprinkle some splenda on it because it just didn't taste the way I wanted but am going to stay away from it for a while.

I had a good leg workout yesterday and 1/2 hour cardio but do not feel it today. Kind of dissapointed.

My measurments are exactly the same as 2 weeks ago and still did not lose the extra 2 pounds gained.
Started to closely pay attention to how much water I was drinking and found out that is the reason why I've been hungry all the time. Not drinking enough. Yesterday I made sure I drank a gallon and it worked just fine. So now I'm going to mark how many glasses I have to pay attention more.

When I first started my STRICT low carb diet i would have SO many dreams about eating CRAZY amounts of sweets like donuts icecream loads of BREAD and i would feel like honestly soo bad when i woke up but realized it was a dream!

Anyway congrats on the fat loss!
About how much have you lost now and in what amount of time

Hey there! :D Looks like you're still doing great, I am finishing up school so I've been quite absent. But no worries about the couple of slip ups. And as for routines, yours looks pretty good.

I think doing most of the fundamental workouts like bench, dead lifts, squats, lunges, lat pull down, shoulder press, and then throwing in some isolated workouts where you're focusing on one muscle at a time, and you're golden.

But I think your biggest decision is whether you want to do 2, 3, 4, or 5 day splits. And Push-Pull, or Upper Lower, or what I'm doing is basically breaking it down for every day. Changing a routine is a great way to kick start the body again, and just to keep it guessing. I usually start to wane and plateau when I am doing the same redundant thing for a couple of months.

Keep it up!!

xoloveinautumn - I've had those dreams, too. Ha ha! Especially in the beginning. So far since March 6th, I've lost 14lbs. I noticed some muscles showing but the butt and thighs are still not even close. That's 11 weeks. In the beginning, I was dropping almost 2 lbs a week but now it is slowing down. Making me crazy!!

konradac - Thanks! There are many programs to choose from. Do you think even if you up your weights, your body will still get used to the same program? I've been trying to focus on getting those exercises in you mentioned. I think a 5 day split would help me since I'm at the gym those days anyways. It's just hard to decide which one (upper/lower, push/pull, etc.)

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I'm going to try this out starting Monday. It will be for the next 4 weeks and then change up again. Any advise? Hope this works.

If it isn't difficult to complete your sets and reps you aren't lifting enough weight. By using this mind set you should hopefully continue to gain small amounts of muscle over the course of your training program.
Once it gets to easy.. increase the weight.

I believe your body starts to get used to the same motions in the same order. By changing that and the number of sets and reps it provides a different stimulus. Some people say to change your routine every 4 weeks..

A five day split usually refers to working a different body part each day.
M:Legs
T:Chest
W:Back
Th:Off
Fr:Shoulders
Sat:Arms/Abs
Sun:Off

Upper lower splits are usually the equivalent of a two day split...

Monday: Upper Body
Tuesday: Lower Body
Wednesday Off
Thursday:Upper Body
Friday: Lower Body
Sat: Off
Sun: Off

Push/Pull can sometimes refer to two different types of training:
One way is where you incorporate a pushing and a pulling motion each training day for upper and lower body.. The other is where you split the days up by pushing motions and then by pulling motions.

Lots of options to chose from. Just have to give one a shot and see if you like it or not. :)

I don't like working my muscles once per week.. so a five or six day split is out for me. Most trainees can handle and benefit from working a muscle group twice a week.

Just some food for thought.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Thanks for all the info, Perkins. Reps out to you!! What is your program like?

The program that I will be doing will be working the same muscle two times a week.
M-chest/back
T-triceps/biceps/shoulders
W-legs
Th-chest/back
Fr-triceps/biceps/shoulders
Sa-legs
Su-off
then 30-40 min cardio each day following lifting

It's worth a shot. I def had a tough time finishing my reps on the routine I had now but always did the same order. I hope this new one will get my muscles growing. Every month, I will be sure to change my workout routine. We live and we learn....

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I had to take a day off of cardio today. My legs and butt are so sore from doing extra lunges and squats ( not listed below ). I'm loving the pain! I will make Sunday an added day of cardio. Hubby is working night shift so I will do it at night.

Today was a good day!

I was doing a very similar version to what you posted, and it was good. but I felt burned out after awhile.

What I'm currently doing is a 5-day split, and its nice since I hit every muscle once a week. That way I go in with the mentality to absolutely destroy that part since I know I won't do it until a week.

Mine is . Chest. Legs. Back. Rest. Arms. Shoulders. Rest.

The one you posted looks good too, which magazine did you get it from? lol

[perkins2099]

Seems pretty solid, your arm workouts may suffer because they are the day following a chest/back workout.
If you aren't going to failure you should be alright for four weeks. See how you like it. :)

Mine is fairly similar..

M: Heavy Leg
T: Heavy Upper
W: Off
T: Hypertrophy Chest/Back
F: Hypertrophy Legs
Sa: Hyptertrophy Arms/Shoulders
Su: Off

It's new to me.. so I am still getting a feeling for it. So far I am enjoying both lifting heavy and a lot. :)
Heavy Days I try for 10 sets of 5 reps per group
Hypertrophy days I try for 15 sets of 10 per group

I am also a on a bulking diet now too..

Anyway, glad to see you have a new plan in place. Make sure to let us know how it goes.

Konradac - You can't tell I made that one up myself?? LOL! Just kidding. Can't tell where it's from until I notice results, then I'll "advertise". ha ha. I may get burned out but I need to kick some serious a@@ already!

Both of your (Kondrad and Perkins) workouts sound good and I may be copying soon!!

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Today I weighed myself and surprised to see the scale finally at 160!! 15 more pounds to go!!! My deadline will be August 15th. That is exactly 12 weeks away. I have 1.25 lbs a week to lose to maintain that goal!!

Measurements are still the same. boo hooo!

New routine will break this fat, I hope!

Sunday and Monday were not good. I ended up eatnig drinking yesterday and felt awful in the evening. It all came out in the end. LOL. Today is just going to be a recoop day. I can't imagine jogging or moving around at all. Ughhh.
Wednesday I'm getting back into it full force and working with that new routine.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

My stomach still hurts today. Can't even imagine going to the gym walking on a treadmill. Gonna take it easy today and hold off until I get better.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Same stomach problems but getting better now. I hope to get out to the gym tomorrow and start fresh. It seems like when I wake up in the morning, my stomach bothers me but then it gets better as the day goes on.

The past two days were binging on junk. Nothing to be proud of. Finally realized it wasn't going to stop and ate good today. Monday is the start of working on that new routine.

Hey girl, noticed you're up and down with the calories, I saw couple days of 1,500, how are you doing with the progress? I've been mia, but still taking a peek when I could. Just didn't have time to post. :)

And don't sweat those binges as long as it doesn't happen too often. And depending on what you ate, I'd say it negates your next Carb Up.

Also I've found to stop myself from binging, when I REALLY have the urge to grab something naughty. I stuff my face with broccoli right before, and it really prevents me from doing so. *shrug* Otherwise its just fighting that voice in your head! (or stomach) lol

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Hi Kondradac, glad you stopped to visit.

There hasn't been any progress lately. I guess that's why I'm up and down on my calories. One day I think I should eat around 1500 then decide most days to stick to the 1600-1700. I am wondering if I should just eat at maintenence one week and see what happens. I mean, nothing has been happening yet. Just the gaining two pounds from that week of nonsense.

That's a good idea in stuffing in some broccoli before eating junk. I've been good for almost 2 weeks now and hope to see some changes soon.

if u dont mind me asking, what are ur total losses thus far? or should i say gains!

good job on the owrk so far, ur log is a running journel of what 'real' people are like when dieting not these crazy freaks people hear about

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Thanks for stopping by, kineticwall! I've lost almost 20 lbs in 4 months, I believe. As far as gains, I know I gained muscle but didn't gauge it. I've lost a good amount of inches and see my muscles in various areas.

My weight has been staying the same probably the past 3 weeks. It's been driving me crazy and right now I'm trying to figure out what to do. Just 15 more pounds to go and they are not budging.

Are you on keto/thinking about starting?

Thanks for saying that. I really have some screw ups here and there and feel like "why can't I be like those hard core people?".

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

So today was a bad day. I ended up eating pizza, chocolate, crackers, and tons of junk I really don't care to mention. I really would like one day to actually have a real carb up with the nutritional foods my body needs instead of junk.

Sunday is a start fresh day and will fast until close to the afternoon so I can get back into keto quick - plus throw in some cardio in the morning if the kids let me.

I feel so bloated and gross. Hopefully I got that all out of my system.

My goal is to have a clean carb up.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Started off Sunday very well, but then got a weakness. That ice cream in the freezer was calling my name. It was some strawberry cheesecake icecream and it was tooooooooo good.

Okay, okay... Monday is another day.

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

I've been MIA for quite a while. I've been pretty sick with some stupid cold. I plan on getting back on track Monday. I guess I used the sick excuse to eat whatever I want. Nothing could satisy my hunger either. Oh well.

[bigg_K]

Hey! :) I do the same when I get sick...thats why you DOn'T GET SICK! :p

Hope you feel better, when you're 100% get back and hit it hard again. :)

Any progress #'s or pics?

I'm slacking on my own progress # or pics too. hehe But there has been some...I Just want to get a little tan before I snap a photo...being pale white in mid June is a sin here! :D

Just wanted to stop by and say HELLO since I'm in and out these days. But still keepin an eye on ya

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

It's been awful. I can't get back into the swing of things. I feel like I've failed big time. Eating tons of junk and just can't stop. I'm really going to focus on getting back into it. I feel like crap eating all that garbage.

Thanks for checking up on me, Konradac. You have pushed me to get back into it.

[bigg_K]

its alright...it happens! Just get back on it, before you do too much "damage"! ;)

[BUBBLETHIGHS]

Okay, I lied. Just fell back into the cycle of eating all that junk again. It is hard to get out of this funk this time. Everytime I wake up for breakfast...eggs just doesn't sound right. Maybe it's the heat. Who knows? I noticed that once I started to eat these carbs, my face broke out with a few pimples. Yuck. That's my body telling me to stop eating this crap.

I'm focusing on finishing off Sunday and starting back at the gym Monday bright and early. No more messing around. I know I gained much and there was some cellulite added to my thighs. My own damn fault and I'm really going to make a difference once and for all.

[dude_piston]

Hey bubble,....dont give up ...its ok to fall off track but just get back on and keep your eye on the prize ...You know you can do it!!! we do to! Good luck
