Well, I decided to place a journal here to keep track of everything. I'm definitely not as interesting as ya'll, and I'm waaaaaay far away from being anywhere near what ya'll are working at. But hey...gotta start somewhere!
A little history on me...
My name is Kelsy, I'm 26 years old and have 3 kids...(7yrs, 2 1/2 yrs and 10 months old) and I am nowhere near what I could be. I had my first baby at 19 years old and was a single mom. I had been in dance my whole life and of coarse wanted to continue that career. The only way I knew how to get in shape was starving. Well just like high school, what started out as a "fad diet" turned into an obsessive controling factor in my life. I thought because I was a single mom nobody would ever fall in love with me and I was fat blah blah blah! 3 years of this disease and I was sick as could be! If I did decide to eat something..an actual meal one day, the digestion of it was killer. I was on the ground puking and screaming in pain because my body had pretty much decided it forgot how to deal with certain foods in my stomach. So my parents said if I didn't do something about it...they would. So weighing less than 100 lbs at 5'6" I decided to get counseling. That in itself did not help but I had a great guy at my side. Finally I got myself to 130 and felt comfortable there, but the mentality of the eating disorder never went away.
Then I married my husband and had our first child together. Since i didn't know how to eat healthy I ate everything! I got very heavy and delivered him at 190lbs! I was miserable and looked like it too!
When my son was 7 months old I had cancer and got very sick. Once I recovered from that I had been in remission for 2 months and became pregnant with my daughter. I delivered her at 180.
I lost weight in the first couple of months and got down to 160. And looked better than I do now in my waist which can be my problem area!
SO thats where I've come from...This is where I am now!
2 weeks ago I started the Cut Diet. Marc has been working with me and has figured out a plan for diet and exercise. My start weight was 184.6
I am currently at 177.8 which put me at a loss of almost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. See my progress pics below!
I am currently not working out at least for a week because I had a partial tear in a ligament in my lumbar (lower back). So I am on directions from the doctor not to do much. But I'm trying and the back brace is really helping. In case you were wondering why I injured my back...well my dumb ass was walking downstairs with a 2 year old and 10 month old in my arms and I miscalculated the baby gate at the bottom and fell. Kids are ok...I'll be ok soon! Dumb baby gates! I swear that gate has had it out for me for a while now. But I didn't go down without a fight!
Anyways, here is my diet:
Meal 1
3 whole eggs and 6 egg whites
.5 cup steamed Broccoli or green beans or 8 oz steamed asparagus
6.5 oz Grapefruit or 99 g Blueberries
42g protein, 20g carbohydrates, 15g fat
Meal 2

Meal 4

Total Calories ? 1915 Calories NON-carbohydrate night
Every 15th meal is the Carb meal. It is the last meal and it replaces Meal 5. The Carb Meal must be eaten in this order.
1) 1.5 cups steamed green beans or 12 oz asparagus = 15g carbohydrates
2) ? cup oatmeal (measured dry then add water and microwave) = 45g carbohydrates
13oz Grapefruit or 198g Blueberries: 30g carbohydrates
2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter = 15g fat
3)10 oz sweet potato = 75g carbohydrates
2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter = 15g fat
