Yeah, you're fine. Trans fat is the stuff you want to avoid. Sat fat is fine. You diet looks good though so i wouldn't worry too much.

I've become such a gym rat that even if I'm not lifting, I need to get in atleast an hour so cardio will have to do!!!

working til 2:30 this AM... thinking of actually lifting after work instead of running because tomorrow I'm working 12:30 to 9 so may want to sleep in... or maybe the morning energy will make the day go by faster?? I'm starting to re think it and just go tomorrow...

well see how I feel after work today...

kind of craving some chocolate but know I cant ...

[mgalli921]

Found some cool Keto recipes and tried out the fudge one and the icecream one...

Looking back on the fudge one, I just can't get over all the fat in a stick of butter I mean 88g F and 56g Sat Fats... I know it's what this diet calls for... but just seems like a lot, with 0 carbs however... maybe it's ok?

Icecream was a lot simpler, so not worried about that...

I didn't over do it tonight, but I had a few extra spoon fulls of peanut butter of course bc it's my absolute favorite... and had 2 pieces of real chocolate

I think I'm going to count tonight as my cheat night and skip my carb-up tomorrow, I'd rather it this way because I narrowed down my cheat to a maximum of 3 hr window, instead of all day, which is HUGE for me...

Also I'll see how I feel tomorrow, after the "Keto Fudge", feel like ****? never again if not we'll see when tomorrow comes...

didn't get to run tonight slept all evening, but tomorrow I will lift extra heavy for my little "cheat"... I mean haven't cheated since starting so no worries (hope)

One last thing... I don't feel "guilty" I used to feel so bad for having a piece of chocolate, but I just had 2 pieces and was done so that's another strong point for me...

well sorry for the story

back tomorrow!!!

[mgalli921]

Ok... woke up this morning felt a little "too full" for my liking (the peanut butter did it, always does, should've just had what the recipe called for and not the extra, but I learned)

but still looked good and felt good

hit the gym real hard early on because I have work all day and felt so good. Had such a rush of energy and was so into the lift. Started off with a 10 min run to warm up... felt good

After I still wasn't very hungry from last night...
had my shake
dextrose
flaxseed
potassium
and fiber

today was my "carb up" day but after feeling so full from last night I'm going to skip it and try something different and take myself out of ketosis for the day by just eating high proteins/ no carbs/ no fats and see what happens

I forgot to mention this morning was I HARDCORE in ketosis I had a taste like I was chewing on batteries... no joke... I even had to ask my gf multiple times if I was bleeding from my lip or something it was that strong...

But I mean I guess that's what happens, I ate a lot of the fats last night so it was working...

Going to the gym before work was def. a power move because my 12-9 shift will go by faster now...

back later!!

[mgalli921]

So just got some fantastic news...

Got a call back from a police department and I'm heading up March 4th for a physical... man am I excited

Physical includes
Push-ups- 29 in a minute
Sit-ups- 38 in a minute
and a mile 1/2 run under 12 1/2 minutes

I've never been so damn excited and can't wait to do it!!!
Going to focus my training mainly around this... even though I know it should be a walk-in the park I want to make sure I ace this test

Can't wait!!!!

[mgalli921]

Made some turkey for dinner
had almonds
and finished up my fudge from last night... stuff is too addicting probably not going to be making that again for a while...

finishing off the night with some diet cola and green tea.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
