One week of an attempt at induction
Two weeks of Atkins Induction
One week of Schwarzbein Principle
Total weight loss-5 pounds
Inches Lost-3.25
I'm glad that I switched from Atkins to Schwarzbein Principle. Sp works for me and my activity level. I can adjust my intake to account for my level/length of activity. I also like the whole foods aproach. I'm not following her program perfectly but I'm doing the best I can. I have my daily cup of coffee (water processed) and an occasional diet coke. I also have chocolate, a little bit (dark, expensive) every other day or so.
I'm exercising better than ever. I use my treadmill and hand weights and do a lot of floor work with my exercise ball. I'm working on getting my weight bench set up this weekend. On a daily basis I average 45 minutes on the treadmill (3-3.5 mile pace at an incline of 6-10%) I also hike twice a week up our local mountain, elevation 1500 ft, three mile round trip. I take our dog, Lucy with me. I also walk her at the lake five days a week but I don't really log that, it's for her. I also go out on a long run on Saturdays with my running group. Last Saturday we ran/hiked for 20 miles. I use power gels and Gu (carbo replacements) as needed to maintain my energy level. I don't overdo, I use what I need.
My first race of the season is a fifty miler here in San Diego. www.lostboysultra.com I'll take it easy on this one as we want to run the first 50 and hike back to the start for the second fifty. This will take 30-40 hours to complete the entire 100 miles. The first 50 we'll run in about 12-13 hours, then we'll shower, eat and start back. The second 50 will take the longest. It should be quite the adventure.
I feel good about what I'm doing for myself, my moods are better and I sleep like a ton of bricks! It's been a tough start of the year (hubby had motorcycle accident, he's recovering nicely) and I am grateful for this forum and all of the wisdom of the senior members (and you know who you are darlings!). I plan on staying the course one day at a time.
Regards,
Maureen
