So 500 calories/day was not that bad. Well, ok maybe it was...I got REALLY sick of eating just meat. I broke down and ate cottage cheese just for a different texture. I DO NOT like cottage cheese period! LOL!!
So here is my success for week one. Drum roll please...I lost 7 lbs! 4 of those pounds were fat! WHOOOHOOOO!!!! Not to shabby!
I am SO excited to see some kind of results. After all this time, after all of my struggles, I have something I should be proud of.
So the next part will be fairly easy. I will move my Calorie intake into the range of 700-800 cal/day. Keeping my carbs UNDER 30g/day. I get to add some healthy welcomed veggies, some dairy, and good heart healthy fats. The point is to KEEP my body in Ketosis. I will continue to burn fat and keep working out and taking all of my vitamins daily. Nothing really changes, except the fact that I can have a little more added! Still VERY high protein. I really feel so much better with eating this way anyways, so it should not be that hard.
I should keep loosing weight, but more at a pace of 2-3lbs/week. Who knows, maybe I will still continue to loose 5 lbs for the first couple of weeks. We will see! I just know if I continue to feel the way that I do, I will reach my goal faster than I ever thought possible!
You know what is funny?? We went out 2x last week to eat. I did AWESOME!!! I cut part of Jory's steak off for me to eat, and I went to Cheesecake Factory today and had 3oz of Salmon and about 2 oz of shrimp. It was yummy! There was even bread on the table and C had ice cream. Temptations, temptations and I resisted!
So anyways, I know that I can do this and I will be so proud (already am) of my self when I reach my goal!
Ya'll will be asking where D is! LOL!!!

Good job handling the temptations - those are the worst! Enjoy those yummy veggies! Excited for you! Make sure you're staying mentally centered though and don't let this become psychologically unhealthy. This is about loving yourself and wanting to be the best you and be healthy.... not about ... I don't know....something bad... you know. okay! woo!
