LCHC UPDATE

Update: Clean Eating got me no where, I realized that I have a problem with my blood sugars. I decided to go back to LCHC diet and the weight is starting to come off. I dropped closed to 3 pounds on my first week. I haven't worn this skirt in almost 4 years. I could finally get it on. I still need to loss another ten pounds in order to reach my goal. I'm older and my body is changing. I'm now, never hungry and I have to much energy. It's always important to listen to your body and not what some experts, only you know your body not someone else! I do miss fruit but a few berries seem to be helping.

 

Going Back To LCHP diet

I tried eating clean for the past 6 weeks, I still look the exact same. The scale hasn't change and neither has my measurements. I'm starting to think that something isn't right with my body. I did Keto diet back in October and I looked "HOT". I decided to stop doing that diet because I ran into some roadblocks and I freaked out. I ended up bruising really bad which I think my big problem was not getting enough protein. So, I'm going back to Keto diet and see how it goes. If the weight comes right off than I know my answer. I was border line GD with my last pregnancy and I think my body is just older and doesn't process sugar and carbs the same way anymore. I really enjoyed eating clean but no amount of cardio or working out was causing me to lose fat or gain muscle. I could barely see any changes, I did feel better but it's not enough. I still need to lose the last ten pounds. I still don't want to be super skinny. I have been working on this since Jan. I do feel stronger but I'm not losing any weight at all. I did finish my half marathon, I felt strong but I didn't lose any weight from it. I usually slim down when I'm running, which is another red flag that something isn't right. So, I'm going to eat as few carbs as possible and see what will happened. I predict that I will drop 3-4 pounds this week alone. I just need to stay strong.

Clean Eating-Update!

This is the year 2016, I'm going to finally get ripped and get down on my body fat. I haven't had any luck in losing the last bit of baby fat. I have increase my calories and decreased my calories. Nothing was working. I have realized that if I restrict too much on my calories, I would end up bingeing big time on junk food. I would be prefect for a couple of days and go crazy over the weekends. I found a program called Simple Clean Eats. I'm finally figuring it out. I tried to go on the Lean program but I need more calories. Too low for my active lifestyle. So, I did the Build and Burn program. I started to gain too much weight but my workouts were awesome. I felt so strong but I still had a ton of fat on my body. So, I decided after much thought and prayer that I need to do something in the middle of Lean and Build program. I'm sticking around 1800 calories. I'm down 5 pounds so far this week. I was up 144pounds but this morning I stepped on the scale and I'm down 138lbs. My mine goal is 132lbs which is my pre-pregnancy weight from Leilani. I'm learning to trust my body. This is big one. I stopped listening to my body. Just following some random weight loss program, just doesn't work in the long run. Here's what I learned and applying it in my life. The weight is dropping off. I really feel that by the end of April, I should be at my goal weight.

2016 NEW YEAR GOALS

New Year Goals

About five years ago, I lost about 25 pounds in less than 90 days. I have been trying for the past two years to loss that much with no success. I'm not sure how I lost my way but it wasn't from lack of trying. I used to be able to run three days week and the weight would pretty much just come off but no more. I hurt my knee back in 2011 and I don't run as much as I used to. So, I'm now going to bootcamp three days a week, I'm lifting at home and trying to get back into running or HIIT! I'm all over the place. I can't seem to stick to one program. I feel all over the place.
I'm stronger than ever before. I have spent the past couple of months bulking and now I'm going to be focus on leaning out. I have been trying to get rid of the last 10 pounds of baby fat. I keep getting close to reaching my end goal and I end up gaining all the weight back on. I feel like I have a good amount of muscle on me and it's time to shed this fat off me.

Here are my macros:

CUT

1500

120 Protein
140 Carbs
51 Fat

BULK

2160

135 PROTEIN
70 FAT
248 CARBS

I'm in the process of cutting. Bulking was a ton of food especially over the holidays but I feel like a fat sausage. I started at 140 pounds and my goal weight is 132. 

Starting weight as of New Year 201a6
