Slow Carb Week Two...

I have mixed feelings writing this post. Week 1 was great. I lost 4.5 lbs, 1.2% body fat and 5 inches all around….

That was until cheat day came along….

Lord and behold I had an awesome cheat day. I had dominoes I drank I did it all. I went back to slow carb that Sunday but cheated again during the night. I fell through the cracks... Shit happens... But what I did not expect was to gain 5 lbs that I had so called lost.... I am super bummed but I am going to continue the journey. Hopefully by Friday I'll be back down and will not cheat so much on Saturday...

#grinderglamchallenge Day 16: Treat Yourself Tuesday..I am so happy I got my #fitbithr 👏🏼😍 it really puts in to perspective of how much I am moving. I noticed after work I barely made any steps.. So I got off my train exits two stops before and walked home. Then did my #reconstructionbyleti Leg workout 👯.. Holding the wall sit was so hard with a dumbbell! But that's the treat to myself.. Puttin' in the damn work!!! 🙆🏼💪🏼🙌🏼 #treatyoself #LetisVeteran #putinwork

My Slow Carb Meals for the Week....

[junkfoodpolice]

First Day On SlowCarb....

Today is my first day on the Tim Ferris Slow Carb Diet. I have done this diet about a year and a half ago in the past for a month, and it truly worked. My Stomach was the flattest it had ever been. I fell off the bandwagon because I didn’t have enough variety or ideas.. But now, since I do eat more veggies, This should be much more simpler. I am also taking advantage of the 2 glasses of red wine per night deal. I am still doing #reconstructionbyleti as well. I am a veteran so I will only follow the workouts. Its month one for me, year one with Leti so i look forward to what this year will bring. 

So whats on the Menu for the Week 1:

Eggs with Lentils & Guacamole (poached or sunny side up)

Turkey Jalapenos Poppers with a side of Guac

Turkey Bacon Turkey Meatlof with mashed Bean-Tatoes & Spinach Medley with Turkey bacon & onions

Beef & Bean Chili

11:18 AM- I ate my breakfast around 9:15 AM..Not exactly following the rule of eating right when you wake up because thats when i usually do my workouts. I eat when i get to work. So far I am soooo full….my stomach hurts and water seems to be helping. 

1:30 PM- I am so happy my lunch tastes good. I can feel my stomach filling up again...I am definitely full but still have some more to eat...

4:15 PM- Time to eat my snack...and i am FULL... Pretty much done with my gallon of water soon...But i must say the food tastes great so far! I could get used to this. Lets see if I can handle 4 more days of this food!

#grinderglamchallenge Day 11: It takes Heart ❤️ to wake up everyday and put in work.. 💪🏼 Whether if it's following your macros or dietary needs🍓🍴 to making sure you hit that workout daily 🏃🏼🏃🏼 It's not an easy task. We are constantly resetting ourselves daily to try and try again to be OUR very best... 💕💕💕 The bottom middle photo is me this morning after a grueling workout. That's most of my days.. 😁 No exciting obstacles or fancy machinery. Just me, the DBs and the mat with @leti_reconstructed guidance. But because of those "normal"days, I have come out to do amazing things 🙆🏼🙆🏼Going cross country to jump over fire with #teamgrinderglam 💚💜💚💜 and doing runs with family & friends, racing in mud, loving medals ☺️😊. I look more forward to the adventures and what is to come, because at the end of the day it takes the WILL and HEART to continue this #fitnessjourney #RECONSTRUCTIONbyleti #LETISVETERAN #spartanbeastintraining #roadtotrifecta #fitfam #transformationthursday

My first 10K- In 30 degree weather

So on December 21st as a challenge to myself I decided to run my first 10k. My bf did it with my as well as his friends. It was an awesome and invigorating experience. I had no idea how strong I was! I kept my pace and felt like I could have gone longer.. I did not time this race because I wanted to just "test the waters", but the feeling of crossing the finish line was AMAZING.

I hope to do a 15 k and a half marathon next! =D
