Well, I broke my 13 day streak.
I found out Thursday morning that my ex-husband, and father of 2 of my children, was in a terrible car accident. I was terrified that I might have to give my girls some very bad news that day...he was in surgery and I really had no information on his condition. It was bad, he rolled his vehicle multiple times going 70 mph. You have to be pretty lucky to survive that. And he did, thankfully. Needless to say, I wasn't really focused on exercise that day.
So I skipped Thursday. But I was back at it Friday. Did my lower body #2 workout and ran 30 minutes.
Saturday I did upper body #2 and ran 45 minutes.
Sunday - Easter Sunday...and I rested. But I also took my 3rd round of measurements.
I am SO HAPPY to say that the results were awesome again!!!
Sunday 4/4/10
weight: 113.8 lbs (started at 118.8 on 3/15/10)
hips: 36" (lost an inch in 2 weeks)
thigh: 20"
waist: 24"
belly button: 25"
bodyfat: 15%
If you compare those results with last week, I went down in weight, and size. I'm on the right track! This carb cycling is REALLY doing the trick for me! My only concern is that my lean mass is still showing a bit of a drop. I'm going to have to start to eat more on my high carb days I think.

Body stats
It's Friday, and I've done miraculously well! OK, maybe it's not miraculous. But it is my determination, my drive that has gotten me through this week. And every day that I continue to follow my premeditated steps to goal, just motivates me more. Because every day that I follow my carb cycling rules, every day that I give 110% with exercise, every day I'm able to pass on the cakes and pizza that everyone else is eating, is a success! It's the small successes we make every day that add up to the BIG success that we want to achieve in the end.
When I'm on the treadmill after I've already spent a half an hour training my legs, I tell myself "I might just do 20 minutes and THAT'S OK! Because I'm not an all or nothing girl, every little bits counts." And then I hit 20 minutes and I can go 10 minutes more. Because I have a positive frame of mind. An I CAN DO attitude, that pushes me through.
It feels great. I feel great! This is what it's all about!
