Hey All,

So I’m sitting here in a bit of disbelief as I just hopped onto the scale, ok so slowly stepped onto it as I really didn’t feel like I lost weight this week, but to my surprise yup it dropped, not going to say by how much just yet cause I want to tell you why I didn’t feel like I lost any weight and the reason for it.

I mentioned that I switched up my ratios a couple of weeks ago, taking in more protein and less carbs/fats.  Well in the last week, even just the last 4-5 days I have felt heavier, strange to say that but yes that’s the only way to explain it, so going into my weigh in I really didn’t think I would have lost anything.

Here’s the reason for it, the added protein is packing up my muscles big time and I do feel fuller, yes heavier.  What is going on is my body has truly become a fat burning machine.  My muscles are filling up but my face has slimmed out and for the first time in a long time I see definition through my mid-section.

Protein is your key to burning more, fat!!!  If you took 100 calories of protein and 100 calories of carbs and ate them of course, the protein would take 25% of those calories just to digest and utilize those proteins, and the carbs only 4% to digest and utilize.  Yup that’s it, now remember carbs are good so please don’t go taking them out of your plan as I have seen that and the result is no weight loss.

You need a balance to your meals.

Quick Tip: Include some protein in every meal of your day, even your snacks.  It’s what I do and the results are showing that the balance is paying off!

I have been saying all along that consistency pays off, and yes it does, but let’s also remember that this is a science of sorts.  I am not looking to make this a hard process for anyone as I don’t need a hard process for myself to follow but when it comes to putting it all together you need certain things in place to make it an easy to follow system.

Yeah I know your waiting for it, so what did I lose?  3.6lbs yeah I know pretty amazing that my progress hasn’t lacked but is picking up speed and I am 5 days away from it being the 60 day mark of my first weigh in.

Until Next Time

Hey All,

So it looks like the changes I made in my ratios, by increasing my protein to 45%, dropping my carbs to 35% and dropping my fats to 25% worked and worked very well!

A loss of 2.4lbs when I weighed in on Thursday 2/9!

In the last week though I will be honest, the temptation is starting to kick in, it’s been 8 weeks and with no treats, I will not have anything get in my way that would keep me from hitting my ultimate goal.  I have another 20lbs or so to go.  That’s just an estimate as I’ve done this before and know what my body looked like at 225.

I will not give into the temptation, no way, no how.   Kinda funny, I was at my mother’s house picking up my son last week and as I was on my way out the door, now mind you this is the same day I weighed in and found out I lost 2.4lbs, she offered me an ice cream while I was walking out the door.

Ummmm yeah no I said, she’s a sweet little Italian women, who would do anything for you and well if you are familiar with little old, Italian women they feed you, until your blue in the face! Lol

I’m being extremely consistent with my meals, my workouts, my cardio which has improved greatly, I don’t feel as winded.

You know I can’t say it enough, consistency is the key, but it doesn’t have to be boring, my workouts are different day to day, and each week.  We switch it up between the studio and the gym so different atmospheres.

Find things that are fun to you and you’ll find that it won’t feel like work!

Until Next Time

Hey All,

My progress has been great, a bit slow moving as I am starting to feel but truly it’s only been about 7 weeks or so.   I feel that I should be seeing more than what I am but like I tell everyone it’s a patience game and one that you have to be willing to stick with.

I can’t get all crazy as the results I am starting to see are well worth it.  The body is changing and I’m down a total of 10lbs I lost .6 when I weighed in last Thursday Feb 2^nd.

I feel that my weight loss last Thursday was so little, but I also changed my ratios the previous week where I added more protein, less fats and adjusted my carb intake.

The added protein definitely left me feeling a bit more full which is great but my body just hadn’t caught up to processing it and so the weight didn’t come off but as of right now I feel that light feeling again as the body has caught up to processing the protein and yes I’m eating the equivalent to about 10 chicken breasts per day!

Sounds like a lot but I’m getting it from different sources throughout the day like, protein shakes, chicken, meat, fish, cheese, milk, fage yogurt….etc…

I feel that this week will be a good weigh in, and the body is really starting to take shape so my patience will be my best friend through this…..

Until Next Time
