good call! i never thought of that.
well, my carb up this time went much better. i started at 6 on friday, and stopped about 9 on saturday. i ate the following things:
krusteaz fat free fudge brownies with low fat vanilla raspberry sorbet (SO EFFING GOOD!)
mac n cheese made with fat free milk and no butter
chinese food (is this very fatty? i didnt eat anything deep fried, just rice and spicy chicken, etc)
cookie crisp with fat free milk
sushi rolls (1 g fat per roll, i only had a few)
waffles with the tiniest bit of butter (probably a tsp total) and gallons of powdered sugar
thats about it.
my depletion workout prior to this: well, it was 90 degrees out, and our gym doesnt have air conditioning. so after 10 reps of whatever, i already want to puke. my plan was to just go around the gym 3 times, hit every machine, and do a set of dead lifts in between each loop. well, i did the first loop, pretty balls out, and then my first set of dead lifts (85 lbs), and immedeatley had to lay down on a bench and try not to projectile vomit. ugh. so i took it easy for a few minutes, and then started my second loop. when i got to the dead lifts....i just couldnt do it. i started the 3rd loop, and got a little over halfway thru (didnt do any leg or ab machines on the 3rd time thru). i was WASTED. i felt sick, shaky, and completely exhausted. so im hoping that means i was depleted, even tho i did less than my usual depletion workout...the one before that i did 3x around, plus 3x10 hanging negs and 3 sets of walking lunges with dumbells. hmm.
anyhoo, i think im finally starting to see results. my monthy intruder is gone, so on friday before the carb up, i could really determine what was happening. so i decided to weigh. in the afternoon, which i usually dont condone.
135 LBS!!! YES! i was shocked. i thought since it was the afternoon, i was at the tail end of my period, and i was gaining so much muscle, that i would be like 145. HOLY LORD. i was pumped.
so i continue with the cycling. i do feel much better about the 24 hour carb up tho. i hardly ate anything sunday (yesterday) so as to get back into ketosis faster. judging by my poor husbands reaction to my breath this morning, id say im there.
something i wasnt so excited about: yesterday my family and i did some boating on the lake, to which i wore a bikini. thinking i was pretty cute and small, still tooting my own horn about 135 lbs, i caught sight of myself in a mirror on one of the boats. i looked terrible. please tell me this is just a result of bloating from the carb up the day before...
