"Wooo!" Another successful diet day. Today is day four. I know I am going to stick to my low carb diet today, because I have no intention of failing...
I have decided to have two weigh days each week. That way I know how I'm doing for my weekly weigh in on the Saturday. If I'm doing bad on Tuesday, it gives me the incentive to try harder for Saturday...

| 1 lb of fat... That is quite a lot of fat... I know, its spread thin over your whole body, but that is still pretty impressive, still better then 0 lbs of fat or worse 'gaining' fat... |
Sooo! I weighed myself this morning. "Wooo!" I lost 1.5 lb after 3 days of eating 20 grams net carbs. If I was exercising I would have lost more, but first I'm improving my breathing. Low carb eating always improves my breathing & my general health. So does eating gluten free & healthy eating. Just cutting out the processed junk improves my breathing...
Dieting is definitely a mind thing. If you tell yourself its hard, I hate dieting, I can't eat such & such. You are setting yourself up to fail. If you tell yourself 'this is easy' 'I love eating this way' 'I can eat whatever I want as long as I count it...
I was reading up on carb cycling. I might look into this. Basically you eat low-med-high {er} carbs. Exercising more on the higher carb days. At the moment I am eating 20g net carbs {Carb grams minus fiber grams}
I won't be doing any extreme weight lifting on high carb days, but I will be doing more exercise then I am used to. Change gets results. So I will keep on increasing the length & intensity of my exercise, also doing different activities. Like digging in the garden, squatting & bending to weed, etc. Or going for a walk. Just moving is exercise. As long as I keep on building up...
