Hello everyone!
I had a realization today. If one were to go Ketogenic, but not eat so much fat, I think it is more like a modified version of paleo- meaning that it's like paleo with dairy allowed and less fruit.
That said, I did a pretty good job of being low carb yesterday, and so far today as well.
Here's a breakdown of what I ate:
Breakfast:
Sausage and scrambled eggs (2 net carbs)
Dark Chocolate think thin bar (2 net carbs)
Lunch:
Hamburger without bun (1 carb)
Salad without dressing
Dinner:
Grilled steak
Salad (no dressing)
It seems like a lot of fat, but the thing is that I am trying to get my body to rely on fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates. I still also like to drain and blot greasy food when I can, even if it is "healthy". I just don't like the taste of grease very much.
I also think eating low carb is possible without eating buckets of grease. The only thing I would still prefer full fat is my dairy. Fat free dairy tastes terrible and it's often loaded with sugar. No good.
That's it for today, going to get some movement in~!
Have a great day!

Tracy's New Baby!
Hello everyone!
On May 21, Tracy Anderson gave birth to her little girl, Penelope. Yesterday, I saw online a picture of the new bundle of joy.

I think she's adorable. Almost a full head of blonde hair too, haha.
Just want to again say congrats to Tracy and her family, and welcome to the world, Penelope!
As for how I'm doing- I checked in my weight out of curiosity, and I gained a little! I think it's water weight because my Aunt Flo is due next week. Also, yesterday I had some crackers so this might be just bloat.
When I get home from work today, I will do my workout as planned. Feeling a bit sore from yesterday especially in my inner thighs.
Have a great day everyone!

Hello everyone!
Today was the bootcamp workout that almost wasn't. Last night, my refrigerator and freezer officially died, so I had to deal with that. For a while I only got my leg reps (25! Yay!) done and my hour of power (walking).
It's pretty late at night and I just finished 40 minutes of dance cardio as well as 25 of all the arms and abs work. I'm exhausted.
I have to get up early and await the delivery of my new refrigerator, and attempt 30 reps of everything tomorrow. Also tomorrow is my last day of 100% step touching. Scary!
Have a good night!

Missed Days, Starting Over- NOT!
Hello everyone!
Unfortunately, my Memorial Day holiday ended up being a busy one. I took my hour long walk, but then I got too busy (and it was too frickin HOT in a place with no air conditioning) to do my TAM. So, Day 2 of bootcamp will be done today.
I was thinking of doing day 1 again but I have only been off for 2 days, not an entire week.
According to Tracy's Facebook page, there is a note about missing days. It says it's for Metamorphosis but I am pretty sure it can apply to the book workouts as well since they are also on a 10 workout rotation.

Pictured: My mentality yesterday.

"Once you start Metamorphosis it is really important that you understand all of the gifts it has to give come with you making it part of your lifestyle. This would mean that the only time you stop would be for a week max if you were sick or something in your life didn't allow for it to happen for a short period of time. In that case you should pick up right where you left off. If for some reason you fall off for longer than a week repeat the sequence that you completed before you took the break to get your body moving again with some memory before the next level. If longer than a month of a break happens start at the beginning."
So, that means for today, I will be attempting 25 reps of each exercise and 40 minutes of the step touching. The workout after next, I am asked to add jumping into it. I'm afraid I won't be able to, but there's no way to know unless I try, right?
Have a great day everyone!!!!

Happy Memorial Day!
Hello everyone!
First, Happy Memorial Day to all of my American friends and readers!
Yesterday, I didn't do so good.
The day started good- Woke up, had canteloupe and 2 hard boiled eggs, Steak and salad for lunch. I also powerwalked for an hour.
Then disaster struck- I came home RAVENOUS. We're talking eat the whole house ravenous.
The previous night, my roommate had picked up some breaded boneless buffalo wings and offered me some, which I declined. Yesterday, they ended up in my belly. All 10 of them. Today, I saw that I had gained 3 pounds and am having tummy troubles (bloating, etc). Today, I am going to keep my eating very light. I had some fruit and tea for breakfast, planning on having soup and salad for lunch and dinner. And, of course, LOTS of water.
I also didn't do my TAM yesterday, but will today. Not starting over, doing Day 2.
Have a happy, healthy safe Memorial Day!

Day 1 OFFICIAL Boot Camp Start!
Hello everyone!
A little check in here!
Today I ate the following- (I am not following TA's diet plan, but going gluten free and mostly grain free as well.)
Breakfast:
5 slices of very crispy bacon.
Lunch:
Salad with butter lettuce, a light drizzling of Italian dressing, some steak strips and some pieces of onion.
Dinner: (I was kind of bad here, went to see Men In Black 3)
1/2 bag of large popcorn (no extra salt or butter) and diet coke. This is a HUGE improvement- normally I would salt and butter the hell out of it and eat the whole thing. Also, the theater did confirm that their popcorn and topping is gluten free. (Aside from possibility of being in the same truck as gluten, which I am not too worried about right now)
Also on the right- There is a Myfitnesspal.com badge to show how many pounds I have lost since my initial stats. I will not measure my body until my boot camp is DONE. Every 10 day measurements will be taken when I begin Metamorphosis after this.
So, how was my workout?
I did day 1 sequence 1 with 20 reps per exercise. I am about to do the dancing part of my workout. I will be following the moderate beginner plan (which I am afraid MIGHT be a little too fast- after 3 days she will have me be jumping, but never know until I try, right?) because I can "walk but not run"- I walked a solid hour at a good pace yesterday and got a good sweat up.
And yes, I will do my best to do the workouts EVERY day. It's only a month and I really need to not cop out. Yes, one day at a time, but the daily workouts is a goal I would like to attempt to achieve.
Have a great Saturday- See you tomorrow!
