Week 1 Day 5

I slept in today because today is my rest day from weights. I woke up at 7:30 and felt really well rested. My legs are still feeling it from Tuesday’s leg work out. Throughout the day, though, the no carbs in my system is slowly caught up to me. I made sure to get each meal in when I felt in coming on. You may notice I eat a lot of fats through almonds, avocados, and peanut butter. I cook in olive oil as well, but the fats help to balance insulin levels. When your blood sugars spike it can cause your body to store the excess sugar, which turns into fat. Eating the healthy fats also helps me bounce back when I feel my blood sugar drop and I start to lose energy. So having my meals and fats ready allowed me to get through the day. None the less today was not so easy but tomorrow I carb load. I’m looking forward to it! Tonight Jennie made a great dinner for the family; chicken and broccoli cooked in cream of mushroom, and cream of chicken soup over brown rice. She also added a little bit of cheese because my babies love cheese. As I was dishing it up for my kids it smelled so nice and I was so tempted to have some. But sacrifices today lead to results tomorrow. Or at least that’s what I have to keep telling myself.
Well its hella late and I start my day at 4:30 on Fridays so good night.
