Well...okay, we are going to call today as a starting fresh day. Up two pounds this morning, grrrr...So I learned some things this week. I need to make sure and record my food BEFORE I eat it, otherwise it turns out like yesterday at 40g carbs, not good. I have been relying on how easy the Keto diet is for me since there are so many foods I like and not paying that much attention to portion sizes. That needs to stop. I also have found some delicious treats that I need to only have once in awhile instead of whenever I feel like it. Atkins coconut chocolate bars are like crack at 10g carbs and not meant to be eaten daily :). I also had my complimentary fitness assessment with the new gym yesterday, epic fail. I am "below average" or "poor" in all of the strength tests. 4-pushups, 45 seconds sitting on the wall, 130 pulse after 3 minutes of cardio, 44 seconds doing a plank, so yeah, all below average and 8% visceral fat. The good news is doing so badly is huge motivation to get my body in better shape, so I will be hitting the gym no less than 3X a week. Of course the trainer also recommended that I work with him at least once a week to the tune of $65.00 a session but that won't be happening. I will look in to the option of having a session once every 4-6 weeks to see how my progress is going but I'm not willing to part with $250.00 a month of my spending money. Since hubby is back on his fast I don't need to cook dinner for a few weeks so I will throw some intermittent fasting in as well to get back on track.

Good for you for readjusting! Don't look at those gym numbers as a fail. I'm sure they set those numbers at a level that shows you need the gym. These as simply your base numbers, just like your weight and measurements are base or starting numbers. Try to remember that you can't gain fat in a short amount of time, so that 2 pound weight gain is all that other "stuff". 😊 You've got this.👍 Go team M&V! 🎉

Not an epic fail, it's a starting point. You're doing great and before you know it, your numbers will be right where you want them!!

you will get things back on track quickly on the diet end, the exercise thing, I was probably in worst shape then you and it took me a long time and I honestly hated it, but eventually I built my wind first then got going on my upper body. All I can say, is to start as slowly as you are comfortable with. It really does take time to get those muscles going. I used the cardio to build up my wind/breathing. lighter weight to start those muscles going. It is better to be comfortable with what you are doing then to hurt yourself and slow your progress.

Lots of trial and error - most important thing is that you are trying! Best of luck with your new plan

This is a learning process and will take tweaking to find what works best for you. I would definitely measure and track your food until you’re more comfortable with what you goal macros look like and logging food before you eat it is always a good idea. Don’t get discouraged! You are heading in the right direction! Keep going!

You are actually doing great. Those trainers are just trying to make money by trying to make you feel like you are about to die without their help :)
