Workouts are better than ever
Lately my workouts have been better than ever! I’ve been getting a lot better at running and can actually do 40 mins on the treadmill non-stop. I’ve also been doing intervals which have really helped my endurance. Even when I was skinnier Icouldn’t run like this. My boyfriend says I’m looking better.. he’s an ex-Marine of 7 years and crazy fitness enthusiast so I’ll take his word for it.
My birthday is a week from tomorrow. I’m excited to be 20 finally. I don’t know if I’ll make my 5 pound goal by then but I’m hoping. I started the Atkins diet yesterday, I thought since I love carbs and always eat them all the time, that maybe a very different change for my body would produce some results. So I’m hoping my weigh in on Saturday goes well
So far I haven’t been that hungry which is great for a diet haha. I think the extra protein is doing me well.
Have a great week everybody!

Hi, if you have always loved and craved carbs, and you are hungry on Atkins, your methabolic type could be actually more compatible with the low GI type diets, when you eat frequent meals, and get most of your calories from carbs. You might want to check both out for 2 weeks or so, and see which one keeps you more energized and feeling better.
good job with the running! keep it up!!
that’s fantastic with the running girlie! Intervel training is tough… nice one!
And Leida’s right about the diet too. Sometimes you have to shop around for one that suits you, that doesnt zap your energy. But give each diet 2 weeks before you decide whether or not it’s the one for you.
Thanks guys! This morning I felt really dizzy and tired and shaky and I’m almost never sick. I think I’m just a carb person so I had a piece of toast and I feel better. I decided I’m going to modify it a bit and just not eat carbs at lunch or dinner. Just a little for breakfast.

It’s probably a good idea to keep the carbs in your diet, they give you energy to go through the day and you need them especially if you’re working out.
Great job with your workouts!! You’re doing awesome!
