Good morning, fellow STACer's!! Starting the morning with the belief that I can catch up at work today!! UGH!! Yesterday was horrible and hoping to get lots done today to get caught up! Have a great, on plan day!!

Good morning STACer's~~make this the best day you can! Feeling good & have 3 days cheat free under my belt. In ketosis & the scale is going down!! Have my lunch packed for work & my H20 bottles filled.

Gotta love ketosis, I feel like I had a brush with it last night. No keto sticks in the house and yet I know the signs of the buzz.
I was buzzed for certain yesterday on Green Tea, if it gives a buzz, it's what I added to about 64 oz of my water, and man I had the best day.
Down 8lbs from this working out schedule I'm keeping. Ventured to the scale for the first time. My fat loss monitor should arrive soon.

Body composition, the percentage of fat and lean muscle is so much more important the pounds lost. I'm sure most of mine is water weight at this point.
I've been reflecting on being sedentary and life on the couch at 235 pounds and now, almost 3 years into a very active, fit lifestyle. Nothing compares.
Early in my Atkins journey I struggled to get to one half hour of exercise. The second year, I exercised but not intensely and I was afraid of pain, this year, I push it into the pain zone with weight and aerobically constantly. Pain no longer scares me.
It's a new phase of my long winding road journey and I am there with it.

Keep your focus, keep working at it, right where you are, and it will take you to new places.

PAIN SCARES *ME*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!

Here is the link to something just like I ordered, at Amazon
Amazon.com: Omron HBF-306 Body Fat Analyzer: Health & Personal Care

You plug in the numbers they ask for and you hold it out at arms length, and it sends a current through your body and based on how long it takes to get all the way through gives you your Body Fat percentage. All the health clubs use it.

I want to lower my body fat, build lean muscle and do endurance sport. Body fat percentage is far more important to me than what the scales say. Having less body fat and alot more lean muscle will change my metabolism. Muscle burns calories, fat is inactive material.
I've lowered my 2% since I started. I wanted my own for future clients.
I am going to teach my clients how to lower their body fat, and be healthy.
I never used one of these until this past week. All part of the fitness Gym world.

Hi !! Checking in this Tuesday morning, and have finally gotten a little break. I spend most of my days at the nursing home with Dad and going to Mom's. So, I am not finding the time to get my exercise in or eat as much as I should. I'm maintaining, but still have 21 more pounds to lose. There is a track across from the nursing home, and I've made up my mind to start using it while Mom is with Dad.

Everyone have a good day!

Happy Tuesday STAC'ers!

Yesterday was pretty good. I managed to get my plants planted and the tree (ouch those needles poked me). Emily and I went to see Teriminator.

For dinner I made a disaster of beef meatballs in curry only I screwed it up royally. Now I have a lot of meatballs that taste pretty gross. They will be tossed out today.

Jess I love green tea. It does have a little caffene but the difference is that is a longer lasting caffene. It stays with you (so you get more for less)... If that makes any sense?

Have a great day STAC'ers!
