Meat, Eggs, and Mountain-Climbers!
As of a few weeks ago I've been on a high fat low carb diet. The total opposite of what I was doing before. I feel like I live on meat and eggs. Well, cause I do lol! The more I do the more I see just how your food can effect your everyday life. Not just in the time it takes to eat or make it or the energy you may or may not have but in the overall way your brain works.
Week one was difficult just getting adjusted but the little bit of dairy that I was now allowed gave me something to look forward to. However as my body adjusted I could feel my mind adjusting two after a full week I was irritable adjusting to the lack of strength and energy, I began to notice that my outlook was a much less sunny one and before week two was over I just about had an all out meltdown. THANK GOD I have such amazing support from friends / team mates and Roger and Debbie. I NEVER realized the HUGE effects that such a change can have on you.
I stuck with the new diet and once I made it through my mini melt down it seems things were (and still are) on the up and up again. I feel fantastic!! I have that sluggishness from time to time but I have a feeling that this high-energy two year-old of mine may have a little to do with that. :) Now that my focus has been redirected more on the leaning out than the building I get to do more of the interval style training than I did before. I may be moving less weight but i'm moving it further these days and it feels fabulous! Here's a little taste of one of my mid-day work outs this week... Just having fun!
