9/13/13 WEIGH IN

So this is my first weigh in since starting this blog last week.  Since then  I have been pretty consistent with the goals I have set for myself.  There have been however some slip-ups but overall I would consider it a successful week. One thing that I will expand on more later is a way of eating change that I have decided to give a try.  This I do not consider a "diet" as I will not be taking any magic pill or take any extra supplements, it is just a way to change up the way you eat.

Several months ago I was talking to a friend of mine and was discussing the wall that I had hit.  He asked if I had tried Carb-Cycling, which I had not nor did I know anything about.  At the time I didn't give it much thought, though it had seemed to work for him.  Fast forward several months, I had began watching a TV series called Extreme Make Over: Weight Loss Edition and this Carb-Cycling idea was brought up which jogged my memory of my previous discussion.  The short of the long is that you alternate High & Low Carb days through your week to rev up your internal furnace to burn more fat. (More on this later).  I have done this now since last Saturday and have also only missed one cardio day in the past week.

So I mentioned that I would post my weight each Friday as it reads prior to working out that day.  This morning you would have thought that I was on one of those TV shows about to weigh in on live national television, I seriously had butterflies in my stomach.  My thoughts were that this is my first weigh in and this will have to go on my blog and what if I didn't do enough.  Well I took a deep breath, then exhaled because I am sure air weighs something, and stepped onto the scale:

SUCCESS!!!!!!  I did not fail, What a relief.
