Just a little update on my 10 days.
So, after my initial 10 days ended, I did another 10 days. I followed the diet completely and did my walking workouts more often than not, and I lost 2 additional pounds.
That puts me at 6 pounds lost since March 23.
So I figured I might as well keep going and decided to do ANOTHER 10 days. So far, I'm 6 days in and I'm fluctuating around 1 pound lost. I say fluctuating because in the last 3 days the scale has been doing up and down things and it hasn't settled on a number yet but I feel confident that I'll end the 10 days down more. I HOPING for 2 pounds but I'll honestly be happy with any amount because, sadly enough, this is the most weight I've lost since I can remember.
What have I been doing? I've been following the diet about 99% of the time. I've been eating grain, dairy, white potato/starchy vegetable and sugar free. I say 99% because I have allowed for a tiny bit of honey to be used in a recipe I've been making the last 2 weeks or so. I also just started eating sweet potatoes to help keep my carb count up. Believe it or not I have been having a hard time eating ENOUGH carbs. Never thought I'd say that. Overall, as time goes on, I am NOT finding this hard at all. Well, at least for right now I'm not. All I know is that I'm so happy that something seems to be working that I'm more than willing to do this for however long it takes.
I've also been going on walks every week. I'd say about 4 days a week I'll do a very fast, moderate effort 30 minute walk. Just to give you an idea of intensity, they are usually with hills and require some effort. It is not, however, the hardest workout I've ever done in my life. My next step workout wise will be adding in some circuit training (think 30 day shred kind of workouts). I'm hoping to start that either today or this weekend.
And that's it. April 21st will be day 10 of my current cycle. It will also be day 30 since I began. I'll let you know what happens. My goal is 8 pounds total!
