Skinny Fat to Fit: T25 Week 6 & Keto Diet

So last week I felt so defeated. It was Week 5 of T25 and I weighed in at 130, my starting weight, after dropping down to 127. Now, I know weight fluctuates by a few pounds and I can see the progress on my body, but I still felt so discouraged.
Well, I continued with T25 anyway, and drank more water than I had on the weekend. I weighed myself a few days later and lo and behold, I was back at 127.8.  I did miss Tuesday's workout due to lack of motivation, but I added it to the next days and I've been back on track since. Actually I missed this Monday's too, since my little one was sick, but again, I added it to the next days.
So my husband and I have been talking about the Keto Diet. He brought it up months ago that he wanted to try it, so I've been reading about it and watching videos on YouTube and such. We finally decided to start it on Tuesday, so we are currently on Day 4.
I don't feel deprived of food. I don't feel the need to snack. I miss fruit the most though. I've started T25 Beta this week and to be honest I'm a bit underwhelmed with it, even though I did it years ago and should know what to expect. The bright side though, is maybe I shouldn't be overdoing it right now as my body is getting used to this low carb eating. Here's some keto lunch ideas:
Buffalo Chicken Tacos
Ham and cheddar cheese on Romaine Lettuce, a little mayo spread
Lettuce wrapped burger, 80-20 Beef, onions, avocado with a side of bacon wrapped jalapeños filled with cream cheese and cheddar

Well, I've been weighing myself more recently lately, even though everyone says NOT to focus on the number. I've found that I hit my lowest weight in the middle-end of the week and my highest at the beginning of the week. I imagine it's because I don't drink as much water on the weekend and we go out to eat or indulge. Hopefully that won't be the case this weekend.
Anyway, today I have hit a NEW LOW!
125.4!

WOOO!
I actually haven't seen that number in a few years. I'm going to continue and see what my body does and if it can handle this very dramatic change. Fingers crossed!!
**UPDATE: Day 6 on Keto, still 125.4 even though I've started my period. I am LOVING my body right now!

Skinny Fat to Fit Diaries: T25 and Keto UPDATE

Image
So, it has been a few weeks since I checked in with my T25 progress and Ketogenic Diet updates. I'm happy to report I AM STILL on track to finish T25 this week, as I also celebrate my one-month-anniversary on the Keto Diet!! Week 1 & 2 of the Keto Diet, my energy was down. I was so tired. I could not successfully keep up with just T25. Where I was adding treadmill or weight time after T25 some days pre-Keto, I just did NOT have the stamina to do it. I honestly thought I was burned out and wouldn't be able to finish T25. The 3rd week though, it was like a new burst of energy came over me. I was killing these workouts!! I did slack a tiny bit on T25. July 4th week, my 3rd week on Keto, I skipped my T25 for the 4th and the following day- you know, just spending time with my family instead. And because Fridays are my double T25 days, I didn't add those workouts back in. Week 4 on Keto (the following week, which is also this past week) I felt I had even more energy! I

Before/After T25 pictures (Results)

Guess who completed T25 this past week! And it only took 10 weeks!!! You know... the actual length of time T25 is. I wanted to record my before and after T25 pictures and stats because I think it is AMAZING!! Also, keeping in mind that 5 weeks into T25, I started the Keto diet. I am wearing the same pants, which I haven't worn in a while, because honestly, it is HOT here and I need to be in shorts. Also, they shift a lot during my workouts because they are too loose now!! I find myself pulling them up often.  I'd also like to point out, these are a size Medium. 8-10. All of my workout clothes is older and a size small-ish. I bought these after having my daughter because I didn't want to bring myself down further by trying to squeeze into these size small workout clothes. That would have set me up for failure! But now, it is a great measuring point, popping out "muffin-like" to having to pull them up!! What is my weight looking like? Well, take a loo

T25 week 5: weigh in

Image
Okay, so the first 2 weeks of T25 were going great. I was motivated, I didn't have any eating slip ups. I felt stronger each day. Then I went out of town... Actually, that was at the end of week 2. I packed my lunch and dinner and picked up a low-er cal option from McDonald's (egg mcmuffin). It was an overnight trip,  14 hrs there, sleep, go to a quick ceremony, 14 hrs back. Well, it started off great, and then there, I met up with my husband who I hadn't seen in a couple months. We decided to order food in and I super binged and it was so good to have so many carbs again!! On the roadtrip back... fried chicken . Not to mentioned I skipped those 2 days of working out. The following week, even though I woke early to workout, I was sick and couldn't put my all into it. And I wasn't adding extra workouts. I had been doing at least 2 treadmill jogs and one session where I pretended I knew what I was doing with weights. Week 4 went a lot better! Gave the workout
