Skinny Fat to Fit Diaries: UPDATE Keto and Insanity

It has been about four months since I started my fitness journey to go from flab to fab, and I am for sure loving my progress. The number on the scale hasn't gone down as drastically as it would for someone with more weight to lose, but my clothes don't lie. The definition on my body is real, and I know I am moving in the right direction. 

After finishing T25, I took a week to get out of the monotony of videos and just hopped on the treadmill and used my at home workout weights. Because I wasn't as strict, I decided to move on to Insanity. I am currently on my recovery week between the first and second month. 

In regards to my diet, I am still going strong with Keto. Although, I have been a little crazy lately. My husband and I drank a whole bottle of FitWine a couple weeks ago, and then I had a few glasses Sauvignon Blanc the next day. Then I went out for lunch the following weekend, for the first time since starting Keto and had California Pizza Kitchen's cauliflower crust pizza. Only half but it still had a lot of carbs.
 People think Keto is only for those obese, but it is working well for me, and speeding up my progress, making me strict about eating, and helping me recognize my faults.

This week I actually went back to school. Just taking one class 3 days a week, but I am trying to get into a new routine, so I have kind of slacked and missed a couple workouts. I also haven't been adding the treadmill how I'd like to. Since it's recovery week, I'm not being too hard on myself, but I need to step my game up this coming week.

This is what my weight graph is looking like. It fluctuates around a new low, hangs around there for a few weeks and then drops again. I mainly weigh on Mondays, so after my snafus the last few weekends, my body will be holding onto water come Monday.
And here are my picture comparisons. I cannot keep mirrors clean for the life of me. Tiny handprints always make their way to them. Also, I moved my mirrors around so I can't get the exact angle anymore.
The first picture was taken after the end of T25.
The second picture is 10 days later, and Day 8 of Insanity.
The third picture is about 20 days after- Day 29 of Insanity.
I will be taking better pictures and angles that are better comparisons. I just haven't been taking as many pictures lately. I will also be doing my third Fit Test this coming week, so I will update on that progress as well. 
Keep reaching for ALL your goals. They are attainable, but take sacrifices. Don't let your rock slide down that hill!

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
