Hi Tricia! I am wondering if you ever found out for sure if the 'reaction' you had actually came from the carb-overload. I am guessing this is what it was because I had similar reactions to carbs. (as you already know ) Hope you feel better today. You are looking Spectacular!!

Well, I must have been tired. I slept until almost 7 and am still sitting here hoping my coffee moves me to get going to the gym Got this weeks plan from Alex. WO's will be the same and the whole week will be no carb. Which I am perfectly fine with. We both feel that I look better and feel better on no carbs. I have more energy on my no carb days too. Go figure. Im sure they will get put back in, but not this week Sunday it is...wish the weekend was 3 days. TKD takes up my entire Sat, so I really only have 1 day to be at home to get stuff done. Who wants to petition w/ me for 4 day work weeks? Hi Tricia! I am wondering if you ever found out for sure if the 'reaction' you had actually came from the carb-overload. I am guessing this is what it was because I had similar reactions to carbs. (as you already know ) Hope you feel better today. You are looking Spectacular!! Hi Joan. Nope don't know what caused it, but it was bad. I could hardly move b/c the symptoms were so weird. Scary for cure. I didn't have more than I normally have on my carb up, but think it was from a different source. Don't know. I am gonna shrug it off unless it happens again.

Here is what I'd like to know....how do you maintain your weight eating those amounts? I am eating twice what you are and struggle to keep my weight steady, if I run I drop, if I don't run I don't gain and I am miserable ... ? This is sooo frustrating. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for anyone that can do it, but I'd really like to figure it out for me. Sorry for the rant. My motto is "I've eaten and I can't get up", lol..

It is not magic as Tricia said (THANKS) It is the kinds of foods that you have at certain times of the day The body is a Machine that needs different things at different times of the day. if you make sure that you give it what it needs at those time you will not need to eat as much and close to nothing will go to waste

High carb day and no weirdness! I did ditch the pasta and just had plain old oats! Scared to eat it again, but tempted to see if that is what caused my symptoms the other day. Been having difficulty sleeping lately. Up around 2:30-3. Not noticing any major fatigue though. Feeling good on the diet. A bit hungry at times, but nothing terrible. Sorry if I have not been around to visit everyone much. This really has been a very hectic week. Loads going on. Just trying to keep a good balance and get everything in. It has not been easy, but I am managing. It is times like this when I really wish hubs was home just to help out w/ the running around. Today's wo. Back and bis Back and Bis today. Really focused on squeezing! Had to make a few equipment changes due to the crowd, but got a good one in. Rev Wide Grip Pull downs 70 x 10,10,10,10 Close Grip Pull downs 65 x 12,12,12,12 Wide Grip Pull downs 70 x 10,10,10 Dumbbell Pullovers 30x 12,12 Low Cable Rows 65 x 12,12,12 Barbell Curls 40 x 8,8,8,8 Cable Concentration Curls 25 x 12,12,12,12/arm 20 min of stepper... Yesterday was just double cardio. Tomorrow is back to no carb and shoulders/tris and more double cardio Nice detailed log, keep up the good work! Thanks!
