It is great to see some more people join our little group! I am glad I am not the only newbie asking questions!
To answer the carb question:
I don't count carbs, just limit them. I am certainly not on Atkins induction or anything...though I probably should be until I get my sweet tooth in control. After trying very low carb my first week of BFL, (this is week two for me) I found my energy was lacking. Now I give myself a little extra carbs, mostly before working out. Weightlighting seems to be going better now. Of course, I must add- last week I was getting over a nasty kidney infection, so my loss of energy might not have been related to my very low carbing.
Emily,
Thanks for answering my question. You are truly amazing. You have set such high goals for yourself (and you reach them too). Sometimes, I think I am too easy on myself.
UBWO went great tonight!!!!!!!! I got all of my tricep work in. WOOHOO!!!!
I was mentally prepared to do whatever it took to push through, and it worked! My arms are still shaking- which feels wonderful because I know I worked them hard.
Tomorrow I HAVE to do my LBWO since it is the only day I will be able to go to the gym. Has anyone ever had to do weight training two days in a row? Am I going to set myself back a lot by doing this? I just figured it would be better to at least do it two days in a row, then only once this week.
