If I can do it, you can do it.

FINALLY, THANK YOU GOD AND HIIT!!!

I haven’t updated in so long because I couldn’t break my 130lbs stall. I jumped back and forth between 130 to 133lbs since my last update (3 months ago). It gets tough, specially when you’re having emocional and personal issues.

I recently started doing HIIT and I’m officially down to 128lbs. FINALLY!!!! I went down to 129lbs a couple of days ago but I didn’t wanna get too excited so I decided to wait. But now I’m officially in the 120s!

I’m still eating between 900-1100 cals a day, I eat until I’m full. And of course, I’m still doing KETO, eating normal, no fat fasts or egg fasts recently.

It's been a while since my last update because I went for a trip to my home country for a whole month.

When I left I weighed 134 lbs, when I came back I weighed 139 lbs. I gained ~5 pounds and that's okay, as a matter of fact I thought I gained a lot more than that because I didn't eat keto food nor "healthy" food when I was there. I did, however, didn't eat a lot. I ate of tortillas, fried chicken, ice cream, brownies, cake and a lot of carbs but kept my calories kinda low, I didn't track them so I wouldn't know for sure, but I'm guessing that was it since I didn't gain a lot of weight.

I did retain A LOT of water. My feet and face were very swollen. When I came back (2 weeks ago), around two days later, I went back to keto and started drinking a lot of water, I went down to 133.4 lbs the week I started. Meaning that I weight less than what I weighed when I left for my trip a month and a half ago. I've cheated a few times, but I've tried to get back into ketosis for good like before but i'm stuck in 133.4.

This week I'm going to do a fat fast, then an egg fast to reach the 120s! Then I'll keep eating normal again.

The importance of taking photos. 

Left picture taken on April 13, 2013 at probably my highest weight (around 210-220 lbs) and right picture taken today, October 11, 2014 at 149 lbs.

Same shirt (I had to tie it a bit on the back in the after pic because it was TOO loose and huge), different year and lots of pounds lighter.

On the 2013 picture, I wasn't even thinking of losing weight. It's unbelievable how things change.

La importancia de tomarse fotos.

La foto en la izquierda fue tomada en Abril 13 del 2013, pesaba como 210-220 lbs. La foto en la derecha fue tomada hoy, Octubre 11 del 2014, peso 149 lbs.

Es la misma playera (tuve que agarrarle un poco de atras porque me quedaba super floja y grande), diferente año y muchisimas libras menos.

Antes que nada quisiera pedir una disculpa por tomarme tanto tiempo en actualizar mis resultados oficiales del Egg Fast que hice hace un par de semanas.

En mi última entrada escribí que perdí 5 libras (que bajé de 155 a 150lbs), pero después de regresar a mi comida normal de Keto, subí 2 libras (152lbs), para ser justos, era lo que esperaba así que no me sentí sorprendida o decepcionada. El perder 3 libras en 5 días no está nada mal, sigo muy feliz!

La semana pasada hice el Egg Fast otra vez, esta vez por 4 días y baje de 152 a 149lbs, y esta vez me quedé en ese peso aún despues de regresar a comer "normalmente"!! Creo que el hacer pesas ligeras (dejé el cardio) por 15-30 minutos al día me ayudo bastante con eso.

Estoy extremadamente feliz de que al fin llegué y pasé mi meta! Llegar a 150lbs, literalmente me hizo llorar, jamás creí que iba a ver esos números. Es un número bastante alto, pero solo estoy a 25lbs de mi meta oficial: 125lbs! Y llegaré a ese peso muy pronto :)

Empecé el Egg Fast hoy por tercera vez y pienso hacerlo cada semana por 4-5 días hasta que llegue a los 130s, despues de eso solo lo haré si me quedo estancada en un peso por mucho tiempo.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for taking so long to update my results on the egg fast I did a couple of weeks ago.

On my last post I wrote that I had lost 5 pounds (went from 155lbs to 150lbs) but after going back to normal Keto I gained 2 lbs (152lbs), to be fair, I was expecting that so I wasn't bummed about it. Losing 3 pounds in 5 days is not bad though, so really, I'm still happy for that.

Last week I did the egg fast again, this time for 4 days and I went from 152 to 149 lbs and this time, I actually stayed in that weight after returning to my normal Keto food! I think doing nothing but light weights (ditched cardio) for 15-30 mins a day helped a lot with that. 

I'm extremely happy that I reached/passed my first goal! Getting to 150lbs literally brought tears to my eyes, I never thought I'd see those numbers... ever! It's still a pretty high number, but I've never been closer to my main goal: 125 lbs! I'm only 25 pounds away and I'm gonna get there soon!

I started the egg fast again today and I'll do it every week for 4-5 days until I reach the 130's. Then I'll do it if I ever hit a stall.

Edited this post after a long pee (sorry if TMI)

I didn't make a post for day 4 & 5 because I ate the same things I ate in day 2, The only difference was that I added one egg last night, so I ate 7 eggs yesterday. And I officially added 1 cup homemade Sugar Free Jell-O as a snack.

Verdict

Starting weight: 155.8 lbs (October 23, 2014) Today's weight: 150.6 lbs (October 28, 2014) For a total of 5.2 lbs lost in 5 days! Not bad at all! It really works! I hope I do keep it off, though, some people gain a few pounds back once they go back to normal keto eating, some people lose a bit more. I'll update my HK scale on my tumblr once I weigh myself tomorrow. I'm back to normal keto starting today, I'll do the Egg Fast again next monday.

_________________________________________________________

No hice un post para los días 4 & 5 porque comí lo mismo que comí en el día 2. La única diferencia es que anoche le agregué un huevo a mi menú, comí 7 huevos en total. Y tambien le agregué oficialmente 1 taza de Jell-O sin azucar hecho en casa.

This will be a short post since I'm eating the same things I ate yesterday, I only added a couple of those small Jell-O cups (no sugar added) to my menu.

I did however, wanted to say that I lost another pound!! 

Yesterday's weight: 154.2 lbs Today's weight: 153.1 lbs Which means that I've lost a little more than 2 pounds in two days. I'm planning to do it until I reach 148lbs, then I'll go back to eating normal keto food.

Until tomorrow everyone!

Tomorrow I'm gonna start an egg fast to finally break into the 140's! I've been stalling AGAIN and I hate stalling for weeks until I lose again. I know it's pretty normal, but I really want to get to my goal weight by february. I'm only gonna do it for 3-4 days, depending on the results. I'll be posting here what I eat and at what time. Wish me luck!

__________________________________________________________

This is a 3 month & 11 lbs difference between photos. It took me SO long to lose those 11 pounds because I kept cheating and just not eating right. I also wasn't counting my calories like I was supposed to, and I was simply overeating. I didn't lose the weight until September, when I started counting calories again and working out almost everyday again. 

I'm posting this because look at that!!! 10 pounds really does make a difference! My arms were definitely chunkier and my waist was a lot wider. This is what's great about taking progress pics, it makes you not only see your progress but it motivates you. So my advice to you all is: take LOTS of pics! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hay 3 meses y 11lbs entre las fotos. Me tomó TANTO tiempo en perder esas once libras porque no estaba comiendo del todo bien. Tampoco estaba contando mi calorías como debía y en fin, estaba comiendo de más. No perdí ese peso hasta en Septiembre, que fue cuando empecé a contar mis calorías de nuevo y empecé a hacer ejercicio todos casi los días como antes. 

9 month difference in the photos. But remember, I started Keto in March, so really, I've lost more than 50 pounds in 6 months, which is not bad AT ALL. 

Everytime I get discouraged I like to compare photos. I'm still far away from my main goal, but this just made me happy and it makes me want to keep going to get to my goal.

In other great news, I'm FINALLY out of the 160's. I'm now in the 150's! (159lbs) and it feels amazing. I was stuck for so long but I did a fat fast and lost 6 pounds in a week. I'm back to normal eating to avoid future stalls. That's all for this post, thanks for reading. Until next time!

_____________________________________________

9 meses de diferencia entre las fotos. Pero recuerden que empece Keto en Marzo 2014, así que en realidad, bajé más de 50 libras en 6 meses!

Cada vez que me siento mal y siento que no estoy avanzando me gusta tomarme fotos y compararlas con fotos viejas. Sigo estando lejos de mi meta, pero ver esas fotos me hacen sentir tan bien y me hacen querer seguir hasta conseguir mi cuerpo deseado.
