GREATNESS!!!

Happy Monday to you ALL!!! Some of you may know that I have been utilizing a ketogenic eating plan to throw my body into ketosis and keep it there. If you are not familiar with what ketosis is do your research, but it is essentially a way to program your body to utilize fat as the primary fuel source versus utilizing carbohydrates. There are some ups and downs in the initial stages and I've experienced a couple negatives but I'm starting to experience some positives as well! For one, NO SUGAR CRAVINGS!!! Sweets are my vice and those are gone, thank goodness! SUGAR IS THE DEVIL!!!  I'm down from about 100 pieces of sugarless gum a day to about 2, which I only chew while I'm in the gym. As I begin to experience more of the changes I will post about them.

Yesterday leg day was BRUTAL!!! I love it!!! My energy was a bit low due to the transition into ketosis but I got through it. I can't dwell on it as it will pass and I will soon have unlimited energy (well that's what I heard). LOL! Some may say I don't need any more energy but what do they know? Back to leg day... Lunges just about killed me!!! I was sweating buckets of greatness. I don't think I have ever sweated that much EVER!!! This is a great sign. My legs feel good today though for the most part. My squats were cool. I  ended up at 245lbs on those and 135lbs on the lunges. The ONLY reason I went there with the lunges is because I didn't want the guys to have to change the weight and I knew I could at least get a couple out (and it was the last set). I ended up cranking out 6 on each leg. The normal flow is 4 sets of 10.  I completed my first 3 sets with 95lbs, which is too shabby if I might say so myself. Overall Leg Day was fantastic!!! You can actually check it out on the D.F.C. FB page (look for Sports Team). There is also some great footage of 3reFit Squatting 495lbd, and my other teammates gettin' in that WORK!!!

So, D.F.C. got some new team hoodies (we all usually wear hoodies in the gym to sweat and to prevent cooling off from the air conditioning)!!! Whenever the hoodies for the team are worn, we get a lot of compliments and questions about our crew. It's really cool. What's even cooler is just being part of the team. Everyone is supportive and provides the push needed to get through those difficult times on the floor. There's also a lot of laughter and hand slappin', which just makes it all even greater! The smack the guys talk on the floor is priceless and I really wish everyone could share in this experience. It's just crazy. Anyhoo! Just know, it's a time that I wouldn't trade for many things in the world. :-)

Well today is CHEST DAY!!! I really like it as I am working on improving my bench press and transforming my upper body (as well as my lower body). Lol. It's hard, but I will be fine. I  have made great gains over the last few weeks and I'm only gonna get better. I'm not benching 3 and 4 plates like others in the crew but I'm not sure if that will ever be a goal of mine. I do want my numbers to increase but not that high. I will be sure to let you know how it goes..

I know I have been slacking with the posting lately and I apologize. Just know that I am busy working on some exciting things (plus working and training) that I will inform you of soon. I will attempt to post again in the next few days. Until then, Love YOURSELF. I mean do some things for you that makes YOU happy or brings you some PEACE. I started my weekly massages again, I'm lovely. No ONE can LOVE YOU, like YOU LOVE YOU, so practice showing YOURSELF some LOVE!
