Day 5 of a Combo Keto Diet/ Juicing

So I switched things up a little and am doing something called Keto Dieting. I read up on it and have seen results from my cousin. It sounds really bad because it tells you to load up on fats and cut carbs, so we'll see if it works for me. Read up on Keto dieting for more info. I don't go all out on the fats, but they do suggest sticking to dark meats like beef, dark chicken, etc as they contain more fats. Instead of your body burning carbs for energy it will be burning fat. Fat burning fat, who woulda known! lol. I've also been in incorporating a workout that I found on a website called simplyshredded.com. Here is what I am doing for my workout:

Also, I just started juicing today and I will be doing the Mean Green Juice as stated in my first post on Juicing back in 2011 :) . Drinking it brought back beautiful happy memories of the journey that got me to lose 40 lbs. And I feel very motivated. I do as much walking as I can during the day at work, drink plenty of water. For breakfast I'll have a couple hard boiled eggs, maybe throw in a protein shake. Lunch is a salad with eggs, tuna, olive oil and vinegar and maybe some dark meat if available. I'll have a second salad a couple hours later. For dinner, if there is no dark meat available then I will just juice. I will try and just juice, no solids every other evening after my workout. I also take 2000 mg of Vitamin C and a Multi Vitamin, as the Vitamin C will absorb all the nutrients from the juice and Multi Vitamin. So far I feel pretty good. I was very active at work but got tired towards the end of the day. I was able to rest for a little when I got home and then took my dog out for a walk. I did do my own leg workout today but followed the areas to work on from the workout list. I was really wiped out today to go to gym and it is important not to push ourselves if we are tired, we must listen to our bodies. If it needs rest, give it rest. It will tell you when it is ready.

Check out this picture I took at work today of some Turkeys runnin around. Looks like Turkey season starts next Saturday, the other dark meat..lol
