Body By Vi: 90 day challenge

I received my order from Body by Vi, and I started it yesterday... the shakes are very yummy and very filling. Definitely worth the money. I use them for replacements for Breakfast and lunch and I have a healthy snack in between my meals (all still low carb). I would say in all I am doing well. After doing Low carb I am back down 5 pounds (240) I'm still working on getting back under 240- which was just a few short weeks ago that I was... But for some reason I fell off the wagon and gained it all back! I love the shakes, and I love the low carb way, the only thing is I'm kind of missing fruit strangely enough. But I am working my way up to Phase 2. I have one more week of induction, so I am hoping for maybe another 3-5 pounds during this week. Sunday starts week 2, so I am also going to get in my exercising routine's as well.

I cleaned an area of my basement today. I think it looks fabulous and I turned it into my gym area. My goal is to see if I can get down there very early in the mornings for at least 20 minutes, and of course keep using my gym membership, which I haven't been using.

March is hitting in just 5 days. I don't know where the time has gone. I have My biggest loser challenge weigh in coming up next week, so at least I'm confident I will be down some for that. I also have monthly measurements coming up on March 1st. Hoping to see some differences, but if not- it's my own fault, and I am back on track.

I have a lot of errors with low carb though. I may eat as close to 20 carbs as possible, however I'm only staying in "Trace" ketosis... I really never get any higher than that though. I should probably go for more protein, but I KNOW for sure I definitely overeat in my caloric intake. I should be trying to stay between 1500-1800, but I know this past week I've gone over, and thats because I do a lot of mindless eating in front of the t.v. During the day isn't so bad. When I'm in class, I'm not so much tempted to run to food at Tim Horton's in the cafe area, or to the vending machine. It's when I'm home, I can't keep myself from snacking and eating. I eat at night too, and the worst part about it, at night I am not even hungry. I just eat BECAUSE i can. I downloaded an app called "panic button" and you hit the button and its a 15 minute timer that time's your craving or need to eat junk. I'm going to see if that will help me. They say it takes less than 20 mins to get over the temptation to eat. So hopefully it will work for me. I'm pulling out all the stops this time!

I'm still working on drinking plenty of water, but it's 50/50...some days good, some days bad. I'm working on it.
