Gym Lycan

I have arrived into this summer season sideways and with a screech.

I’m nowhere near where I was meant to be, and have had a three week carb binge – driven mostly by stress and depression. I’m heavier now than I have been in a long time.

Then one morning, early before sunrise and the kids woke for school – I lay there, opened one eye and looked at the cupboard where my resistance bands were stored. “Fuck it.”, I said and got up.

Half dressed, I laced up my running shoes and…. no not ran, but queued up a resistance bands workout on YouTube. There are many.

…. the next day … the same. Then I took my blood sugar reading, and out of pure shock – crash fasted. I cut out sugar completely. The next day bread. By day 4 all high glycemic foods were out – only that which my children still eat – and I had more trays of eggs than any one person should. One raw cabbage. One packed of spinach. Butter. REAL Butter.

In my fridge right now:

– 24 eggs
– Raw Cabbage
– Baby spinach
– Avocado
– Everything else is for the rest of the house. If you cant resist not eating whats in front of you…. Anyway.
– There is also coffee, and “skinny cocoa” powder. Stevia sweetener when budget permits.

In the last 48 hours, I’ve had 4 resistance bands workouts. I’m on full ketosis protocol and will start fasting again today.

You must understand – its not about the goal, it’s the journey that matters.
