Weight Loss Ideas for Mom's!!!

Good afternoon Peeps!!
So, finally after cribbing & whining about not being able to train for the last whole week, I finally made it to the gym this past Saturday. So far, I’m on day3 and feeling great after a couple of awesome lifting sessions. I’m avoiding deadlifts for this week just to make sure I don’t injure myself more. Like they say, it takes 3 weeks to make something a habit and once it is, you are so addicted to the training sessions that when you are not able to fit them in your schedule your body yearns for it.

Also, since I’m doing something totally new, something I’ve never done in my life before also makes it extra important for me to make sure I can fit in all my training sessions. I feel I need to do this to make sure I’m following the DO’s to the T so I can understand how my body is responding to the changes and make adjustments accordingly. After reading on a lot of material about reverse dieting, I started this past July increasing my calories slowly by modifying the macronutrients. Macronutrients or Macros as they are commonly referred are the most important nutrients we get from the food we eat. There are 3 macros that can impact your healthy based on the consumption amount – Protein, Fat and Carbs.

 Reverse dieting is a process in which you keep the protein intake mostly constant and increase your fat and carb intake while minimal gain in weight. When I started my reverse dieting process, my starting macros were 35F/80C/85P, both on low as well as high days. My macros at the time equaled to 895 calories per day.  After 22 weeks of reverse dieting (& I’m continuing the reverse till the end of this year), 

I have now increased my macros intake to High days – 55F/225C/115P (1855 calories per day) and Low days – 60F/205C/115P (1820 calories per day) with a gain of 2 lbs in the overall process. I have also been training at least 5 days a week, with 1 day being a sprint session and 4 days lifting sessions. So far I love what my body has accomplished and cannot wait to start my cut or diet at the beginning of 2016 to see all my muscle gains I have made during my reverse.

Enjoy the deals for today!!
