Greetings my Best Buddies!
It's been a strange couple of days - I have kept my net carbs low but found myself craving carbs. Sort of a weird feeling...typically I would crave if I had indulged - but I didn't. It is probable I felt the need for more carbs to meet my needs at the gym...but now the feelings have passed! Whew!
CURRENT GOALS: March/April
* Idiot Box consistent weight of 165 by May 6
* Bodyfat at 27% by May 6 (last reading 27.9%)
* Macros consistent: Average 65%-70% fat, 23%-26% protein and 9% (or less) carbs, with NET carbs always less than 20 grams daily
* Consume more fiber within the daily carbs macro
* Continue to lift heavier at gym – increase reps on heaviest weights
* Continue HIIT during cardio work
* Do the “crab” move by May 6 – I know what this means
LONG RANGE GOALS: 2016
* Bodyfat at 25% or less (24%)
* Idiot Box at 153-158 (85-90lbs lost)
* Increased strength and flexibility

I <3 that you call it the idiot box :D

I'm soglad the feeling of wanting carbs passed. You have probably put your finger on the problem, your body needed the energy from carbs to better perform at the gym.

As I'm reading the comments, I kept accidentally switching "carbs" and "crabs" around... So I kept reading it as craving crabs! Ah, if only we all craved crabs instead of carbs... We'd all be in better shape :)

LOL @ jessberry! I love crabs, and they fit the plan! LOL.

Good for you resisting the carbs. Craving carbs...craving crabs...sounds good to me, I love them both. For me my desire for carbs is in the mind, I just want them sometimes. Period. But best not to open up Pandora's box. :)

I don't find it strange to crave carbs. Good for you for sticking with your plan. Now I want Red Lobster...

I checked it out...unbelievable! Instead...I did go to Red Lobster last night. Got the shrimp and lobster tails on ice with a side of green beans with roasted tomatoes. I'm building up to try the crab too! Lol

Funny, Lobstermania at Red Lobster. I been trying to get over there for a week. I am really jealous, Phil. First it was Golden Corral, and now Red Lobster. Please don't post pictures, promise?
