NO MORE EGGS!!!

My goal this weekend is to eat NOTHING egg related that is not thoroughly disguised in some fluffy, floury, baked good of some sort.

Seriously... when I'm done with next week... I am going to go back to a REGULAR low-cal ballanced protein/carb diet for about a month and hopefully not eat eggs for that month either... again unless they're mixed thoroughly into somthing else... prefferably somthing baked!

Linn gave me some nutrition advice (after he noticed that I'm getting some nice definition in my hamstrings when doing hip-bridges on the bench on wednesday. He said that if I've got 6 weeks in me, to do the CKD for 6 weeks... but 4 is plenty for a rotating schedule and he'd never want me to go more than 6 weeks on a CKD for fear I'd start eating muscle for fuel. I could get really efficient at the fat/protein metabolism cycle which could be bad. In any case... his recommendation was 4-6 weeks on followed by at least 4 weeks of a normal fat-loss low cal diet with ballanced protein/carbs, and then another cycle if I felt I needed it. It makes sense to me, and while its really easy for me to eat low-carb during the week... it honestly does get boring. I miss fruit.

I miss fruit a lot.

I miss fruit even more because my organic produce box this week was delivered chock-full of apricots, peaches, apples, cantaloupe and bananas... guess what I'm gonna be eating this weekend??? Fruit Salad anyone?

In other news, hubby and I stayed up late last night and watched "The Last Samurai" which was a really fabulous movie and it was so nice to cuddle on the couch and get my back rubbed with a movie. We don't get nearly enough time together, so this was a real treat.

I'm also excited that my older son Valmont will be starting Taekwon DO next week... he is VERY excited about it and the Studio I found seems really great. I watched the class... met the master and his two assistants, and they really focus on the respect and discipline aspect of the art... which I was VERY focused on finding for Val... he's a wonderful kid... but respect and responsibility are wonderful things to instill in a child. One of the other great things is that all of the students have tasks they must complete at home and school thruout the week as they progress and these tasks reinforce the self-esteem, respect, honor and responsibility lessons of the art. HOORAY! Parenting help that I agree with!!!

So that's the news today... I'm kinda nervous for my "posing lesson" this afternoon... but I'll definitely post more when its over!
