I began the Ketogenic diet on September 25, 2017. I have currently lost a total of 50 pounds and have now met my ultimate goal weight. This next journey will be an exciting time. Maintenance is an adjustment not to mention very challenging. One thing a person needs is to use all the skills learned to work thru the bumps of this journey. My workouts consist of Cardio 5 days a week. Core exercises with coach Nichole and/or Leslie Sansone 2 or 3 times a week. Strength Training with Coach Nicole and/or Leslie Sansone 2 or 3 times a week. I could not have done this without the help of my SparkFriends and SparkCoaches. SparkOn!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!
