Weight Loss Update

I'ts been a month from starting the low/no sugar diet and I think I'm ready for a little more drop in calories. The problem I am already having is loss of energy and motivation and I know it is directly related to the lowering of carbs (just the sugars)! My body weight is slowly but steadily declining and I can see my abs (well kinda), but better than at any time in the last year and a half. The one thing I have to remember is that I bulked up for the Power Ministry to almost 280 and I am now down to 240. So progress is being made! Last weekend we went out to dinner with a couple (my buddy Chris and his wife Trina) and I ate whatever I wanted, the following day (Monday), I had energy like crazy! Man I Lifted, did some hardcore Abs from p90X and Yoga, and I still felt like I could have (and should have) ran 5 miles! The following day after returning to the diet my energy has crashed and my motivation sucks! When I use to diet hardcore for bodybuilding I would workout directly after eating as this was the only time I had energy, I might have to return to that formula if I don't start to adapt pretty soon! Next week I think I'm going to add fruit back in to see if that helps, I just don't want to mess with my blood sugars to much. My thinking is that if I add fruit then I will have energy to do some awesome training and the extra Calories will be burned anyway!
Well I'll let you know how it goes,
Till next time
