21 day fix week 1 - Total body fix / Recovering from the 4th of july

If I've learned anything from Jillian Michal's its if you want something you have to do the thing you don't want to do, to get what you want.

I hurt my shoulder, just the muscle, but I went home monday and just turning over hurt.

I left my laptop in the car and my dvd play doesn't really work

I over slept.




So I could have just called it a wrap today, but I got up, used my desktop which has a huge monitor and did everything but the ab workout at the end.  I have 3 days of pilates so I'm not worried about abs.

Since the rest of my body was on fire my shoulder didn't seem like such a big deal, and to be honest it actually helped loosen up the muscle.

Before I get into the critique I want to say overall I loved this workout.  It similar to Jillian.  There are 4 rounds.  Each round is 2 exercises done for 1 min with 20 second rest and repeat.  If that didn't make sense..You can google it.

Anyway, I did everything but the Abs. My shoulder wasn't going to get me off the ground if I could get down.  I'm going to do pilates tonight.

Amber is awesome, she is perky without being annoying. She is of the Jillian Michaels school of talking while everyone works out.

There is a modifier, which is awesome..The only time that didn't work was the first exercise which is step up and step down.  I joggeed through that one.  For the other exercises I usually did the modification with weight.  I think for every exercise I stopped to catch my breath,but kept going and finished.

So it was a good workout without me feeling miserable or like I couldn't do it.


After my workout yesterday I got on the scale. It isn't an accurate number, but it gives me an idea of how bad the damage it without the sticker shock....I'm weird..shrug...so it was 364.  I added in toast yesterday because I had worked out.

Today  after my workout it was exactly the same, that usually means my body is just on pause.  It usually happens right before my period.  My app, says I'm due in about 6 days, so I'm not panicking.  The goal is to
stay on plan for at least 6 days...I'll weigh in after my workouts and just stick to my plan.  Fingers crossed.

Doing ok

Only did the second cheerleader video can't find belly butt and thighs, so I might do that tonight. cardio overdrive 40 min, I thought it was really only 20 something. So I'm good for right now. Eating has been pretty good. I'll get on the scale saturday morning. Something I realized I'm never going to be as focused as when I first started this journey, which is probably ok since I couldn't maintain that forever...same food over and over again ...blah... Yesterday I had a busy day and wanted to go out and buy food even though I had brough lunch. I stayed in the office and ate my rice and carrots. Something else in NY they have the calories on everything, so the choclate crossiant that I had brainwashed myself into believe it was 200 Calories is more like 400+ with a class of milk that about 600 calories for breakfast. So i realized I could have an english muffin, milk and saugage (from home) and be just as fine....so even less eating out. I don't want to kno

Staying on Track even when cheating.

Usually when I post there is a overall point or idea I'm trying to express.  This is just a catchup post.  Last week I only worked out once.  Part of that was due to working late and just not being able to get it together and part was Friday waking up and being heavier than I thought I should be.  In the end I realized I'm still in the mid 350s, and didn't sky rocket up tot he 360s.  I didn't binge and totally screw my progress so I'm happy. So I do want to list my cheats this weekend. I had a party weekend and I cheated, but it was pretty controlled.  Friday I had a parfait from my usual salad spot.  Thai chili wings from the restaurant at the hotel.  Saturday Fish Tacos and Thai chili wings (yes, I really liked them, lol). Sunday Cheesy potatos and half a waffle for breakfast.  I ate in addition to this stuff, but it was on plan. I was starting to get into the mindset that I need to workout harder and longer and whenever I start doing that it work agains

Getting old

So yesterday was a pretty ok day, It all went down hill when I ate my salad for lunch.  In literally the last year I've become allergic to tree nuts,not peanuts.  I'm not a big nut person in general, but yesterday I had a salad with pesto checking in it.  I got itchy.  My co-worker realized the pesto probably had pine nuts in it. So they gave me some children's benedryl..I think I was better off being slightly itchy.  In fact I'm sure I was better off.  For literally the rest of the day I just couldn't seem to wake up.  I went home and at 9. I just crashed. and that was children's benedryl.  I think I've only felt like that after doing lots of shots at a dive bar.  I might need this for my next party. Anyway I woke up today, with two slightly swollen stiff knees so no workout.  I had done 2 days in a row, so I"m ok with the day off.  Tomorrow instead of whatever my hybrid schedule her I'll do 21 day fix upper fix and piyo upper bod
