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.

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...

Up 3 lbs.

Well I just couldn't what to weigh myself and I am up 3 lbs. Normally I would be devastated, but Everything 3fc has taught says 1. I should probably weight myself in the morning. 2. It is not the end of the world. I also have to admit i overate yesterday, and I had a big meal Saturday . So the plans is to stick to what I am supposed to do and weigh again Saturday morning. The guy I am seeing will be up Saturday morning, and it is Super bowl weekend, so eating is not going to be the greatest this weekend. Everything else is ok. Added Later I just realized I got cocky. I assumed since I had had all this great weight loss I could eat whatever. I have not been eating intuitively. So I am glad I did the weighin and will try and do better.
