Mutiny on the Body/ 21 day fix week 1 lower fix

First and most importantly.  I want to eat my foot. I'm pretty raveous after working out. Also last night i got home and between being wiped and it being super humid I just couldn't cook.  I had 3 slices of cheese and called it a night.

I was up at 3am ...blah




So the scale has moved...I don't think this is PMS, I think this is just how long it took my body to deal with the 3 day carb binge I had over the 4th of July.  Usually after a binge I don't want to see the scale shock so I give myself a few days.  Getting on everyday and not seeing ANY change was an eye opener.  I wasn't going to get on today, but I've learned I just want to see a whoosh so I don't get on, then when I finally get on I want to see a big drop.  If I don't see a big drop I'm disappointed.  Rather than go through that I got on, before my workout.  363.  I'm not happy, but I was 364 AFTER my workouts all week, so I can live with this. I've learned the lesson and really don't see a big binge like that happening anytime soon.  The after effect is just not worth it.  Also it didn't even taste that good.

The reason I called the post Mutiny on the body is because my body did what it was going to do...I decided to eat the carbs it decided well alright Miss I want to eat all the carbs this is what you get...so disrespectful


In workout land.  Got up..it was a struggle.  I didn't feel arm day till late last night and this morning. It actually isn't bad I'm a little sore, but nothing too bad.  Leg day (lower fix) was a problem.  I thought this would be kind of a cake walk...nope.  I started out with 8lb weights and mid way through the second round switched to 5lb weights.

I think I paused through every exercise.  I didn't always do the holds.  Sweat was pouring off me. I have a 45min -1hr commute to work. I was asleep the entire time. 

Once again I loved that I was focusing on the lower half rather than top and bottom.


So my next weight goal is 349.  The prizes will be a new gym bag and t25...That's 15 lbs.  I don't see that happening this month, which means I'll be doing old videos...blah...

I did a preview of cardio fix....Burpees....Blah....

Updated...so I was sleepy and draggy all morning then hunger started to kick in, so ended up eating half a bagel with cream cheese and locks.  NSV I threw the rest in the garbage.   The bagel is my primary issue and according to calorie king it is 63 carbs.  I won't be eating any other carbs today, so I'm ok.  Curious what the scale will say tomorrow.

I feel better....so if the scale doesn't say anything crazy tomorrow I'll add toast in tomorrow. I might try and find some low carb bread...we'll see.

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...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...
