Waiting for the whoosh....bump TOM

I actually wasn't intending to blog, but I think I needed to vent a little so here I am. 



First the bad, my period started monday and while I haven't had a repeat of death by donut I've had a few cheats (frozen yogurt, 2 mojitos, 2 hot dogs, 1 beer) This isn't in one sitting but over the course of this week.  I didn't really overeat just ate thing I shouldn't have. I haven't weighed myself because I wasn't interested in the emotional rollarcoaster that would have been, but my ankles are currently the size of grapefruit...blah.  When Aunt flo has officially left time I'll weigh a day or so after that  The question is usually after my period if over there is a 3-5 lbs loss, but I've been cheating so there is the potential for a gain.




The good..I'm sticking to the 21 day Fix.  I did a warm up and cool down I found on youtube because I was tired of the one Autumn did EVERYDAY.  That being said I'm really loving 21DF.  Next week is the last week.  i'm supposed to double up on exercise workout, but meh...I don't see that happening.

I doublt I'll be anywhere near the 340s by the end of this month, so no gym bag, but to keep the momentum and since I know I'll finish the 21 day fix I ordered T25.  I realized while I liked the 21 day fix..I don't want to work out 6 days a week forever.  So my august challenge it to work out twice a day 3-4 days a week.   The other days I can do pilates or nothing. While I loved 21DF I missed my pilates.  21DF has pilates, but its one day and I feel like I'd like a beginner pilates workout like I've been doing and I usually feel relaxed after.  I also want to make sure I'm doing cardio and strength and 2 workouts a day should be more than enough.  I don't have any major plans in august so there shouldn't be any interruptions.

NSV - I have more energy and I think my boobs shrunk a little...I have huge boobs so I'm ok with this.  It feels like my bras are fitting better. I think i've lost some inches.  I don't measure, but my clothes just feel better.

Weirdness...no matter what workout I do it takes 24 hours before I feel sour.  So yesterday I did Upper fix, today I did lower fix, but my arms and back are what are sore...Eh just an observation. 

I have a party this weekend, fingers crossed I don't go overboard.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs.  I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When  I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years.  I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories.  I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want.  ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy.  I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time.  I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Avoiding Vacation Sticker Shock and Rebounding

Back from Miami. I have come to realize women are awesome and can form great bonds, but they can also be full of drama for no reason.  I had a great time and definitely want to go back. The "rules" for my trip away were no pasta, rice or potoatoes.  I think I had rice or potatoes with most of my meals.  I didn't go overboard, no binging or huge portions.  Then there was the drinking.  I haven't really drank in a while...so I didn't go overboard, but I drank my fair share. Drinks at Wet Willies in Miami My ankles were not the biggest I've seen, but definitely swollen.  I decided when I got back no scale.  I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. When I got back it was a struggle to get up and workout.  It almost felt like the first couple of weeks. Also doing things that had gotten easier felt like a big of a struggle. Tuesday I got on the scale and I was 359.0.  I am stupidly happy I was in the 350s.  I'm als...
