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

I wanna Party with Shaun T

So shaun T is hot, but weirdly Im not attracted to him, but i did Speed 1.0 and he would be an awesome hype man.  The music helped everything move faster.  So I think I've figured out what happened to my knee...Weights.  Not sure why, but Idid dirty 30 after speed 1.0 and at the end I could feel my knee swell. I am doing all my workout Mon-Thur so I don't have to workout Fri or Sat.  I was going to try and do legs tomorrow, but that will just make my knee worse.  So I think  it will be piyo upper and my leslie sansone piltes which had been wanting to do anyway.  I might try and do something when I get home but eh we'll see The other side of this is..I'm tired of autumn.  Nothing is wrong, but something clicked today where I just wasn't interested in listening to her anymore.  I know I'll go back to her, loved 21 day fix, but I need to replace it.  I think its going to be P90.  (no x or x2 or x3).  It seems like its about my level and I'll do the

Goals - Don't go lower

Been an interesting week or so. So I started my workout schedule last week and I did something to my right knee. When I would bend it, it hurt. Walking as a struggle, so rather than push through and potentially make it worse I just stayed off of it as much as possible.  I started back today..it was a struggle, but I got it done and I feel good.  I hopped on the scale after my workout and I'm 361...so I'm probablty 362 or 363.  I'll take that.  Eating wasn't horrible last week, just trying to focus on one meal at a time and make better choices. The knee thing I'm pretty happened when Autumn was like go lower and  I was feeling  focused.  I went lower and blah.  This just says its ok to go at my own pace.  I lost a whole week pushing too far.  Its still hot and humid so I didn't cook.  So this week is going to be salads (which I've been avoiding) and atkins shakes for dinner. I have a 21 day challenge going and that's helping me stay away from

First Weeks down/ Drinking the Beachbody Kool Aid

So this was a good week, I was on plan all week, thursday night I had 2 drinks, friday was cheat day.  The goal now is no more cheats till thursday which is weigh in day. I finished my first week of my hybrid piyo/21 day fix workout.  I realized  my issue with piyo is while yoga is awesome. I either need it to go slow enough to give me time to get into position or stay on the ground. At some point I will practice the downward facing dog to plank, upward dog back to downward facing dog and stand. Today was mostly pilates and I was in heaven.  I didn' finish it, but I was happy.  I am doing 4 days (double workouts each day) and I'll try and do pilates on the off days.  We'll see. I also did a modified side plank.  I had been avoiding them but I watched a video  on piyo mods and that helped.  Also this video on using a chair is inspiring me to try a chair Aunt flo is finishing up.  My ankles are  usually  grapefruit size they still look relatively normal. I w

I"m back

So I haven't posted in a month.  The last 2 weeks of july to the first week of August I just took a break staying on plan.  I didn't fall off completely, but its summer and I seemed to be going out alot. I then went away for a week with friends. I didn't completely fall off, but I allowed myself a drink or carb here and there.  I went up to 364.  After my trip I was trying to get back in the swing of things and it was HARD !!!! I kept having little cheats here and there...and stuff I could do 3 weeks ago seemed harder. I jus decided to stop the little cheats and I just did what I could in the workouts. I'm down to 359 as of 8/13//2015.  Which is nice. I went out yesterday and had 2 drinks, so now I need to stay on plan till next thursday. As for working out I loved 21 day fix, but I don't want to workout 6 days a week, and I need to change up the 21 day fix.  Before my vacation I ordered Piyo . I ordered mine from Ebay.  So I setup a 4 day hybrid
