So I have a little over two days until I weigh in for dietnet. I've bobbing around 361 which is under my goal weight. I'm still paranoid so still eating on plan and working out.
In order to keep going I am working on my next round. I joined pilates anytime and daily burn and then promptly cancelled both yesterday.
I like pilates, but I don't need 300+ videos especially when I'm a beginner and have limited ability. Also I felt like there was just too much talking in the beginner videos. I'll revisit it when I get better.
Daily Burn...sigh. I remember why I quit twice before. I'm not a beginner but I still need to modify certain things (planks, push-up) other things squat with over head press I actually have moved from 5lb to 8lb weights. This means I'm in a weird place. I joined daily burn again really for the bob harper (black fire) work out.
I think I must have hit my head or something. I some how thought in all the video previews he said it was for all fitness levels. I think it is all fitness level who are already advanced. Exactly! That didn't make sense. I watched the first video and realized while I might could do some moves, but I would also be modifying 80% of it. I also wasn't interested in buying anymore equipment. All my stuff is in my leveling room and its currently bothering me that is just out.
So I thought ok maybe I'll do one of the other programs. I checked out cardio sculpt and I think my Beach Body DVD (Tony and Shaun T ) have spoiled me. If I'm going to do cardio, I don't want weights. if I"m going to do strength I want weights and cardio with weights. I am not really being on the hybrids. Anyway, of the rest of the options I was meh and wouldn't be able to do a whole month of any one program. Then I watched a pilates video and it just wasn't for me. Daily Burn reminds me of why I stopped going to the gym. Gyms are not made for people who want to lost weight. They're made for people who are generally already fit and want to push themselves. Out of a couple hundred classes I could only find a couple that I could do and then that got boring after a while.
Anyway, so I started looking online and found Fitness Glo. I found this review which was someone going from Daily Burn to Fitness Glo.
I signed up and I like it, there is a nice cross section of workouts. The level one and two workouts have variety to them. There is a level two (most places seem to be level 1 and level 10). I did one workout today, level 2 total body (I couldn't get a total body strength workout from Daily Burn, at least that I could find, that didn't require heavy modification). So I'm going to do some testing this week and next week I want to try working out just weights all week and see what that does. Then on Feb 8th I'm back on dietbet. FG has a 8 week intermediate program and I'll do that for Feb.
Ah yeah I'm going to do it again. It keeps me motivated. I like the idea of the money but its more just wanting to accomplish my goal. I don't like how focused I am on the scale so for my week off I'll be putting it away. I also don't think I'll do 3 months in a row. I don't want to become dependent on dietbet for motivation and I think the obsession with the scale towards the end can become unhealthy.
