21 day fix Cardio Fix - Just do something.

So my plan was to double up on one of the workouts so I could try them all in the first week before I start over on monday AND get a rest day in between







That is the face I'm making at myself.  My legs are a lil sore from leg fix and my arms and sides are still recovering from upper fix.

I did cardio fix and I jogged rather than do mountain climbers or burpees.  Then she said bonus..come on you know you want to do the bonus round....Um yeah no I really don't





This is an exact recreation of my face...off went amber, no cool down, no 200 do not pass go...

So I'm sure someone is reading this like you won't get the maximum effect...I don't care...one of the things I've learned if forcing myself to do the thing I hate (not just don't like) is going to lead to me avoiding them in the future and gaining the weight back.  Its a fine line.  No I didn't do mountain climbers or burpees or the bonus round (i did it yesterday), but I got up and sweated like I was in the Mohave desert. 

The best thing I ever did years ago was start with Leslie Sansone and when she added upper body movement to her walking she says..you're not hear to learn dance moves, you're hear to move and lose weight.  I'm not here to do a better pushup or  do advanced burpees.  I'm hear to lose weight, for that I need to do something..hopefully of equal intensity 

Another example is people who say modified pushups are a waste and if you want to do a pushup you need to start on your toes.  



At 350+ pounds  I hate getting down on the ground and with bad knees getting up is an ordeal. I started with wall pushups...then pushups on my knees..every so often I'll try a real pushup.  In the mean time I have modified versions so I am still doing something.  I think that's the key...don't get caught up on what someone  else decides is the level you need to rise to, figure out what you can do, and do it.  If you're avoiding it, at least try and or, modifiy or do something of equal intensity...the worst thing you can do is nothing.


Anyway I still love 21 day fix, but i'll be super happy for rest day sunday.


The scale is moving, down another 2 lbs.  I don't think I would have scene that without 21day fix.  I also need to have some kind of carb, toast or half a bagel on rough workout days.

1lb

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

Reading through my Blog/ Learning more about me

So I was looking for distraction from the vending machine monster and I found a 100 calorie snack ( i need to start carrying those again) and realized I was 312 lbs back in April. :-(, but I think the good thing is I am back at 312 and will soon be lower. I also learned spring and summer are bad times for me and I need to learn to modify my exercise plan during the summer. I think I felt like if I didn't feel like working out I couldn't do anything. I should have done maybe 30 min or something...We'll see I also noticed I am slightly scale obsessed, but like I posted before the scale has been who I judge myself and right now I WANT to be under 300lbs. So between the 100 cal snack and reading 3fc and the blog I am ok. Now home to a bowl full of mixed vegetables ( lol and I am actually looking forward to it)

Repeating Mistakes/ To fibit not to fitbit

LOL once I start blogging I can't stop. So I'm in the exercise groove...I've been here before..the weight is coming off.  I'm eating right, feeling good..and then...I do too much, get frustrated and binge and then quit...sigh So I started posting on 3 fat chicks again.  I felt like I need an outlet for things I was feeling without judgement and I like reading about other people struggles so I don't feel alone.  I am avoiding any challenges and any group posts.  The posts where everyone already knows everyone so you post but no one responds because they don't really know you...blah... The reality is I don't do well on challenges and it stops becoming about weight loss and feeling good and more about "winning" nothing..because there is no actual prize.  If I win yeah..but often I "lose" and feel bad and then begins a downward spiral into feeling like a failure.  Weirdly this is also the reason I never got into counting carbs or cal...
