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...

One of my new year's resolutions was to post more in my blogs, particularly my intuitive eater blog. So I bought a scale yesterday because I couldn't find one that was easily accesible when I wanted to know my weight. It is a Tanita Scale . It is the best scale I've ever used. easy, no wacky changing depending on when you get on and off and the alignment of the moon and stars. So in 3 months I've only lost 2 lbs. I really am not as upset as I probably would have been because I lost it eating supposedly bad foods and not being miserable. I bought the scale to keep me a little more focused and honest.

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
