21 day fix week 1 - Total body fix / Recovering from the 4th of july

If I've learned anything from Jillian Michal's its if you want something you have to do the thing you don't want to do, to get what you want.

I hurt my shoulder, just the muscle, but I went home monday and just turning over hurt.

I left my laptop in the car and my dvd play doesn't really work

I over slept.




So I could have just called it a wrap today, but I got up, used my desktop which has a huge monitor and did everything but the ab workout at the end.  I have 3 days of pilates so I'm not worried about abs.

Since the rest of my body was on fire my shoulder didn't seem like such a big deal, and to be honest it actually helped loosen up the muscle.

Before I get into the critique I want to say overall I loved this workout.  It similar to Jillian.  There are 4 rounds.  Each round is 2 exercises done for 1 min with 20 second rest and repeat.  If that didn't make sense..You can google it.

Anyway, I did everything but the Abs. My shoulder wasn't going to get me off the ground if I could get down.  I'm going to do pilates tonight.

Amber is awesome, she is perky without being annoying. She is of the Jillian Michaels school of talking while everyone works out.

There is a modifier, which is awesome..The only time that didn't work was the first exercise which is step up and step down.  I joggeed through that one.  For the other exercises I usually did the modification with weight.  I think for every exercise I stopped to catch my breath,but kept going and finished.

So it was a good workout without me feeling miserable or like I couldn't do it.


After my workout yesterday I got on the scale. It isn't an accurate number, but it gives me an idea of how bad the damage it without the sticker shock....I'm weird..shrug...so it was 364.  I added in toast yesterday because I had worked out.

Today  after my workout it was exactly the same, that usually means my body is just on pause.  It usually happens right before my period.  My app, says I'm due in about 6 days, so I'm not panicking.  The goal is to
stay on plan for at least 6 days...I'll weigh in after my workouts and just stick to my plan.  Fingers crossed.

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...
