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.

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
