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...

335 Woo HOO

Posted on 3fc Well all week I have been praying for a 2lb (would put me at 339) loss which would put me in to the 330s. Weigh-in isn't until wed, but i got on the scale anyway....335...woo hoo. Make me much closer to the size I wanna be to buy summer clothes much more attainable. Well I can say it here. Next weigh in is March 14th. I would really like to be at 329 by then. My Official weigh-in isn't until Wednesday so I'll be playing the game with the scale until Wednesday morning. Also I am waiting for the time I get on the scale and nothing happens......blah...but trying to stay positive. Something else people would day the weight is falling off, but I worked this crap off. LOL

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...
