21 day fix week 1 - Upper Fix / The scale is being totally weird

Its been a long time since I really loved a workout...I loved doing upper fix.  I tend to try and to total body workout because I have limited time, but this reminded me that its nice to be able to focus completely on one area.

I used 8lb and 5 lb weights and pretty much stuck to the non modified version except for pushups and planks.  I got on the ground for everything else.  A nice surprise, since I've been doing pilates for 2 months the crunches and other ab work didn't kill me.

Amber talks, but I'm more concerned with pushing out as many reps at my own speed than whatever she is saying.

If you're reading this, I'm not a beachbody coach.  I've been checking out review to preview what's to come and I've noticed in 99% of the reviews which are usually positive the person is or wants to be a beachbody coach.  I consider that a conflict of interest, but I could be wrong.

Scheduling...21 day fix is basically a straight 21 days of working out. The 7th day is yoga, which is stretching, but I"m not a fan of.  I also believe I should have one day a week where I don't do any kind of workout no matter how relaxing it is.  So I'm not doing yoga fix, but since I started late I won't have a day off, so I may try and double up saturday.

So I just went to youtube and I want to do the pilates so I'm going to do them tonight, take them out of the and skip them on thurs, which should put me back on a track.

So yeah the scale.


I've been the same weight since..monday?  To the ounce. 364.2.  I was convince my scale was broken so I got on with an 8lb weight..and it registered the 8 lbs.  I haven't been weighing before or during my period so no idea if this is normal or not.  It is frustrating I'll say that.  I refuse to panic and in the past some how this would give me license to fall off the wagon, but I'm focused.  I am going to try and not have a cheat anything until my period if over.  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...

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...
