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...

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...
