As always lets start with the bad so I can finish on a good note.
Eating has been crap. I went to two afterwork events, I was moderate, but there were carbs....lovely delicious carbs.....
Anyway, I decided to do a fake weigh in today. A fake weigh in is weighing in the morning AFTER I do my workout. I was 363, so I'm probably 364 or 365. My ankles are still swollen from my period AND I'm sure the carbs aren't helping. Next week is another round of hanging out and eating with friends. The week after that I go away for a week. All this mean is my diet is going to blah until august. I am going to take it one day at a time and try and make good choices.
The good. I am going on a boat ride tomorrow and since I want to be able to function and make sure I get all my works outs in I doubled up... I did cardio fix and dirty 30. I was sort of dreading it since of all the 21DF workouts cardio fix is the one I like the least, but I wanted to get all my workouts in and I've realized working out will help burn off some of the extra carbs I'm eating.
I did cardio fix up until the bonus...I thought about doing it, but I wanted to have energy for dirty 30 so I moved on. I love dirty 30. I hung in for all of that and did a fitness blender cool down. I did it, but I could barely walk at the end of it. I stupidly also did lower fix yesterday and that is a no no. I didn't rest my legs for a day. I'll live...blah...
NSV- I did downward facing dog. It was actually a complete accident. I've posted repeatedly my dislike (fear) of doing floorwork. Sometimes I'll do it, but downward facing dog was always on the no list. I was following the fitness blender cooldown and they talked me through it and THEN said you're in downward facing dog....It wasn't horrible. Reminds me I need to try stuff more often.
During my 21DF workout. I jogged through the burpees, but I did modified mountain climbers. I put my hands on a seat of a chair and did them. I had to use more energy, but it was doable and I felt the burn.
A lot of this is inspired by coach tulin she is a plus sized beach body coach. I came across her when I was checking into t25. I was putting in t25 obese, t25 beginner and she popped up. I wanted to see reviews of the DVD by people closer to my size and/or possible modifications. She makes me feel like being big shouldn't stop you from trying, you can modify and keep going.
I kind of want her to be my beachbody coach, but I have issues with beachbody. For now I'll just admire her from afar.
Anyway, back on topic...loving working out. I have more energy, but I'm also ready to fall into a come by 9pm at night. Tied in with this I have one more week of 21 day fix. I've learned with weightloss you should always have some kind guide or plan...Winging it tends to leave you with wagon tracks on your back.
So I ordered t25 and piyo. I love 21DF, but I have exercise ADD. I also want to work on my flexibility. Rather than do them separately I'm going to do a hybrid. Beachbody has a hybrid schedule. There is also a workout scheduler generator. You put in the DVDs you have it spits out a custom schedule. My only issue with the random scheduler is I don't know the DVDs well enough to know how good the scheduler is, so as I type this I'm going to go with the beachbody schedule. Its 8 week. I'll probably only do 4 and then see where I am.
