Mutiny on the Body/ 21 day fix week 1 lower fix

First and most importantly.  I want to eat my foot. I'm pretty raveous after working out. Also last night i got home and between being wiped and it being super humid I just couldn't cook.  I had 3 slices of cheese and called it a night.

I was up at 3am ...blah




So the scale has moved...I don't think this is PMS, I think this is just how long it took my body to deal with the 3 day carb binge I had over the 4th of July.  Usually after a binge I don't want to see the scale shock so I give myself a few days.  Getting on everyday and not seeing ANY change was an eye opener.  I wasn't going to get on today, but I've learned I just want to see a whoosh so I don't get on, then when I finally get on I want to see a big drop.  If I don't see a big drop I'm disappointed.  Rather than go through that I got on, before my workout.  363.  I'm not happy, but I was 364 AFTER my workouts all week, so I can live with this. I've learned the lesson and really don't see a big binge like that happening anytime soon.  The after effect is just not worth it.  Also it didn't even taste that good.

The reason I called the post Mutiny on the body is because my body did what it was going to do...I decided to eat the carbs it decided well alright Miss I want to eat all the carbs this is what you get...so disrespectful


In workout land.  Got up..it was a struggle.  I didn't feel arm day till late last night and this morning. It actually isn't bad I'm a little sore, but nothing too bad.  Leg day (lower fix) was a problem.  I thought this would be kind of a cake walk...nope.  I started out with 8lb weights and mid way through the second round switched to 5lb weights.

I think I paused through every exercise.  I didn't always do the holds.  Sweat was pouring off me. I have a 45min -1hr commute to work. I was asleep the entire time. 

Once again I loved that I was focusing on the lower half rather than top and bottom.


So my next weight goal is 349.  The prizes will be a new gym bag and t25...That's 15 lbs.  I don't see that happening this month, which means I'll be doing old videos...blah...

I did a preview of cardio fix....Burpees....Blah....

Updated...so I was sleepy and draggy all morning then hunger started to kick in, so ended up eating half a bagel with cream cheese and locks.  NSV I threw the rest in the garbage.   The bagel is my primary issue and according to calorie king it is 63 carbs.  I won't be eating any other carbs today, so I'm ok.  Curious what the scale will say tomorrow.

I feel better....so if the scale doesn't say anything crazy tomorrow I'll add toast in tomorrow. I might try and find some low carb bread...we'll see.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs.  I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When  I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years.  I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories.  I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want.  ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy.  I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time.  I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Avoiding Vacation Sticker Shock and Rebounding

Back from Miami. I have come to realize women are awesome and can form great bonds, but they can also be full of drama for no reason.  I had a great time and definitely want to go back. The "rules" for my trip away were no pasta, rice or potoatoes.  I think I had rice or potatoes with most of my meals.  I didn't go overboard, no binging or huge portions.  Then there was the drinking.  I haven't really drank in a while...so I didn't go overboard, but I drank my fair share. Drinks at Wet Willies in Miami My ankles were not the biggest I've seen, but definitely swollen.  I decided when I got back no scale.  I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. When I got back it was a struggle to get up and workout.  It almost felt like the first couple of weeks. Also doing things that had gotten easier felt like a big of a struggle. Tuesday I got on the scale and I was 359.0.  I am stupidly happy I was in the 350s.  I'm als...
