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.

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...
