First Weeks down/ Drinking the Beachbody Kool Aid

So this was a good week, I was on plan all week, thursday night I had 2 drinks, friday was cheat day.  The goal now is no more cheats till thursday which is weigh in day.


I finished my first week of my hybrid piyo/21 day fix workout.  I realized  my issue with piyo is while yoga is awesome. I either need it to go slow enough to give me time to get into position or stay on the ground. At some point I will practice the downward facing dog to plank, upward dog back to downward facing dog and stand.

Today was mostly pilates and I was in heaven.  I didn' finish it, but I was happy.  I am doing 4 days (double workouts each day) and I'll try and do pilates on the off days.  We'll see.

I also did a modified side plank.  I had been avoiding them but I watched a video  on piyo mods and that helped.  Also this video on using a chair is inspiring me to try a chair


Aunt flo is finishing up.  My ankles are  usually  grapefruit size they still look relatively normal. I was 359 Thursday so in a week i'd like to be 358 or lower.

So I think I want to join the beachbody website.  I don't want to be a coach and I am not buying shakeology (although I may try a meal replacement this week), but I like their workouts and they seem to come with a built in community.

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...
