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.

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...

Up 3 lbs.

Well I just couldn't what to weigh myself and I am up 3 lbs. Normally I would be devastated, but Everything 3fc has taught says 1. I should probably weight myself in the morning. 2. It is not the end of the world. I also have to admit i overate yesterday, and I had a big meal Saturday . So the plans is to stick to what I am supposed to do and weigh again Saturday morning. The guy I am seeing will be up Saturday morning, and it is Super bowl weekend, so eating is not going to be the greatest this weekend. Everything else is ok. Added Later I just realized I got cocky. I assumed since I had had all this great weight loss I could eat whatever. I have not been eating intuitively. So I am glad I did the weighin and will try and do better.
