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...

335 Woo HOO

Posted on 3fc Well all week I have been praying for a 2lb (would put me at 339) loss which would put me in to the 330s. Weigh-in isn't until wed, but i got on the scale anyway....335...woo hoo. Make me much closer to the size I wanna be to buy summer clothes much more attainable. Well I can say it here. Next weigh in is March 14th. I would really like to be at 329 by then. My Official weigh-in isn't until Wednesday so I'll be playing the game with the scale until Wednesday morning. Also I am waiting for the time I get on the scale and nothing happens......blah...but trying to stay positive. Something else people would day the weight is falling off, but I worked this crap off. LOL

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
