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.

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
