Let it Snow




I live in the northeast and today was our first blizzard after not having a real winter.  I think mother nature if making up for lost time. I'm totally ok with that.

I finished up my 21 day challenge with no issues.  I was supposed to hangout tonight, which might have been an issue with staying on plan, but since I'm trapped in the house it was east breezy. yay me.

My cheat day was another interesting experience.  I had one donut. It tasted good, proud of myself since I was eating 2 or 3 at a time without blinking.  I had sushi for lunch, less than I usually had.


Then I was on my way home. I was hungry and it was a cheat day so I had chicken nuggets from Wendy's.  It was that or a hamburger, but the bread would have stuck with me longer than the breading on the nuggets.  Anyway....My stomach was not happy. They seemed super salty and greasy. I kind of enjoyed them, but after about 20 min, it felt like I had an oil slick in my stomach...ugh.  I drank some apple cider vinegar and just hoped.  I also had some sardines since I got hungry later...maybe not the best idea...

As of this morning I'm 362.4 which is .2 over my dietbet goal.  That was before the workout. I'm sure I would be under after.  We'll see tomorrow.

Workout was a Bob Harper Beginner Workout I found on YouTube.  45 min.  Its a good workout, I would say more a low intermediate also there is no modifier.  I used to let that stop me, but I've learned a few tricks and Coach Tulin is a huge motivator.  So for all the floor work where I normally wouldn't even bother to try I did it on my knees. I didn't do as much as everyone else, but I did it for me, not them. That being said....Piyo...ugh



Piyo is something I feel like would be awesome. I want to stretch more, yoga is just too...slow for me..blah..With Bob  I had time to get on the floor and still do whatever exercise.  With Piyo I really need to just watch the move, pause and do it.  Also there is a modifier, but for the floor work she still move faster than me. I think I was already tired from Bob, so I did some stretching, but not happy. 



After that I made a few changes.  I like my beach body videos, but I wanted something different for next month so I stopped my membership to gaia (aka giam) it was mostly firm and yoga stuff and I wanted stretching that doesn't talk to me about deep breathing for 15 min before anything happens. I'm sure they had some cool beginner stuff, but I don't think it was a good mesh. I realize I'm more of a pilates person.

I also stopped my barre 3 membership. I only wanted it for stretching.  It was doable..but meh..I might go back to it, it also wasn't a good fit.

What I wanted is a pilates/stretching workout 20 min or less where I don't have to modify the entire thing.  Modifying is ok, but I feel like I'm not getting as good a stretch because I can't do whatever move is .

With the extra cash I signed up for Pilates Anytime.  I queued up about 13 beginner workouts.  So we'll see.  I also joined Daily Burn. I have joined twice before and felt like there wasn't much for me except true beginner, and while I'm not that fit, true beginner just was a lil too slow for me.

I also saved a bunch of videos from youtube to try.  A mix of yoga and pilates.  The yoga ones see to move a bit more.

My next dietbet will probably start Feb 4th, so  I have a week to try out some things and set myself up for next month.

Oh yeah I'm doing dietbet again next month.  I'll probably have to lose about 14-15 lbs.  Blah, but With all the experimenting I did this month and realizing where I was stalling myself I think it will be a little easier.

I'm sure I'll bitch and moan, but eh that's just me.

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...
