Another Double Day!

Bounced out of bed today, hurrying downstairs to get the trashcans out. Ooooowwww! I felt my foot hurting from yesterday's workout. I think I pulled something but after a bit of walking, I got it warmed up and figured I would wait a bit before I started T25 this morning.

Just finished it and my foot felt fine. *whew* I don't need an injury. I want to get thru this and continue on with my doubles! I am just tired of this and not messing around anymore. Time to get serious and lose this weight!

So I completed the Speed 1.0 a few minutes ago. Felt pretty good. I really enjoy the stretching moments that Shaun T throws in there. Man that feels awesome!
Cooling down with some water and just had some nuts. I need to lose the salted stuff and once they are done, I'll move on to the unsalted, raw nuts.

I have images of me getting fit, being fit and riding my bike and having a similar figure that I had when I was much younger. I know it won't ever really go back to that, nor would I want it to either, but man, to lose this thickness around the middle and some of this belly fat would be awesome!

I am waiting a few minutes now before I start with the Upper Fix with the 21 Day Fix workout. I noticed in WOWY that other people were doing other workouts and it made me think that once fit, most of the people are just doing the other workouts and I imagine once you are fit, you could just do whatever program, some sort of workout and be just fine then, keep the weight and fat off that way. I would bet too that the other programs might not be that much of a challenge, the lighter ones, once you are fit.

The plan now is to stick with these double workouts. If I miss a few days, like I know I will this weekend, that's ok, I'll get right back on it come Monday and keep on going strong! The key for me is sticking with the healthy food choices. Most of the time, all these past few years, several actually, I have just continued to self sabotage all of my efforts. I might lose some, then I'll gain it all back with interest. They say that yo-yo'ing is worse than just having the same fat all that time.
Who knows...but what I do know is that I need this gone and I need to remain active to keep it off and keep with a good choice of healthy foods.

Hmmm and since I've been eating this 21 Day Fix...I can't remember the last time I had a hot flash? That's interesting. They do say too that exercise and diet and rest is key for that. I need to make myself go to sleep at least by 10. I know I need more rest than I am getting.

Well, today, I will complete this other workout with the Upper Fix and then shower and have a nice salad for lunch with some fruit.

Then, I think I will treat myself to the movies :)

After Falling off the Weight Loss Wagon...

And oh boy eating badly this past weekend too! I gave into the sugar craving, the chocolate one....

but....

I decided enough was enough so this morning, I weighed in at 201.5 and thought well that's good! I didn't gain too much back after not working out for almost 2 weeks!?

So today, this morning, I looked thru what workout dvds I have out of my moving boxes and I saw T25. I am going to do doubles for a while. T25 to start my mornings with and then afterwards, waking my son up to do the 21 Day Fix. I'll also be getting some bike riding in there too and some days will have extra workouts.

I have to be serious and get this done. Being over 200 is too much. 190s are too much. Now that I have some great new sneakers and have found all my workout shorts, there is just no excuse. None.

So getting up early to get the workouts done. I tried to not do them until my son woke up later in the mornings but I just found myself not doing them. Getting caught up with work or just relaxed for the day and it's so hard to be motivated once I am sitting about on the computer and working or toodling through Facebook. It's hard to get up off your lazy bum and get moving! I have most of my energy in the early mornings and if I promise myself not to get on here unless it's to start the workouts in WOWY, at the Beachbody site, then I can get it done. I can workout and then do a little bit of work, have some water and then get my son up by 8 am and get him down here to workout again with me.
I make breakfast and we head off to the shower which starts our day. It really works well, it's a great routine.

I know I will be sore as heck tomorrow. I felt I did a little twist on my right side but that's ok. It's not bad and I feel so much better, more focused after having worked out like that.

I have a good plan now, and just need to follow thru. I know my birthday is coming up here on Thursday and I plan to spend it at the beach and will eat bad but that's ok. Then I am leaving for the weekend and that's ok too. I'll be right back at it again on Monday. :)
I feel better if I miss a few days here or there if I am doing doubles, that's ok.

I think overall, it will be good and I have stayed with the eating plan for the most part too. So we'll see how it goes!

Will take measurements later on! :)

21 Day Fix--Round Two!

I have to say, I was feeling a bit down. I want fast results and was feeling impatient a bit and eating the same things and just well, in a plain ol' mood!

Started round two however after I missed a few days here or there in round one and I just let other things in my life prevent me from working out, tho' I did keep up with the food choices. My son likes to sleep in, A LOT and we started to do the workout in mid-morning after our first snack instead of first thing in the morning before breakfast. It was working for a few days and then, I got busy with work and the day got away from me and the next thing I knew it was time for lunch...snack...well damn!

So I was feelin' frustrated and I had told him we were gonna have to go back to working out in the morning, first thing cause we just don't do it later in the day. I thought we might take off the rest of the week and then start again this coming Monday.

Yet, something told me to go weigh myself today. Before I have breakfast. To take a peek and see what it really is as I have not weighed myself in over a week or so. That in of itself is an accomplishment for me!

So I did.

AND?!

I am 200, flat!! OMG! I have lost 6.5 lbs! I am so excited! Now that gives me motivation! It's working!! YAY!

And it makes me want to work out NOW and keep going!  I want to break that 200 mark and get my butt down into the 190s and keep going! I do feel like I am eating way too much food tho' but obviously my body has needed it and needed the RIGHT kinds of food for so long. I do feel stronger now that I am working out again, tho' I have missed a few days.

This is just so great! I know I have to have patience and keep up the dedication and motivation and not stop! I was thinking of doing a second workout later on in the day/evening to drive up my metabolism and I know riding my bike will also help! So that means I need to get up off my behind and get moving! :)

How thrilling to watch this weight go down and I figure I will workout for two more weeks and then I'll take measurements! :) And pics and go around again for another 3 weeks! I want to repeat this until September and when the new P90 comes out, get that and do it! :)  That will take me to December

 I have to keep reminding myself that I am fighting age here and genetics/heredity and just plain bad habits and sugar addiction. I do want to say tho' that I love the fruit! And I think the Shakeology Chocolate I just got is the newer mix cause it is sooooo good and tastes so much better!

Alright, here I go! The start of another new day!
