    Was going to do Upper Fix after 30DS but I got called into work after doing 30DS. Now its nearly 10PM and I still have to do reports for my business and eat dinner. Complete madness. I feel bad but at the same time I got some workout in today. Tomorrow I am off and will kick butt at tomorrow's workout

    Just did Cardio Fix. Yeah, that's probably my least favorite. Brutallll. I just wanna lay on the floor afterwards, lol. Probably the most effective too though. Checked the scale after the workout and am now down 6lbs, yay!!!

    I did Lower Body Fix today with the heavier weights and PiYo Core.

    I am looking at a long list of things I need and want to get done today so forgive me if I'm not as interactive and supportive today. I think I may try to keep a yellow or two for the end of my day so I can have a glass of wine. Or two.

    Lower Fix and abs done!

    I threw my lower back out on Monday so it's been a struggle. Yesterday it felt better. Today not so much. I hope it gets better fast! Been using heat and Advil but I'm switching to ice to see if it helps.

    If I feel better later I want to get some cardio in - maybe the elliptical. The scale is the same 8 days later and I'm frustrated!

    Round 3 day 1. I like Total Body Cardio the least. Hurt my foot with surrenders and dancing with my students. Not happy but pushing through. Down 23lbs to date. I AM happy about that :smiley:

    Hi guys! Day 17/21: lower fix! Plus ran 6 miles and went to a hot yoga sesh!

    Was finally able to get lower fix in at 9:30pm. Took the dogs out for a quick walk this morning then spent the day working on accent pieces for my cake orders. Got all my containers in just under the wire. I still need to work making time to eat rather than working straight through.

    Round 2 Day 11

    The scale finally moved - only .2 but hey, I will take it. My back is feeling better - I wonder if maybe the back injury has caused me to retain some fluid? Who knows, but I am pushing through!

    Looking forward to Pilates after work - I think I will go for a three mile run too! I need some extra burn.

    And I disliked Pilates Fix? Now I enjoy it! Well, not the side part with the legs but, you know, I get through it in one piece in spite of myself.

    PiYo Drench was a new workout and I honestly don't know if I'll ever be able to do this. I was struggling hard through Sweat and this was even more difficult.

    @mnemonicone3 Awesome results! I'm in Round 3 now.

    @michellemybelll I've never taken a hot yoga class. I'm curious about what you do when the mat gets a little sweaty. I am having a problem while doing PiYo with my hands and feet slipping on my mat because I'm dripping sweat. Any advice?

    @cupcake570 I struggled to get my containers in yesterday because I had saved my yellows for a glass of wine . . . but then forgot to ask my husband to bring some wine home. Oops. Oh well.

    @dkwi04 I hope my scale starts moving soon. I regained some of the weight I had lost during Round 2 but I'm assuming it will slip away soon.

    @SatiaRenee a yoga mat towel is definitely necessary. here are typical ones you see in hot yoga classes: yogitoes.com/yogitoes-yoga-towels
    They come in very handy, and prevent slipping.

    Today is day 18/21, and I got in a 6 mile run + pilates fix. I have to trek down to the DMV now to finally switch my FL license over to CA. I've been putting it off because DMV offices are so notoriously disorganized and require such long waits - BUT i made an appointment so hopefully that will help. I may try and get in a total body cardio fix this afternoon if i'm feeling up to it (this last week of the 21 day fix has optional doubles scheduled).

    cheers guys!

    @michellemybelll I keep a towel handy but I'm dripping sweat faster than I can wipe it off (and PiYo doesn't have a lot of space for grabbing a towel). I may have to invest in some sweatbands or something. My yoga mat and towel can't keep up with PiYo Sweat and/or Drench!

    On day 3 of my first round of 21 Day fix and boy do my legs hurt. I had done T25 before and have not hurt this bad. I am not giving up though. Have to keep those muscles moving.

    I love Fridays!!! Why? Because PiYo has a Rest Day on Friday so I only do one morning workout. I feel downright lazy on Fridays. Seriously, how can anyone feel lazy after doing 21DF Cardio Fix? Well, I do! Every Friday! For the past two weeks. (Week 4 of PiYo and W1:R3 of 21DF)

    After Cardio Fix I went ahead and did P90 Ab Ripper A, leaving the disc in the DVD player for my husband who will be doing P90 later today. I'm hoping to see the scale move in the next few days, otherwise my Sunday weigh-in is going to show a weight gain. :(

    my scale shows a gain right now too :( Very depressing, but I push on. I have to believe it will come and when it does, I pray for a big one!

    I have been off the grid...my baby was sick last weekend and then I got the bug! The doctor told me to stay off from work and rest. I'm feeling much better and I plan to do Dirty 30 today.
  • SatiaRenee
    SatiaRenee Posts: 798 Member
    Everyone, You're all doing great! Yes, even those of us who are seeing higher numbers on the scale!

    @wrightchoices I'm so sorry you and your little one were feeling sick and glad everyone's feeling better.

    Early Morning Workout

    Dirty 30 with my heavier weights this time around although I stayed with the lighter weights on the triceps kick-back because I don't know if my arms are quite ready to bump up all the way.

    PiYo Strength Intervals was tough on my balance and I did fall on my butt (literally, but we were on hands and knees so it wasn't a long fall) but I didn't give up altogether.

    Mid-Morning

    Took a 1.5 miles walk with my husband. It was a lovely walk.

    Later

    I'll use the bike and get in my plank challenge for the day. Plan on doing some quiet reading and maybe some housework most of the day. And we have some herbs we want/need to plant this afternoon.

    Have a lovely Saturday everyone.

    Yes, kudos to everyone on here. You're all doin great! Double kudos to those that do double workouts per day, hope I get there soon. :)

    Got total cardio fix in this morning. My knees are hurting a little today, hope it doesn't get worse. I am on day 15 and really want to do the full 21 without skipping a day. I'm sure starting my new job (bein on my feet) is contributing to the joint pain, just hope I can push through it. I work tonight and tomorrow and then off for a couple days.

    Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! It's gorgeous out today.

    Day 20! 5 mile powerwalk, Dirty 30 and walked my sweet pups. Weather was perfect today.
    Seriously thinking about doing another round of the 21 day fix.
    :) Happy Saturday everyone!!

    Excited that tomorrow is day 21! I have followed this plan to a T, doubling up on my workouts all this week and I am currently doing the 3 day quick fix recommended the last 3 days. This is my first time ever using a Beachbody product.

    I have seen great results so far, but promised myself I would not weigh myself all this week. Measurements and weigh in on Monday - can't wait! I wanted to know if there would be much of a difference in my weight after the 3 day quick fix, so I stepped on the scale Friday and had my daughter keep the number to herself, lol.

    Ugh!

    I am having a bad day physically. I woke up feeling nauseous, which is a sure sign that my vertigo is bad. Sure enough, I've been stumbling through my morning. In spite of this, I managed to do PiYo Sweat (or as much of it as I can do anyway) and Yoga Fix.

    PiYo continues to be a struggle for me because I simply cannot hold the downward dog and plank positions as long as they do on the DVD but I hold it as long as I can and trust that I'll do better in the coming weeks. And tomorrow I do one of the workouts for the first time. I'll watch it later today, as I do with all of the workouts, to make sure I know what to expect and can mentally prepare myself for any necessary modifications.

    All things considered

    Rob is working today and Holly doesn't like it when I use the bike so I'm going to make sure I use the bike before he leaves. (I think she thinks that if I'm using the bike, I can't give her all of the attention she deserves. Her separation anxiety is better but not quite gone, especially where "Daddy" is concerned.) Plus, given how dizzy I'm feeling, walking around the neighborhood may be too challenging. I nearly lost my balance while walking yesterday (yes, I can fall on level ground!) so if I know I'm feeling off it stands to reason I should be extra careful.

    @nables73 It's so hard NOT to check the measurements and such before day 21/22, isn't it? I mean, even now, knowing I gained weight this week (not really stressing it though), I am itching to see what my numbers are. Instead, I wait until The Big Day and let myself be surprised. LOL! I love what you did with your daughter re. 3DQF! I hope she's good at keeping secrets. :)

    @SatiaRenee sorry you are feeling not 100% today, but way to power through and get a workout in!

    Haha yes my daughter is keeping it from me and even asked me yesterday what my goal weight was with a twinkle in her eye.

    So relieved today is #21!! Still have 4 more meals of this quick fix today and then the big reveal tomorrow! Can't wait for my chocolate shakeology in the morning! Unsure of my fitness plans after this, since it is warmer I'm sure I'll run more and I've missed weight lifting. I will incorporate autumns DVDs and continue to use containers to measure my food. I will post my results tomorrow on the "results" thread.

    I really enjoy reading about everyone's journey, no matter how large or small
