I'm doubling up workouts this week. I did the 21DF - Total Body Cardio Fix this morning and will do the Pilates Fix tonight! I'm loving this program and plan to start round 2 on June 1st.0

@walkdmc - I hear Beachbody is great about replacing DVD's - Call them and give it a try. That would really annoy me.
@SatiaRenee - I am jealous of your morning. I wish I didn't have to work, because I would already have done my workout! I hate that I can't get out of bed in the morning
Knowing I have that to go home to stinks. Oh and thank you!!! for sending me the squash beef stew recipe, I packed that for my husbands lunch today and he just texted me (apparently he ate early) "Lunch was good! The broth was great and it was spiced right" 
I have been so much better with my spices and he is enjoying it 0 -
Mmmm beef stew recipe....someone care to share?!0
-
It is in the recipe thread0

Thanks Ladies! I bought them through Amazon but BB was the seller. I will call them. I wanted to stay mad but Autumn and her workouts are so good. What a great workout, Cardio Fix!0

Hey everyone! i'm starting round two today. RD2/D1 - i already "over ate", but i'm plowing through. i'll get to do total body tonight after the kids go to bed. very excited to get going. i've calculated that i can do 2 rounds before vacation. bring it on!!!0
-
Doodle, my eating is off too. I'm getting hungrier as the days go on, despite a generous allowance of 1800cal/day. Are you going to try to stick to the plan, or just do your own thing? I'm thinking of doing mostly Autumn's plan with some modification. After all, I'm not participating in a bikini contest, lol.
I've been eating 1/3 protein, 1/3 fat, 1/3 carbs and I'm tired. Maybe ill bump up my carbs.0 -
@walkdmc - I'm totally planning on sticking with the containers, but I'm also a really bad stress eater, so sometimes I eat way too much during the work day. Made this awesome Thai salad that had 6 servings, and i ate FOUR of them just today. It's my Bain.
But I'm not going to use that as an excuse to "start tomorrow", I'm just going to keep today as day one and deal with it.0 -
Did Total Cardio Fix plus two 30 Day Shred workouts0

^^great job!0

@dkwi04 Don't be jealous of my morning. I wish I had a job so I didn't have so much free time. Believe me. A steady income would be a lot more fun than spending most of my day trying to find a job.
I'm glad your husband liked the recipe. It was definitely a winner for me and mine. 0 -
Cardio fix done!
And I'm starting to get sick. Stupid scratchy throat. I hope it's nothing - but in preparation for getting sick I decided now was the time to push myself....so I decided to try out Plyo fix extreme after my cardio fix. Ouchy! But it was fun and I'm glad I did it :-). Makes me look forward to starting the extreme in a couple weeks.
Now I'm off to clean up and go to bed, gotta rest up in hopes I can keep the sickness away0 -
I had my sons Cub Scout award ceremony tonight and would have loved to come home and just vegged but instead I pushed PLAY on the evenings workout Pilates Fix. 0
-
@mrsewert - great job!
Day one done. I didn't do well in the food department, but i pushed play. I'm going to hurt tomorrow! 0 -
@doodlebug32 How do you feel today??0
-
Great thank you! I weighed myself this morning and i'm heading in the right direction doing better with eating this morning, and hoping to keep it going for the rest of the day. I have to do my workout on my lunch break (working from home today) because I'm flying out for business this evening after dinner.
I'm going to have to do lower fix with no weights tomorrow because I'll be in a hotel room oh well. 0 -
Do you have a resistance band?0
-
@doodlebug32 From personal experience, you can absolutely get a solid workout using no weights. Just focus on the muscle groups you're working. For instance, in the sumo squats with the shoulder lift, you just want to bring the elbows high enough and back a bit so you really feel the move in your shoulders. It's amazing what an isometric squeeze can do towards overall conditioning!
Morning Workout
21 Day Fix Upper Fix
For Round 3 I have increased my weights to 5 & 8 lbs but hadn't made it through an entire workout using the 8 lbs. Surprise! I was able to do it today. Now if only I could do pushups! I tend to just do push-outs because, to be fair, I am also doing PiYo and Chalene LOOOOOOVES tricep pushups so I try not to burn myself out on pushups in 21DF so I still have a little left over for PiYo.
PiYo Sweat
Definitely doing better on most of the workout but still not keeping up on the . . . you guessed it . . . pushups. I will, someday, on my knees and maybe someday on my toes. For now, I'm progressing slooooowly and that's okay.0 -
Thanks for the reminder @dkwi04 ! ! I DO have a resistance band! Totally packing it now
RD2/D2: in the month since I did round 1, I forgot how much I love this program. I think I'm going g to do the two rounds before vacation, and then order extreme. I just have to remember to take it one day at a time, one pound at a time.0 -
Did upper fix today. I've been slacking on the doubling up lately but I started PiYo sculpt right after! I only got half way through it before baby woke up from her nap though. Husband is back on nights tonight so will be easier to get an evening workout in without him here, hehe.

My friend ordered the 21DF extreme by mistake so I gave her my 21DF and she gave me her extreme. I like the challenge, but lower fix was really tough this morning! I do like how she does drop sets and adds in the resistance band though
0 -
D13/R1 Extreme, Dirty 30 done! I really wanted to skip today and I believe the only reason I didn't is because it's a 30 minute workout. Everyone has 30 minutes, no excuses. I'm so glad I just sucked it up and did it.
Y'all are making me want PiYo. I have Chalene's first Turbo Jam and liked it and I like the 21DFX Yoga workout.
I'm doing my own thing for the diet, trying to eat well, balanced and logging it here. I'm a binge eater and was starting to feel urges to binge on junk I think due to the constrictions of the Extreme plan. No fault of the plan, just me.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Round 3 day 10
I'm sick! Stupid head cold. I pushed through yesterday after I took a nap - did upper fix and 10 min abs. I missed a couple containers though :-(.
I'm off work today, I was planning it - but doesn't it figure in sick. I'm hoping to go for a run and get lower fix in and then nap until I have to get the kids.
But my scale loved me today0 -
Everyone
My laptop is being sent back to Dell for repairs. I'm on my old laptop which is very slow and funky. I won't be online as much simply because I prefer to avoid frustration and using this laptop results in nothing but frustration. However, I'll check in daily because I'll still be pushing play. Please forgive me if that's all I do for now. I promise to be back in full force soon.
Round 4 Day 3
21 Day Fix Lower Body
I wish my knees woud allow me to go deeper because I am not really feeling this workout like I did when I first started. I'm sweating so I know I'm working but I don't get the same muscle fatigue as I used to. I've increased my weights. Right now my arms can't handle more so I'm just going to have to build up to heavier weights eventually.
Week 7 of 8
PiYo Core
I am soooo much closer to getting through this without missing a beat. Any . . . day . . . now.
Day 1 Carb Cycling
Because I was gaining weight during my last round of 21 Day Fix, my coach suggested I try carb cycling. Yesterday was my first day officially doing it. Yesterday was also not a good food day for me. Very distracted (aka stressed) and I forgot to eat so grabbed a shake instead. Twice. I love to cook and prefer to chew so you can imagine how distracted I was if I forgot to eat more than once!!!
Anyway, Day 1 results: I gained 0.8 lb.

Lost all the bloat weight from Chinese food, beer and pizza on the long weekend. Going to do Upper Fix today and 30 Day Shred. Was going to add Lower Fix but I'm going to be playing basketball later today so I think adding in the Lower Fix will be overkill0
-
Restarted and completed PiYo sculpt last night. That's ones tough on the legs! And today was lower fix lol brutal. Got it done though. Hoping to do another PiYo workout tonight or maybe some bike time...or both...hrm.
Hope you feel better @dkwi04
I can understand your frustration @SatiaRenee . Hopefully it won't take too long to fix.
Way to go @dixiewhiskey ! Your posts are inspiring:)0 -
Satia, are you a daily weigher? If so, would you consider weighing in weekly at least while you adjust your diet?
Congrats on being >.< this close to finishing PiYo Core.0 -
Pilates Extreme this AM. Thought the resistance band was going to fly across the room a couple times...

RD2/D3. Didn't get to work out because I couldn't get up early enough (I'm on travel and did not get to my hotel until midnight last night)... and I'm not getting home until 10 tonight - I'm really going to try to double up tomorrow, but I may have to do them b2b tomorrow night.
I also over ate today. I'll pick back up tomorrow. No use crying over it.0 -
Round 2/Day 17, lower body fix, thinking about doing round 3 but adding another workout in addition to the 21 day fix. I love the workouts, 30 minutes & you're done. I can't wait to start up my 5 mile weekend power walks again, it's been raining for the last three weekends.0
