Looking for some input: I have a cookout tomorrow and while I will do my best to watch my portions, I know I will cheat a little. Tomorrow's workout for me is Yoga Fix and I don't foresee burning a ton of calories so I was thinking of maybe doing an extra cardio workout. Thoughts?0
-
Ab fix (first time) and yoga fix complete...*ack* I can tell that I was not following the workouts like I was supposed to last week. - woke up this morning and decided that I had no excuse to NOT workout today..getting it done! - or at least trying to. Today is going to be a good day!0

Hey Everyone!
Back from my trip and scared to see what the scale says tomorrow morning. My jeans were a little loose throughout the trip so I'm not too worried. I can't possibly have eaten the way I did and not have gained some weight and that's okay. I had an amazing time.
Starting Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution and PiYo so I don't know if I'll be checking in here daily or not. I know we've discussed possibly creating an OT thread. Since I won't be doing either 21DF or 21DFX I don't know. Anyway, I had a fantabulous time and my husband and I are now planning a trip for late September / early October. I have 11 weeks to lose the weight I probably gained on my vacation and a few more pounds on top of that.
Taking a new round of before pics, stats, and getting ready for another hard push to get it going! So glad to be home, too!0 -
@SatiaRenee so glad you had a great trip!! What did your family think of your awesome new shape?0
-
Welcome back @SatiaRenee. I'm sure your trip was amazing. Who's jaw dropped the most when they saw the new you?

Today I will officially start the 1st round of 21 day fix. I been reading the book and looked up a bunch of things on pintrest and I think I'm ready to give it a shot.0

@lisyg3737 welcome, very exciting! Post any questions here, we are happy to help.0
-
@lisyg3737 Please post any questions if you have them! I've already finished 21 Day Fix and definitely saw a difference in energy and in my eating choices. The shakeology definitely helps too, I love that stuff!0

@jpkrueger and @germany03 Yes, they saw it immediately! Rob insisted that I save some of my before/after pics on my phone so I could show them to my mother. She was so impressed, she tried to order the program. I watched her place the order and I even verified it with my coach. So imagine my surprise when my mother received 21 Day Fix Extreme. Not happy. Doubly not happy that beachbody says it will take 1-2 weeks after they receive the return to give my mother's credit card reimbursement. Not cool.
But she gave me some cash and I'll place her order again and hopefully there won't be any confusion the second time around. To thank my coach for all she's done for me thus far, I'm going to place one more order through her because my step-father was so impressed, he gave me some money to buy myself another program as well. Can you say Brazil Butt Lift?

@satiarenee that's awesome. Sounds like a great family support system you have there ...to bad your mom's order was jacked up. I'm sure she would have LOVED to start it with you there for show and tell.
Walked 1.25 miles during lunch today...it's nice to do something for yourself that's good for you.0 -
Didn't realize how long it's been since I checked in here. The last few weeks have been hectic with my business but for the next several weeks I'm not as busy. I made it thru my first 2 rounds of 21DF easily but I tried starting round 3 three times and each time I got sick in the first week. Turns out I had a nasty sinus infection that would get worse when my allergies would flare up. I lost my voice twice since end of may and didn't get it back 100% until a few days ago. Lost my sense of smell twice. Doctor put me on antibiotic and claritin. Haven't had much appetite and had trouble exercising since I couldn't breathe for several weeks. I'm feeling about 90% better. We leave for vacation for a week on Saturday and we have a RV so I plan on bringing my containers and packing healthy food. I haven't gained any weight since ending round 2...actually lost 2 more pounds from lack of appetite...so I'll start fresh with the DVD's when I get back. I'm sure we will be doing lots of walking on vacation so that will help. I'll try to check in periodically 0

I officially started on Monday. I did the Total Body Cardio Fix and wow it was tough! I did the Upper Fix yesterday morning and started today off with Pilates. I wanted to do Lower Fix today instead of Pilates, but OMG my legs are still killing me from Monday's workout! I can barely walk down the steps, let alone do squats lol!
I loved the Total Body Cardio Fix workout and it really challenged me. The portions are actually much bigger than the containers look...I felt so full after last night's dinner.
I already feel like I have a lot more energy and I have been waking up early to do my workouts in the mornings. I'm not doing the Shakeology part, but I have worked some protein shakes into my breakfast rotation. I just make it with yogurt, protein powder, (a dab of) peanut butter, and fruit so it really isn't even a shake, but I drink it through a straw :-P0 -
Thanks @jpkrueger - I think so too!0

Welcome back @cupcake570 Glad you are starting to feel better. Proud of you for being able to keep the weight loss going even though you were not able to stick with the program.
@jcraig10 I know reading it it will make no sence because it is totally counter intuitive but I actually felt better at the end of lower fix than at the beginning...and trust me I could hardly wobble up and down our stairs the day after my first workout.lol...I say wobble because you definitly can not call it walking the way I went up the stairs lol
Need some ambition to press play today - we'll see what happens...going on Vacay *whoop whoop* in less than two weeks and hope I'm not going to undo all I have worked for. - going to good old Deutschland @jpkrueger you know how that goes with all the food ...haha. 0 -
@germany03 oh boy you'd better starve now so you can pig out there, haha! Auflauf!!! Brötchen all day long!!!! Bier!!! lol I'll stop now0
-
So I decided to do a little experiment. First round I ate full sized salads and my bathroom habits were regular. Second round, I dropped down to half size salads, and...not so much. I'm 3 days into round 3, have eaten 3 full size salads...and regular again.
Hopefully that will translate into bigger losses on the scale/measuring tape. I probably won't see a loss til early next week because of water retention from my workouts. DOMS suck, and I have bonus soreness from slipping and falling in the mud yesterday while I was taking the trash out.0 -
@germany03 you're right - lower Fix wasn't as bad as I expected this morning...although I could have gotten a little lower in my squats and lunges, but I will save that for next week, I suppose! It felt so good to stretch these legs out! And I know what you mean with the wobble LOL - I have to walk down about 40 steps to get to my office in the morning and it definitely took me longer than usual these past few days!!
Day 4! I woke up and busted out Lower Fix this morning...packed my lunch and got my day started. I weighed myself today and was down 1 pound! I went to my grandmother's last night for her birthday and my mom and aunt were there. They all ordered pizza and ate cheesecake. I didn't give in...and I was so proud of myself - those are two of my favorite things! After I got home from that, I ate dinner (chicken wrapped in a WW tortilla) and then did the 10 Minute Ab Fix..WHEW! AUTUMN! What a burn. I have my first dress fitting for my wedding dress next week so I'm really trying to be strict about what I am eating. And I do have a wedding to go to this weekend so I know that will be my day that I might not do so well with the eating portion of this. I have a horseback riding lesson tonight so bonus calories burned 0 -
@sarahrbraun . ..good for you to figgure out your metab. like that. Sorry to hear about your fall, hope you are not hurt too badly
@jcraig10 you are doing awesome...wedding or not that cheesecake would half been mine..lol kudos to you for sticking to your guns
@jpkrueger I'm already scared of what I will do to myself..lol..I'm going to try hard to show some restraint
So for today it's pretty much a done deal - my eye hurts so I know I have a migraine comming - blaah. Time to take some mess and try to get some shut eye for a while.0 -
@germany03- basically just a tender tailbone, and a few scratches on my palm0

Day 5! almost through the 1st week Started my day out with Cardio Fix. UGH. I can't even explain how much I hate cardio. I probably could have done better, but with my riding lesson last night - I was just TIRED. But I did it anyway. Fridays are usually our nights to go out to eat, but we are sticking to our guns here and eating dinner at home...planning on having some turkey meatballs and whole wheat pasta.
wanted to share this recipe that I found online & tried last night. They are really good!
Banana pancakes
oatmeal (1Y)
1/2 banana (1P)
2 eggs (1R)
Dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract
1 tsp honey
1. Blend oatmeal until flour-like (I put it in my nutribullet)
2. Add eggs, banana, cinnamon & vanilla and blend until mixed (again, used my nutribullet)
3. Heat skillet
4. 4 pancakes per serving (I didn't quite get that many)
5. Drizzle with honey0 -
My first time doing pilates yesterday and let me tell it was hard. I'm not to sure how many workouts I screwed up. Today is day 5 of the fix and I do feel more energized..0
-
Day 6 here today. I started out my day with Dirty 30. I really liked this workout. Then my dog and I hit the trails and did a little walking/jogging...just about 2 miles on this hot day. Heading to a wedding tonight so I wont be the best with my dinner meal but I will try my best 0
-
Day 7! I did well actually with dinner last night and only had a few drinks. Then I danced all night long to burn off those extra calories and didn't gain any weight yay! Yoga day today. 0
