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?

Good thinking ahead @Ruby782. Doubling up can't hurt.

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!

Welcome back @SatiaRenee. I'm sure your trip was amazing. Who's jaw dropped the most when they saw the new you?

@lisyg3737 welcome, very exciting! Post any questions here, we are happy to help.

@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?

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

@jcraig10 sounds like an awesome start!!!!

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.

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.
