It's not all about numbers (A Good Reminder...)
crossingtheasymptote:
*Rant ahead*
This is something I’m having a hard time reminding myself. It’s not about the numbers on the scale, it’s about so much more than that.
It’s about waking up every morning knowing that you’re going to make the most out of it
It’s about looking at yourself in the mirror, seeing little difference, and still putting on running shoes to go out
It’s about fighting...

Merry Christmas
So even though the past 2 days have been filled with treats, but I’ve actually been pretty good.
Friday was a ton of baking, but I didn’t graze and pick too much along the way. Definitely not like the old days. And then we went to a Brazilian Steakhouse for dinner and it was amazing. Again, indulged the right amount and sampled delicious meats, but had great stuff at the salad bar....
I'm wearing size 10 jeans and a medium jacket
Yes, they’re Gap and no, I don’t care
Sitting on my couch for MNF
… a lot warmer than working concessions at TCF Stadium like I was originally supposed to. A couple guys still went out.
A lack of liquor license took the scale way down and I wasn’t called out anymore.
Instead I have my glass of wine and am content here.
Have a date with JM after the game!

30DS Overload?
So 12 hours later (after work again) I did another session of the Shred. This time I stepped it up to Level 2. It was very needed as I found the answer to this.
Clearly it was time for a change, and L2 is just more active and requires more just everything than L1 did, and I think it’ll take longer for it to get boring, which hopefully will mean I’ll be on to L3 by then.
It...

Shredded Twice in the Last 12 hours
Last night after work, then just finished now before work.
Trying to make up for my lack of commitment and just sporaidc doses during this past week.
How are you people not so intensely bored by the...

The lady at the post office yesterday did a double take on my ID when I was paying yesterday.
She started to give it back, took it back, looked again, and said “Wow - you’ve lost a lot of weight”

2am
I got home from work.
I realised over the course of today that I didn’t have that constant burning sensation in my legs.
This is of course due to the lack of facetime I’ve had with JM lately. Definitely not daily.
I’m already in PJs (aka braless) and I couldn’t be bothered to put one on, so the cardio portion was out. But who needs a bra to do abs?
So I started there...

I haven't done the 30DS since Friday
And I have absolutely zero desire to do it right now. I just don’t want to.
10:25a Update: Yes, I did it. Now I’m showered, eating breakfast, and ready to head off to work…

Yes? Or No?
Can’t decide if today was a success or a fail, and I’m trying not to judge by the scale, but we’ll see.
It was an interesting day to say the least… More details to come… Good Night for now
Dilemma
I’ve been sitting/standing in my kitchen for seriously 20 minutes trying to decide what I want for dinner…
I mean, what I want is Thai or Chinese, but the dilemma is, is it worth it?

Gym Suit Up!
Home from work kind of early, so I decided I am going to Zumba in the morning.
I have seriously missed it recently.
I have still been awful about getting up in the morning, so I’m dressed now (sleeping in my clothes), gym bag packed, with clothes to change into at work.
Good thing about a Soccer Stadium in the off season? Does it matter if I work 11-7 instead of 9-5? Not really! Friday...
Ughhhhhh
So my GM wanted me to experiment with how we made our Cheese Steak sandwiches, what kind of cheese to use, etc.
So another guy and I did.
I feel like I could puke. There were a few unnecessary fries in there when I made a batch for my boss.
It wasn’t even quantity as much as quality when I haven’t had anything greasy in at least a week (I think even more, but I honestly can’t...

Try it Anyway?
My stomach has been all over the place today. Earlier today, I was so cold and hungry, I was literally shaking that I had to stop working and go get lunch.
But now, a couple hours after eating, my stomach is so off I really feel like I could throw up.
It’s time to do the Shred, but even though working out of some form will usually make you feel better, but jumping and the Shred just...
Plank immediately after 30DS?
I may have collapsed after 45 seconds….
No shred I can do over a minute. Should get this get back…..

WHY AM I STILL HUNGRY? ?
/end rant
I still don’t like that WW eTools automatically takes weekly points before the activity points. In my mind, I should use the activity points earned that day before I touch on the weekly points.
Just me…

I'm late to the party...
But jumping on the bandwagon for this 30 Day Shred….
And I might die before I finish this. I might have wimpered through part of this work out… Not a good sign for Day 2, but I still went out walking around a new part of neighborhood for 2 hours, even though my thighs were periodically burning…
It’s something that needs to be done

Um. The first day doing the 30 day shred?
It’s hard.
Not impossible by any means. but it’s hard.
Mostly in the the arm strength stuff, surprise surprise. That’s what motivated me to get this though. I do decent on cardio (except not in the past 2 weeks……………. at all……) but regardless of all the chatter on here about strength training and how anyone can do it, until someone tells...
I felt the pull. I bought the 30DS today...
In Between Glasses of Moscato...
I did 2 sets of planks (60 secs + 30 secs), bicep curls, another arm thing from a dvd I don’t know what they’re called, 10x weighted lunges each leg, and 10x weighted squats each leg.
In the middle of my cozied up night with Moscato and He’s Just Not That Into You.
Unheard of, but thanks for the idea friends…
Now I’m back under the blanket with my wine. Thinking...

Eats & Weights
12.01 WiW
I’m currently hovering around 175. Yesterday I saw a crazy low of 174.0 (I’ve actually seen some version of that a couple times this week) then I knowingly stuffed my face yesterday. I was prepping my last plate of Thanksgiving left overs and had one too many side spoonfuls. Very a la old me… Then I threw everything away (besides my sandwich…)
And I ate too much of...

cold weather running →
I did enjoy running in the cooler evenings. I should do it again. Minimal evenings free makes it challenging.
So do all the excuses I come up with.
I’m seriously in danger of becoming a “Fat Skinny” if I don’t work on this. I’m still losing weight, but feel uber flabby all the time.
Stop being an idiot.
