Weight: 256
Was actually doing well, but then school ended and with an overcrowded house most days, as well as Mommy Taxi, the working out fell to the wayside.
Sound familiar?
School started for the youngest today, and got in Jillian's Kickbox Fast Fix workouts 1 & 2, then Rainman came home (half day) so #3 has to wait.
Love love loved this one- this is a keeper!
I'm a sweaty happy mess right now, just waiting for the sweat to slow down so I can shower.
And, Jillian's coming back to The Biggest Loser, which may make it watchable again
Also, found the funniest weight loss blog and a great supportive Facebook group: Mama Laughlin .
This woman is bawdy, total potty mouth, funny as hell, and just such a sweet person.
Go read her. :)
Shower time.

Balance
I am not going to weigh myself for a little bit (another week or so), because while I've gone down two sizes in pants, the last time I weighed myself I gained a pound, and it made me so pissed I said screw the healthy eating, and binged.
Still doing a Turbofire/JM revolution hybrid, but I find myself happy when it's time to do Turbofire, and with a huge dread factor when it comes to do the JM.
Not that the Rev workouts aren't effective, it's just doing the same two workouts over and over makes me crazy bored.
Friday, did the turbofire abs workout that was scheduled, but then it was time for the scheduled stretch and I did maybe ten minutes and just couldn't force myself to finish it.
At all.
And could not stomach Jillian either.
I ended up doing Firm Classics Volume One with Susan Harris.
Oh yes, this made me sweat and made me feel good.
I can not believe this workout used to be a breeze, with 20 pound ankle weights the only thing that made me sweat.
I didn't even think about using ankle weights, and the poundage never made it above 15, but oh yes, this is the reason why I fell in love with working out way back.
The killer floor work had me dripping sweat onto the mat.
Yesterday, did the scheduled Turbofire 45 class, and grabbed Bodystrikes with Ilaria.
The first made me sweat, and made my calorie monitor happy, and the second made me smile, getting me back to my TKD state of mind.
Going to try to keep sticking firmly to Turbofire, and mix in Firm Classics as the second workout, but not going to beat myself up over not being able to do the same JM over and over.

Back on the workout wagon
Weight : 258
As usual, I have been focusing on taking care of everyone but me, and when I do take care of me, it's with food.
Yesterday, pulled out the Turbofire set I got awhile back, and did the Fire 30 set +stretch.
Like it always seems to, the workout seemed to make eating healthier a little easier, and I kept to my calorie goal (way under, actually).
Today, did the scheduled HIIT class, and it was only 15 minutes, and while it was fun, it was 15 minutes.
I pulled out Jillian Micheal's Revolution, and did the 30 minute first day.
I felt good, and was going to do the recommended first week second workout cardio, but I really hate doing the same instructor one after the other, so I did Kelly Coffey Meyer's TLC boxing workout (30 minutes).
While I feel sore and sweaty, my calorie burn is very disappointing.
I just burn less calories than other people, I know this, but it sucks.
I do love exercise, and always forget just how good it feels when the endorphins are flowing, but it always seems that I have to go hard, long, and heavy, while others do a third with better results.
Just started two 90 day rotations, going to see how this goes.
Being fat is just too hard.
