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.

Things sort of went to Hell

Well, I was doing relatively well, started Jillian Michael's Shred (hard but I love it) Turbojam (not so hard but goes by fast and the music rocks), and then my Bodymedia strap broke.

And like a Skinner rat, without the reward of seeing my calorie burn, and the accountability of recording my calories, out went the weight loss effort.

And even with a ridiculous UPS fee, it took forever for the straps to come.

As a gift, I got Turbofire, and a friend who's lost well over 100 pounds with it assures me that I am going to "love love love TurboFire!".

Not sure of my weight exactly, I think it's creeped back up to 254, but I've been avoiding the scale.

Tomorrow, starting the 90 day TurboFire plan.

Something has to work.
