I'm going to try to follow it, with breaks in between, so it will take me longer than 21 days, but at least I'm trying. You can check in with me if you want. Sorry to hijack your thread, dc2london! |

I think I’m also going to start the 21 day fix. I want to do the 80 day obsession but I usually only have 30 minutes to work out, if I can at all. Do you mind if we combine into an Autumn Calabrese workout thread?

I found some knock-off containers at Kohls so now I only need sliders and I will be all set in that regard.

For my pre workout snack I mashed up avocado with a little bit of goat cheese, spread it on toasted Ezekiel bread with lemon juice and pepper and a little bit of hemp seeds. Paired it with a side of sauteed spinach and coconut water. It was quite tasty.

I found all of the information to be a bit overwhelming. I will admit that I didn't really have time this weekend to prepare because life was crazy, so I am feeling like I have to play catch-up a bit. I just printed everything out and kind of skimmed over everything. I used the containers to pack my lunch/snacks and I think I actually like them (I was on the fence about buying them). My biggest weakness BY FAR is sugar, and I have to say, that today I am doing okay.

Workout One is in the books. I liked the structure of the work out and I really liked the way the bands add another dimension to the moves.
Unfortunately, while I was working out, C got into the coffee and ATE SOME OF IT.
But whatever. Workout one is done!

I thought day 1 of the 21 day fix was hard. I'm really feeling it. I'm kind of glad I started out with a shorter one.

I'm doing 80 day obsession alternating with the treadmill so it will take me through the end of the year. I started last week but only did one day because I had two days of running, one kickboxing class and 1 rest day before my 5k on Saturday). Sunday was a rest day and today was running so tomorrow I'm doing day 2 haha.
I'm on vacation and I brought my sliders and bands and I'm hoping the hotel gym has a decent set of weights.

Day 1 complete. The bands I got suck so I am thinking about ordering the bands they are using if I am going to be in this for the long haul. I had to modify some moves (planks and pushups) since I am still rehabbing my right pectoral. I did tricep dips off my bench instead of the tricep push-up.
I also didn't have any sugar today!!! Go me!!

Go me!! I had to modify a fair amount bc side planks hurt my wrists like crazy. I have tiny pathetic wrists and they're super sensitive. |

I’m glad it’s not just me! I thought I must be very out of shape but then I was describing it to my BIL who was a personal trainer and he said it was intense. |

I ordered the bands and sliders from Amazon like the sheep that I am. I think tomorrow I might skip ahead and do legs since that workout only requires hand weights.

I did Day 1 of 80 day obsession. I didn't do the meal plan, but I might look into trying it out next week.
I could stand to lose some fat, but really I'm in this to build muscle.

Raise your hand if you're sore today. I'm not as sore as I feared I might be (hello 30 tricep pushups) but I know leg day will do me in and I'm already planning a soak in some epsom salts after the workout. |

I'm still doing P90X+, in my last month. I think I'm going to do another round of P90X when I'm done. I wasn't impressed with +. Eventually I want to buy P90X2, and I have Body Beast coming up in a few months too. I love Beachbody programs.

I looked at her meal timing plan and laughed. I'd need to get up an 4am or stay up until midnight to follow the timing.
I need to be out of the house at 7:30 am and I can't do this until the kids go to bed after 8pm.
I might look at the plan and just try to restrict my calories. I'm not buying the containers, I'll just use a kitchen scale I already own.

I'm not buying the containers, I'll just use a kitchen scale I already own. The important thing here is that you are eating the right combination of macronutrients, and eating small meals every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism fired. I don't have all the time in the world either. Yesterday I had a protein shake, some cantaloupe, and 12 almonds at 4:20pm,and started my workout at 4:50. It's fine. You don't need to be that exact. |

I'm literally so sore I can't even function. I can't walk up and down the stairs, I can't clean my house, I have no clue how I'm going to do laundry. I think I need to do an easier one than the 21 day fix. Unless you guys think it'll get better in a day or two. I can't sacrifice the cleanliness of my house, lol.
Eta. I have a foam roller and that has helped a little, but not enough
