80 Day Obsession Day 27

I know that I was gonna post every 10 days but according to the program Phase 2 begins on day 27 which technically is tomorrow (we don't count Sunday, which is a rest day).  So I got jipped on 3 days and this week sucked.  Besides my toe fiasco I also had two dinners to go to.  One on Friday night and one last night.  Ugh.  I ate pretty good but I know it was more than I usually do, even though I skipped my 3:00 meal to compensate (not even sure if I was supposed to do that!)  Anyways, I hope day 40 will show better results.  IT BETTER!! grrrr

That stoopid fold is still there on my left side.  I just wish it would go away already!!

Weight:  -1 (total 4)

Body Fat: - 1% 

Chest:  Ok I just figured out that I was measuring this wrong the whole time.  I was supposed to measure under my arm pit, not where my bra is (like normal people do!) So I'm gonna have 2 measurements from now on.  39"/34" (no change)

Waist:  35" (-2")

Hips: 46" (-1")

Right leg: 24" (no change)

Left leg:  24" (no change)

Right arm: 13.5" (no change)

Left arm: 13.5" (no change)

On a Happier Note...

This past weekend I took Ailey's Christmas card pics.  I love this little girl, she's always so much fun!

FML......

Ok, so yesterday was rubbish day.  Just as I was going to my car I noticed that the rubbish man already came so I went to take the gray bin back to it's spot in the garage.  I went to spin it to park it and I RAN OVER MY FREAKIN BABY TOE.  HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIT (please excuse my language) but it hurt!!!  Realllllly bad.  I figure, eh, I can deal with it, so I hopped in my car and drove to work.  I got to the parking structure and started walking and it was THROBBING.  I was hobbling up to my office bitching to myself for being so stupid.  So I did my portagee first aid and practically sat at my desk all day. (yah yah, don't mind the nail polish, I gotta take if off but I keep forgetting, plus I'm lazy.  The glitter kind takes forever to remove!)

It was pretty funny.  I couldn't hold it any other way!! It was in an irritating spot, but it worked well.  The pain was fine as the ice numbed it but once the numbness went away it was sore again.  I was worried I may have broke the stupid thing.  

It kinda felt better by the end of the day so I figure I'd just sleep on it overnight and see how it felt in the morning.  I woke up feelling good!  It was sore but nothing like yesterday.  UNTIL MATTIE STEPPED ON MY TOE.  ARRGHGHGHGHGHGHGGH.  I did some meditational breathing because I knew today was cardio day and it was gonna be rough.  I sucked it up and started my workout.  I had to do a lot of the "modified" versions of the exercises today which kinda sucked cause I normally can do the regular ones.  

After I was pau I took off my shoes and socks and noticed this...

No wonder da buggah was so sore!

On the brighter side, I treated myself to some new workout shoes cause mines was super old and I kinda don't like them.  Go figure.  They arrived the day I smooshed my toe.  I ordered two, just in case I didn't like one, and I can always return it to Nordstrom Rack for free. I was only gonna keep one but I kinda like both and they were on sale so what the heck.  It's a sympathy purchase for my injury :-) Did I tell you they were on sale?!? BONUS! (I just need justification for my purchase...)

**UPDATE**
So I came to work today and was showing off my beautiful feet when I noticed it looks uglier now.  So just to brighten your day, here's my lovely toes!

BACHI!

This is what happens when I bitch and whine about these damn loops.  Look what happened today...

 I was so pissed off and was so frustrated cause I just couldn't get them to stay on flat.  I finally gave up and changed my pants.  You know how frickin hard it is to put on a new pair of pants when you're all sweaty??  It's like a whole other workout!!  *$*&#!!  #*&$&!

And then this happens...

So yah, that one ended up in the rubbish can.  No can use um anymore.  Good thing I ordered another set the other day, it was bound to happen.  I guess I'll just have to deal without it until

 it comes in.  It should come in sometime this week

ARGHGHGHGHGHHHHHHH

These Damn Compression Loops

I have a love/hate relationship with these damn loops.  They are great for the exercises, they make them much harder due to how tight they are. 

yellow = easiet

green = medium

blue = tightest

But they keep rolling on me and it's sooooooo IRRITATING!!! They give you two sets of loops when you buy the program.  9" for the normal people and 12" for people with fat legs (like me) or if you're tall, like 5'10" or bigger.  I noticed that the 12" don't give enough resistance so I force myself to use the 9" ones.  This is what it's supposed to look like, and your butt feels like it's on fire when it works right

Then for some exercises we double up to make it harder and then this happens.  The damn bands start to dig into your legs and it hurts!  I swear I have to pause the video so many times so I can fix the stupid things that I end up adding another 10 mins to my workout.  I'm sitting there sweating and swearing at 5 in the morning cause I can't get the damn things to stay on right.  It's so frustrating!!!  It doesn't even look that bad in the picture.  It rolls more than that when I'm actually in an exercise so it digs in more.

Ok. done venting for today.  It's my rest day so I was able to sleep in so I'm happy.

80 Day Obsession Day 20

Ok, so here's my "quit your whining" post...It's been 20 days since I started this and I was hoping for more dramatic results.  I know they keep saying don't compare yourself to anyone else but I'm calling bulls%*t.  I've been getting up at 4 in the morning, keeping with my diet and you can barely even tell.
I hear phase 2 (which starts on day 27) is a killer and you're supposed to really see results then.
We shall see......

Ok here it goes.  I had to wear different clothes so I could put my side by side together more easily.

You can only really tell from the back.  That fold on the left is finally getting a little smaller.  I SWEAR IT SHOULD BE GONE BY NOW!!  

These measurements are compared to day 1

Weight -3 lbs (REALLY?!? THAT'S IT???)

Body fat  -.5% (WTH?!?! I WENT UP 2%!) ARGHGHGHGHGGH

Chest 34" (-1")

Waist 36" ('1")

Hip 46" (-1")

Left Thigh 24" (hmmm I wonder if I measured wrong last week.  Went up .5")

Right thigh 24" (no change)

Arms - no change

80 Day Obsession Day 10

Not much change, which is kind of annoying to me cause I seem to be busting my butt and staying away from chocolate (and it's almost Halloween!!!!).  But I guess I can't complain since it's only been 10 days.  I know I just started but I hoped to see a little bit more difference.

I must say though, I do feel stronger.  Today was cardio day and last week when I did it I thought I was gonna puke.  I felt horrible all day.  Today I feel fine.  Yay me!  I think I just had to get used to eating breakfast and then working out right after.  I never used to do that.

Anyways, here's my horrible updated pics.  Sheesh I gotta wear something different next time.  It was hard to figure out which day was which on my phone!

Yah, I gotta figure out where to stand.  I need to put a mark on my floor or something!

Weight:  no change

Chest:  34.5 (-.5")

Waist: no change

Hips:  no change

Left thigh: 23.5 (-.5")

Right thigh:  no change (wth?? i'm gonna be lopsided!)

Arms: no change

Body fat:  -2.5%

What is 80 Day Obsession?

You can go here to read all about it.  It's pretty interesting if you're into working out and want to learn about timed nutrition

The containers may seem small but they hold kind of a lot.  I put the egg there so you can see about how big they are

This is one serving of veggies and protein.  And that's not it!  Sometimes you add in a carb and a fruit!  I usually add in some sweet potato but I ran out so Randy is grabbing me some when he comes home from surfing :)

You need to eat every few hours so I am definitely not hungry throughout the day.  I actually skipped a meal here and there because I really didn't feel like eating.  They say it's a no-no but I know I would've felt miserable if I did.  And I can eat carbs!!  It's a small container but hey it's better than nothing!!

I'm trying not to weigh or measure myself until every 10 days.  I know i'll get pissed if I lose a pound one day and then gain it back another.  It's killing me cause I usually hop on there just as a habit because it's sitting in my kitchen...staring at me....
