21 Day Fix: Week 3, Day 7

Today is the final day of round 1 of 21 Day Fix. I am pleased with the results. They say lose up to 15 lbs in 21 days. I would have been happy with that. I lost 20 lbs. I am ecstatic with that. 20 lbs in less than one month. If I had lost one more pound, that would have been 7 lbs a week. 2 to 4 lbs a week is great, but 7 is ridiculous. 296 to 276 in 3 weeks. The least amount of weight I have been since around 1995 or 1994. I feel pretty good, but my feet still hurt after being on them all day/night at work. I think that will never change haha.

Today I just did Yoga Fix as this is the one recovery day. I say Pilates Fix is an active recovery day as well. It is mainly abs. I like it and am getting used to it. I still have to finish off my pushups as well. I think I am going to stop doing the challenges for a little while and focus on healing my joints. My elbows mostly have been bothering me and while abs don't bother my elbows, the pushups are starting to. I am no spring chicken and doing workouts is ok as long as I allow those areas to rest properly. I do not want to have issues that require longer lapses in all workouts. I have done well with the pushups and the 3 monthly challenges for the most part. The workouts I am doing daily along with yoga is enough and while I want to add more biking and running into the mix, I have to set my priorities on what is most important. If I had all day like I did to do stuff, no big deal, but now I need to manage my time better. Things in my life are going to be changing, for the better mind you, but changing none the less.

The results were not expected, but very pleasing. I hope that I can continue on this path, probably not at this rate, but this path regardless. I have a goal of 235 lbs by November. If I can focus in on these workouts and nail down my nutrition for 6 more weeks, I think I can be at goal weight by the middle of June. I was shooting for August as my early date. I think I can crush that number. It will take work and dedication, both of which I am willing to put in. I need to nap before work, so I will finish this off with my transition pics from the 21 Day Fix.
