So maybe I'm cheating a bit to much

 

And maybe just maybe it's been a little more than one per week. 😕

My blood sugars have been about 10 points higher than I'd like them to be, overall. I mean I've had some readings under 100, which is great, but some fasting sugars over 110, which isn't good at all. 

And it all comes down to this.  Cheating with to much food, to often.  Sigh. The scale is also not moving.  Good it's not going up, bad it's not going down.  So again, cheating to much.

So time to have a little talk with myself, and get back to counting my macros.  I started today.  It sucks that I have to really pay attention to what I eat, how much I eat, what kind of foods I eat, but it is what it is.

I've also been having fun getting back into my Cathe workouts, and getting back into spinning.  Ok, maybe I've only done 2 spin classes this month, but I was late Oct since I did my last spin workout, so doing 2 this month, and the month isn't over yet, is good for me.  Now I've been using my Peloton tread quite a bit so I'm getting my money's worth out of my membership.  But getting back into spinning has been fun.  

Today I'm going to try and do Cathe's Leaner Legs, which has earned the nickname Meaner Legs.  It's been YEARS since I've done this one and I'm a little like EEK. It's from a program called Crosstrain Express, and it's kind of hard.  I'm just going to do lighter weights, do what I can without killing me, and maybe next time, do better.

I'd like to also do 1 Firm workout this week and one Cathe Live workout this week.  Plus a spin and maybe a walk or a walk with stretching/yoga.  

I'll keep you all updated. 

Back to Cathe, the Firm and Peloton

 

But first, I have these coming to my mailbox tomorrow.      I sometimes can't help myself with CVG LOL.  

I also found this 

I found it  And I read it, ok I read some parts of it, and skimmed other parts.  But reading this really made me want to get to using my Firms again.  I have used them off and on sine 1993, when I found Vo 2 in a video store.  Now, I had CRAVED them since I was a teen in the 80s, and saw the commercial for Vo 1 but well we didn't have a VHS player, my parents were "mean" and wouldn't buy one.  But after I had my first daughter, in 1993, we were out in the mall, looking at a video store, and I saw Vo2.  And I snagged it up right away!    Then a couple weeks later I found Vo 1.  I alternated the 2 with some walks outside, and lost all my baby weight. 

I now have a whole bunch of Firms.  Most of the older ones. I'm not as much a fan of the newer ones.  But the older ones, ones from the 80s and 90s.  I love them. 

I was going start Year One challenge for women with a friend.  She'd do her workouts where she lives, cause she's a few hours away from me, I do mine and we check in with each other.  But between illnesses and she got a little hurt, we're gonna have to put it off for a while.  Maybe in March or April. 

So my plan B is doing my Cathe, Firm and Peloton stuff for a while.  I think if I do a blend of the heavy weights from Cathe, pure cardio of Peloton, and the lighter weights of the Firm, that will be a great.

I ended my Wonder Woman rotation at the end of Jan.  It was fun sort of.  I liked the lifting, but well, it's supersets, doing one move, then immediately doing another move,  and in a smaller home gym, the set up between the two moves can be a PIA.   But other than that, I did enjoy getting back to lifting heavy again.  I probably would have had better results had my eating been better.  But well, winter makes me just want to eat all the carbs and nap all the time. So my eating wasn't the best.  But I do think the lifting helped my blood sugars cause they have been pretty good overall.   Thank goodness.

I'm hoping by mid March or early April my friend will be ready to lift and we can "do" our program together.
