Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

New kicks and alternate soundtrack

Today is our Friday.  Woot!  Gotta love an extended weekend!

Yesterday I got my new kicks  (affiliate link) 


I know...super boring to most.  Well I like it that way thankyaverymuch!  I hate these bright colored mesh pieces of crap that I have to pay $120 for and feel like I have zero support in the actual shoe.  I'm not a runner so I don't need my shoes to look like I am.  I did go up a half size because the length seems to be a little short and the toe box has plenty of room for my tootsies to spread out now.  I'll put 'em to the test this weekend.  I've gotta remember to move my old lady insoles into these.

Last night we were lazy and got downstairs late.  We did Power 90 original which meant it was done on mute.  I can't take Tony Horton and he knows this which is why the newer DVD's have a mute option on the actual menu!  Just for me.  :-)

So we put on our own cardio playlist to go along with it and works well.

Warm Up

The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Wish I - Jem

Cardio

Short Skirt, Long Jacket- Cake
Goodbye Horses- Q Lazzarus
Tongue Tied- Grouplove
Dreamin- Will to Power
Viva La Vida- Coldplay
Moves Like Jagger- Maroon 5
Helena Beat- Foster the People

The mix gave me that oomph to put my all into the workout and with the tightest hamstrings in the world after the previous night's workout, I needed all the help I could get.  We had some stuff to get done and by the time we got upstairs, it was late and we were starving.  It made me wish I'd done prep earlier but nope so we didn't eat until almost 9pm.  Ugh.

I had the Mr pick up a box of Emergen Zzz and I'll take that tonight so I can hopefully get a good, full night's sleep.

What are songs that get you movin'?  (Obviously they don't have to be current based on my list!)

    Nice new shoes there girl! I am glad we play that music with P90 and have him on mute the whole time because it's actually a much more effective workout that way.
    I had a bad nights sleep last night, could have used some of that emergen zzz myself but off to work I go, blah!

      Wow, it's crickets here today! Thanks for keeping me company! ;-)

      I love the new shoes. I hate wearing those mesh disasters especially in the winter when the cold blows right through them. Not good. I couldn't do P90 without some alternative music!
