Day 9 P90X

So, I made up for my laziness over the last couple days. Not only did I Do day 8 and day 9 all in one day but I also walked a mile to and from my daughter's school pulling a wagon and I felt great.  Sure there were times I was thinking OUCH this sucks but honestly day 9 on P90X is worse, heck Day 8 was.  I am sunburned from yesterday when we went to the park (oops left that out) and all the extra burning of the energy I am feeling a little more drained lately BUT here goes nothing about explaining tonight's workout...  So I started doing my plyometrics workout and while I am uncoordinated as can be, I am trying to make it through these workouts without tripping on my two left feet.  It didnt help that Steven was making fun of me the whole time.  It didnt help that he and his friend were just sitting there making fun. I know they were kidding and I honestly dont care but I was laughing so much that I forgot the real reason I was getting made fun of in the first place... TO GET MY BUTT KICKED VIA DVD haha I feel like I have lost weight, I feel a little lighter on my feet but honestly I am nervous to look.  I have limited my sweets intake, I have limited most everything I drink to water or a little milk but VERY LIMITED.  I do feel so much better when I work out although my body feels like shutting down and saying screw it, we are on vacation and I dont want to be bothered by all this mess.  I wont give up on this dream of being healthy, I wont give up on my goal of being able to fit into my cute clothes again.  I can tell I have lost weight because I can find my hip bones without any real issue, I know I have lost weight because my clothes are fitting a little more loosely lately, and I can also tell I am losing weight because my brain is convinced of the fact that if I get off my ass I can and will have the body I have always dreamed of having.

Day 8 P90X

OOPS forgot there was a monday!! I didnt workout today because of the whole so busy my head was spinning thing but dont worry I made it up on Day 9.

Day 7 P90X

So day 7 was a day of rest, I was wanting to try the stretch X but it just didnt work out, so I took on a day of much needed rest.  It was really anything but restful but we will call it that because I didnt actually work out.  So I had a day to give my muscles some relaxation time and WOW did they ever.  They arent hurting and I have worked hard and sweated hard in order to make it all happen. Maybe I need to push myself harder but until this Saturday, I dont see myself getting much done other than projects and the minimum workout.  OOPS!  I guess I need to try harder to hurt more haha WAIT is there something wrong with me? YIKES!

Day 6 P90X

Wow Day 6 has been my most favorite work out yet! It is Kenpo X, there was a ton of kicking and punching, jumping and blocking.  I cant say that I was totally in my element because the punch jab kick combos are killer and I am not very coordinated BUT I seriously loved it.  I felt the burn AND had my heart rate going and I still have the energy to keep going but I have to get on with my plan for today.  Today I am going on a hot date with my Hubby.  6 days in I have more energy, and I do feel better than I have in forever.  In a few days I will post a picture looking at the changes I have made in a week.  Even if there isnt much change on the outside of my body the inside is soooo much better. Now just to seriousy watch what I eat... but HOW can i do that when so many DELICIOUS foods are bad for you?? haha See you on day 7!!  OH yeah the mioenergy water additive is delicious and it actually helps on those days you need the extra energy.  PLUS you can get a few energy drinks out of one bottle that costs less to maybe the same as one can of energy drinks.  Tomorrow is either stretch x or Yoga x... not sure what I will try tomorrow because i have a choice but I sure am going to love doing it.  Aside from listening to the P90X guy... he is slightly annoying BUT he is motivational so I will listen.

Day 5 P90X

As I stated in day 4 I didnt do my Yoga on day 4 so I did half of the Yoga work out on day 5 PLUS the whole work out on day 5. OUCH I may have almost over done it but I SURVIVED!! So I was also killing myself (during the work out) to burn off the brownies and cake I have eaten over the last couple of days.  The Brownies were my HUGE downfall, but they were delicious.  I replaced water for Cherry Juice and it added just a hint of delicious cherries... here is a little tip: make sure you have a ton of people there to share them with or you will eat the whole pan I know I almost did.  I know denying myself 100% of all things sweet would be horrible to do to myself because I want to be fit not grumpy haha. Getting back to topic at hand, the legs and back PULS ab ripper x was tough, pull ups of any type kick my butt, and then the leg workouts made me hurt at the moment but I barely feel it today so I must start working harder because as much as it sucks the pain the next day shows me that I am working hard.  OH yeah... I personally think resistance bands SUCK!! I have GOT to get some weights, OH yeah and remount the pull-up bar.

So the 1/2 Yoga session was HARD!!! seriously, I realize more and more I have zero balance.  I am guessing after time goes on I will be better at this whole thing.  Thanks to a friend letting me use her Yoga Mat, I can actually do the workouts but does anyone else have a problem with their hands getting sweaty making it hard to do all the poses on the ground? I know my hands get so slippery that I just had to put my towel on the mat so they dont slip haha

Day 4 P90X

Yeah so Day 4 was my 29th birthday, so seeing as I had my day full of appointments on top of the regular routine I totally missed my workout... unless you want to call going for my health assessment with them getting my heart rate up and all that stuff a workout but not quite how the p90x schedule wanted me to do it so... I did 1/2 the yoga workout on day 5 PLUS doing the day 5 work out.  So this will be a short blog because other than my BMI isnt as bad as I thought and to be within healthy range I only need to loose 6% and my heart rate is DOWN!! I believe my weight is down as well, but I didnt even look because I hate seeing what I weigh.  It actually is a slap in the face to stare at the scale especially when you think you are doing the right things... it was my prompt to do this, and the fact I will be 30 in less than a year and I dont want to start my 30's out in the body of my 20's... If at all possible I want to be better than my teens but for now lets reach for the goal of best I have ever been in my 20's.  

Day 3 P90X

Well, after last night my whole body is killing me but I press on.  Whew Shoulders and Arms PLUS ab ripper x?? OUCH!! it took everything in me to do the workout today. It took me knowing that I give up now I have let the fat win!  With the TV line up tonight I totally could have vegged out.  Some of the work outs were nearly impossible with the bands so I got the bottles of 64 FL OZ of juice with the easy grip to work with.  Sadly with some of the workouts it was exactly enough weight... apparently my triceps are not as strong as they used to be.  They say that bands will work exactly the same but I say NO WAY!! the transitions are harder to make sure the tension is the same on both arms, it gets wrapped up on my legs and it is just awkward.  I didnt give up today! I worked through the fact it hurt to stand up or sit down and not to mention the fact I had to lug Jocelyn around today including the outside of a building because I forgot to put her shoes on her when I quickly left the house this morning.  Tomorrow is the meeting with the people to do a health assessment, I am hoping my blood pressure is down and I have lost a lb or two, but I am not going to be upset if I havent seen amazing results in three days I am not giving up because I do deserve to have the body I have always wanted.  OK so now it is time to put away the juice bottles and bands, and now to get back to the house wife and mother tasks.
