Phase 2

Phase 2

I start phase 2 of p90x today, and I am super excited about it. I have made it 5 weeks so far. Now is where it gets a little bit more serious. Now is where it gets harder. I am looking forward to the challenge and am going to work on being better at getting through plyometrics and focusing on breathing right during yoga. Also I get distracted and start dancing to the music playing in the background. Those are my mini goals for this Phase. Tonight is Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Abs! I will post more later.

Slacking on Posting

Slacker

I have been a total slacker on posting. I have not slacked off on exercise though. I have started a new goal in addition to P90x. There is a you tube channel I follow called makingthebest09, and it has a lot of helpful videos with some exercises to change up your routine. There is one video post called Cardio and Arms 30 day which is a combo of some simple cardio moves and arm work using weights. My goal is to do it everyday at least two times through for 30 days before I do my P90x workout. On the days I am not doing arms I will do the moves without weights, and on the days I am working arms I will use the weights. I should be a lot sorer today then I am, but it might just not have had time to set it. Tonight I do Core Synergistics, which I find pretty challenging, I will probably take Rebel for a run before I get started.  
Also I finally measured myself today my measurements for my waist and hips are 32" and 37". We will see if this changes as I move on.

Cardio X

Cardio X

So I was supposed to do Kenpo X last night and I did Cardio X. I feel like Kenpo does not burn enough calories. I am not dripping with sweat by the end of it. I guess I feel like I need to be dripping with sweat and almost dead to really accomplish something. Tonight is supposed to be rest. Rest is like my least favorite day. I know that it is necessary to let my body heal, but it makes me feel lazy.

Almost 4 weeks!!

I am almost to week 4! It has been a long road, with some terrible food decisions, and days of soreness. It has been worth it! I feel better then I did when I started. I think that proving to yourself that you can stick with something is a big part of P90x. I can not run tonight, and could not last night because of the rain. I felt bad that me and Rebel were cooped up inside. I had legs and back last night. It is probably a good thing I could not run, because I am sore enough today as it is. I have only lost a pound, I am making a promise to myself to measure tonight, so I can keep track. I know my clothes are fitting loser, so I know I have at least diminished some inches!! Tonight is Kenpo!!! I am going to bring it!

Stabbed Repeatedly in the Arm Today!

So I had to have some blood work done today. I wanted to run and I start week 3 of P90x tonight, but I am nervous about lifting weights with both my arms so sore. Knowing me I will probably do it anyway. I have chest arms and the dreaded ab ripper x tonight. My legs are still sore from Plyo. At least I think it is Plyo I can't really be sure. I will post about my workout later!

YES!!

We did it!! Rebel and I ran our hearts out before P90X last night. It was so nice out, and he has really been itching to go. I was proud of myself for accomplishing a third of my goal. After my workout I had a Gigantic Salad with no dressing, it had beans on it for protein, and a nice sugar free chia latte before bed. I am not as sore. Today is supposed to be stretch and rest day. I feel like I should be doing something though. Maybe I will go for a walk after work. If Rebel has his way it will turn into a run and then I will only have a third of my goal left!! Happy Cinco De MayO!!!!!!

Peanut Butter Time!

Today is going to have to be one of the days I run. I have not decided if I will do it before or after my P90X workout. I am currently snacking on one teaspoon of peanut butter, and savoring it! Lunch was a Healthy Choice, Side Salad, No Dressing, and Breakfast was Coffee and a power bagel plain! I was doing good up until that point and then I got the munchies. I bought a small bag of funyuns and a fast break. I only ate a little of each and then threw them away. As a punishment I counted them as fulls in my calorie count today. I will run it off, and they were good. Damn you 3 o'clock slump! I am going to start keeping healthy treats at work, more than just a jar of PB in my desk. yummy! Every time I have walked up the stairs I have felt the leg workouts from last night. I like feeling it everyday. I feel like I really accomplished something. I know I said I would post measurement loss and poundage. I have not yet measured myself, and I still have only lost 1 and a half pounds, which I am very proud of!
