P-90X

Holy Sore Body!

I'm feeling great after my first week of P90x! Woot woot! Jordan and I are doing it together! ...we don't actually have the luxury of working out TOGETHER, but we both hold each other accountable for doing our P90x work-outs 6 days a week! :) I am looking forward to seeing some SERIOUS results! I feel better already, and I am hoping that means there are ABS in my future! LOL.

Goals

I know I am not going to loose any weight this week, in fact, I will probably gain weight. I have been working out more so I suppose I will start to build more muscle mass, which weighs more than fat. I also cheated a few times the last couple of days- not that I should make excuses- but, my baby was not sleeping well and it takes a lot out of me...so I was stressed....and I. Ate. Sugar.

I am scared to put this on here...because then it means it is REAL and I might actually have to stick with it. But, my hubby and I are starting P90x. I haven't been interested in it since...oh ..about...THE FIRST TIME I TRIED IT!! It was horribly difficult. However, I know that now that my weight is down, and my main goal is to tone and sculpt my body- I MUST do something extreme. SO here it is...a 90 day commitment.

Please pray for me. AH!

Summer Races

We are signing up for some 5k and 10k races this summer. So far we are signed up for 1 race and looking for more!

Last week-- we both struggled to lose weight. I didn't work out much- and I am working on changing up my diet plan! It's going to look something like this:

Breakfast: Oats with berries and turkey sausage

Snack: Greek Yogurt

Lunch: Chicken Breast with Fruit

Snack: going to switch between; fruit, protein bars and protein shakes

Supper: Protein and veggies

Body transformation before/after Photos

We are taking pictures every week as we get fit! The body transformation pictures haven't gone up because it is hard to show the world something you are self conscious about (and trying to change). I am trying to muster up the courage to post them.... stay tuned to see when we do!

Also, I thought I might mention....I never really explained my "goal" for this whole 'get fit' project. I am not trying to get down to a certain weight, I am simply trying to fit back in to the "pre-pregnancy" jeans! And when I say "fit into them" I mean... be able to button them with out my love-handles spilling over the sides! I still have a way to go---I found out this morning! wah!

@ a stand still... wah wah

I feel like I need a jump start! The theory behind a cheat day is made up of 2 main ideas: 1 is that it helps you look forward to something through out the tough week of eating super clean. 2 is that it tricks your body when you eat a high caloric fatty diet for a day and then eat super clean the next several, it is supposed to help jump start your metabolism and what not... my husband could elaborate. But, I don't feel like the pizza, donuts, and strawberry lemonade did ANYTHING for me! I know it has only been 1.5 days back on the Healthy train...but I'm not feeling like I'm burning off much of anything. Working out would probably help....hummm....

Oh how I hate 100 Calorie snacks!

I'm Getting rid of my 100 Calorie snacks. I am normally completely against these types of marketing ploys, but they were an impulse buy- so I replaced my fiber bars with these 'slimfast' 100 calorie snacks. The problem... they are the size of my pinky finger and have 100 calories in them! I mean I could take the most caloric food in the world and package it to be 100 calories!...It might be the size of a pea, but hey! Just Think...I could eat a large apple or 3-4 clementines for that! The biggest issue is that they really aren't very good for you- but they are addicting because its sugary-chocolate! Ugh- *Time to replace them with better-filling foods!*

1st week done!

Successful first week! Jordan and I both lost a good amount of weight our first week! It will only get harder from here- as I know from past experience that when you are in a sense "cleansing" your body of old habits the first week, it comes off the fastest.

Today is our "cheat day"--- Looking forward to today helps get us through the week! :)
