Switch-A-Roo

No! I haven't totally ditched the weight loss journey blog thingy. I am still on the journey! I just took a break from the 90 days of P90X. Since my last blog I've re joined Weight Watchers. I started attending meetings on August 7th.I have lost ten pounds just by exercising and following the point system. I have about twenty four pounds to go before I hit my goal weight! It's encouraging for me to be able to run faster and for longer amounts of time. I can't lie, it's nice to see me fit some of my "skinny" clothes again too! I will be sure to keep you updated on each new milestone of my journey. I might throw in a few pictures, motivators, and funny clips just to mix things up a bit! For those of you on this journey with me... I will be praying for you and please know that I am here if you need anything!

Week 3 of P90X

I started out strong in week three up until day four the Yoga workout. I hate it! It's not too difficult or anything like that, it is the fact it's ninety minutes long. I like Yoga... but not for ninety minutes worth. I would rather do a high energy workout in thirty minutes than ninety minutes of Yoga. I sorta fell off the wagon after that point in my week and missed my workouts for the next three days.
Tracking my WW points has been easy. I was tempted with ocean water shakes and chocolate doughnuts and lost. I tapped into most of my weekly allowance points. Temptation in combination with not working out as hard as I should have resulted in a lose of only .8 lbs.
Today I weighed in at 170.2....So only 20.2 lbs to go!
To suceed this week I substituted Stretch X for the Yoga workout.I will do Yoga at the end of my week.
My goals this week include: workout everyday and track every day. I need to find time to run too....I have another 5k race on July 3rd.The key to success is to find a pace that works for you and stick with it. I will continue to track and workout until every last extra pound is gone. It may take longer than ninety days and that is fine but I am not giving up!!!

Changing Things Up A Bit

Blogging everyday is really time consuming and I really don't have the time so I will start blogging weekly along with posting pictures just to keep things interesting. I know I know some of you will be sorely disappointed but that is just how it has to be. Ha ha ha just kidding.
I have decided to switch P90X programs. I was doing the P90X lean program but I wasn't seeing the results I wanted on the scale. So after doing a little research and talking to other P90X pros I have decided to switch to the P90X doubles program. This program is for people who want to lose weight.I'm not really trying to build muscle or get ripped. I have been doing the new schedule since Tuesday, June 15th and I feel like this one suits my needs better. I have already had a few people comment saying they can see a difference in my stomach and face....that makes me smile! Stay tuned for my next blog on Tuesday, June 22nd (After Weigh In).

Day Fifteen

Just finished Plyometrics...Oh....My! That is the hardest workout by far. My face is the color of beet juice and my back is covered in sweat...yuck! I worked off five WW activity points today and I took a one mile stroll around the track before my Plyo workout. Go me!!
I have been doing awesome at tracking all of my WW points today. It was a good day. I feel happier! I can actually feel myself getting into better shape. I did Ab ripper last night and I have to admit it's getting easier. I only say that because I am taking way less breaks than I did in week one. Pretty soon I'll be sayin' goodbye muffin top hello flat tummy!
