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!

Day 14
I blew chunks after my workout tonight.....that is the first time it has ever happened to me! I am not sure if it was because I ate dinner two hours earlier or if it was because I was working out so hard. All I know is that it was gross...
Today I did a lot of self talk. You can do this! I WILL lose weight! I won't give up! Push harder...you got this! I have to say it really helped. I also like to give a huge thanks to my friends and family for the continuous encouragement and support. I couldn't do this without you. I had Adrianna take a few shots during my workout. (Just to help paint the picture of how hard P90X really is) It's not a race it's a journey. Thanks for reading....

Day 12 & 13
Yesterday I did my P90 X workout before bed and I was really good about tracking up until dinner time. I ate a salad with chicken so I figured I was safe!
This morning I weighed in after having a very disappointing week last week...I wasn't too hopeful. To my surprise I've lost 2.2 lbs. No it's not a huge milestone but I will take it! So after two full weeks of P90X and tracking I have to say it has been very difficult. I do believe I am seeing results in the mirror more than on the scale. Part of me is thinking I should only weigh twice a month. Once in the beginning and once at the end. What do you guys think??

Day Ten
Day Ten sorta slipped away from me. I was totally planning on getting my workout in before bed time and I was just too pooped. My plan for today is to get both workouts in...yes, I know it is crazy but I gotta try to "bring it" here in just a few minutes I am going to do shoulders and arms along with Ab Ripper X. Tonight I am going to do some yoga. WW Tracking is going well it's easier for me than the workouts I am making better food choices and watching my portion sizes. Today I noticed my stomach is looking a little flatter...yay!

Day Nine
It's getting harder and harder to wake up in the mornings to get my p90x workouts in. My body is sore and I wake up very tired. Yesterday two people asked how my workouts were going...thanks guys, I need that accountability!
I worked out last night right before bed, believe it or not, I think it helped me sleep. Surprisingly My girls were really good about letting me finish a work out and they even jumped in to do a few moves with me. I am not sure if it was Anna or Lily who snapped a few pics with my camera phone during my workout but they are hilarious...
WW tracking is going well too. I know I need to do a better job of getting my water and my five servings of fruits and veggies in every day. I sure hope I lose this week!!!

Day Eight
I have to admit yesterday I was pretty bummed after weigh in but I am determined to stick with the plan. This morning I woke up and worked out hard... Let's hope next Tuesday will show me some weigh in results!
It looks like we need to pick up some produce...my house is really low on fresh fruits and veggies. I know if we get too low on food we are tempted to just go out and grab a few meals from fast food places near by. Danger!! Today's goal burn more calories playing with my girls for a few hours after work and track every WW point.

Day Seven
Last nights date went well.... Green Papaya served up great fresh steamed veggies, white rice, and small pieces of beef topped with a nice spicy ginger sauce. Desert was a delicious fresh frozen yogurt parfait topped with real strawberries, blueberries, mangos, and blackberries...yum Although I am not really sure how many points...but I know that I had eight left for the night plus plenty in reserve.
By the time we came home after our date I wasn't feeling like working out so I skipped last night and told myself I would make sure to get it in this morning.(Fail)
This morning I was very excited to weigh in....but after I stepped on the scale that excitement, my huge grin, that feeling of knowing I really worked out and meticulously tracked every bite
vanished....173.2 What!? How is that possible? I worked out so hard...I stayed within my points...
They say it's not failure it's feedback. Yeah right! In my mind.. I am thinking what do I need to do to lose a little weight!? Is my metabolism really that messed up? What the heck?
Going into next week I commit to working out harder and using less reserve WW points.
Chin Up Chin Up....Gotta keep this show on the road 83 days left.

Day Six
I didn't get an early morning P90 workout in today but I will make sure to get it in before bed. After all it is my "last chance workout" before tomorrow's weigh in. Tonight I have a bit of a challenge...(date night with my husband) which means I will be faced with sweet temptations and high calorie delights... but I will do my best to resist all evils and stay within my WW point range. Stay tuned for tomorrows weigh in results!Yay...

Day Five
97 Blog views wow...I didn't think I would have so many! Well hopefully all you reading are getting more motivated or inspired to go out and do whatever fitness goals you have set for yourself. And at the very least I hope you are entertained.
So, yesterday I was able to get in a two mile walk. Man.. it is getting so hot here I think I've lost weight due to sweating my booty off just walking to my car. I did manage to get my p90 leg and back workout early this morning (7:30) and tonight I plan on doing the Ab ripper X. I am still consistently tracking my WW points and staying on target to lose a few pounds this week. I have been trying to stay away from all soda but today I gave in and had a diet Pepsi. Shucks!! Well, as they say, if you fall down.. dust yourself off and get back on the horse!

Day Four
So far so good...I have been tracking my WW points and sticking to the P90 workouts everyday. I think it's paying off too. I snuck on the scale and I've lost 2.2 lbs so far (but I don't officially weigh until Tuesday morning.) I woke up this morning feeling well rested and satisfied. Such a great feeling! Thank you Jesus...
The Zumba workout dvd makes me giggle.. Yesterday, while I was trying to keep up with the various Zumba moves... Lily, my three year old, says to me mom turn this off it's too hard for you. Ha Ha Ha I have to admit they move pretty fast but I think after a few tries I will look more coordinated...I hope! Today I went over my daily WW point allowance and dipped into the weekly reserve. Oh but it was worth it! Can I just say bacon wrapped serloin steak. Tonight I am going to TRY to get a two mile walk in and in the morning I am going for a one mile jog in addition to my P90X workout (Melting me some goo...)

Day Three
Awake at 6 am this morning...workouts went well. Ab Ripper X is very very hard! I think my core muscles are in need of the most attention. I am feeling pretty sore but not sluggish.
Yesterday, I tracked all of my WW points...I used 23 WW points. I was only able to consume four servings of fruits and veggies, five servings of water, one lean protein, and one milk serving.
I didn't get my Zumba dvd workout last night but that will be my goal for tonight after supper. Have a good weekend everyone!

Day Two
Yesterday I did really well tracking all of my WW points. I only ate 24 points (I get 23 per day) and I got all of my liquids, all of my fruits and veggies, one milk serving and one oil serving in. Yay!! I burned five activity points too.
Today, I set my alarm for 5 am but I didn't actually wake up until six. I made it through the Cardio X workout "Superman-Banana" which burned 3 activity points.
My goals for today: Continue to track those points and do a zumba workout dvd after supper...skinny here I come!

Day One
I woke up at 5am and made it through a my first P90X workout. It was pretty hard but I pressed through.Can I just say, I am not digging all the push ups involved in this workout! Oh and I stepped on my scale this morning, after my shower,Guess what? I gained three pounds over the last two weeks…shoot! I can believe it though. I didn’t work out at all over the last two weeks while I was traveling and eating high calorie foods. So now my goal is to lose 28lbs. Today's goals: Track every point I eat and go on a 2 mile walk.
