Father's Day Picnic

Today was spent outside in 94degree weather...but I weighed myself before dong anything and I lost 25lbs. Eating was alot of this, I have been unable to exercise for 2 months now but I have watched what I have been eating. I am really proud of myself and cant wait to start exercising again...soon I hope.

My relax day breakfast

Phase 1 week 3 day 3

I feel fabulous! I have done 3 days so far and looking forward to tomorrow's workout. I have been eating pretty good and not over doing it.

Phase 1 week 3

Since I have not been completely well for the past 3 weeks, I am starting Phase1 week 3 over tomorrow. I am actually looking forward to P90X. This is the first time I eat and exercise and working quick! Note to self: KEEP HYDRATED!!

Week 3 make up

Monday & tuesday & wednesday completed those day but thursday my headache took over (just happened to be yoga day, YUCK) and friday hungar & begining of headache made me miss. Well, today is saturday and I am hoping to work in yesterday and todays workout in today and rest sunday...I AM HOPING. I had fell off the eating wagon slightly, not much to still, OFF. This week I had some bad stuff like: Take 5 candy bar, 6" philly cheese from subway (my fav, at least I didnt get the footlong like I wanted), 2 icecream bars.

But, work gave us a waterbottle and I am starting to use it to get more and keep track of how much I am drinking (gatorade).

well, need to eat breakfast and start my day of relaxation!! (after working out)

Yesterday, sick

OK yesterday I was going to start week 3 of P90X, didnt happen. I was feeling like I icky, come to find out I was dehydrated...dizzy, light head, eyes were focusing after it got to its spot(those being the worst), didnt feel hungry, wanting to throw up...get the picture. My body felt like it had did a workout for hours, arms & legs very weak, didnt want to stand-up, arms I just wanted them to hand to the side and not be used. I even took a shower late in the evening and my arms were struggling to wash. So, yesterday I need to take a day off. Hopefully today I keep hydrated and workout tonight.

Week 2 Complete

OK I have finished week 2, alot weaker for now....I am exhausted but I will say I have checked my sugar levels twice and they were unbelievable low. I got it down to 104 saturday morning and 116 this morning. I am very pleased with myself. I am sticking with this P90X. I start week 3 tomorrow...

Week 2, Day 2

just finish working out. Plyometrics P90X lots of jumping!! Today I have 10 pieces of malt balls (easter candy) and a 2oz bag of cheeze it, extra stuff not on food plan. All last week, I did really good with eating and exercising but today I could not resist having a couple of things not on food plan. Last week I did not fall asleep but today I was sleepy after lunch and afternoon snack. So note to self: leave the extra stuff off food plan.

P90X day3

yes, I have done P90X for 3 days now and I AM SORE,exhausted, achy, and absolutely satisfied. I am looking forward to tomorrow's workout.

Day 1 Chest & Back
Day 2 lots of jumping workout
Day 3 Arms & Shoulders
Day 4 is Yoga

I refuse to look ahead in fear of losing my spunk. I have kept on the food plan.

I would write more on this blog if I had the time but when I get home at 630m I immediately start setting up to be able to workout at 7pm. I get done about 8p and then I have dinner. I spend a little time with the family and then I shower, make my breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the next day. Then the goal is to be in bed by 10p...so far I havent been able to get to bed until 11p...but trying.

So good night, more stuff to do before bed..

RMCALORIE

RMCALORIE (all in small letters) is one of my twitter names. I will also prick my finger in the morning and record my sugar level. I twit the item I am eating along with the calories, carbs, and proteins. I started off good this morning but I still have to update some other stuff. I am trying really hard to keep this going.

Anniversary Goal

Here goes! At 9:15am this morning I weighed myself after a shower and before eating/drinking. I weigh 176lbs. I'm 4'9" and I am almost 50% body fat. My wedding anniversary is March 31st. I told my husband if I lost 5lbs by our 21st Anniversary (March 31st)we are going to have dinner at Rock Bottom Brewer. I know, not the most healthy place to go but I have never been and I work very very close to it. He agreed! I am on a mission. Also, hoping making these baby steps will encourage me to make more baby steps!
