I think that there need to be at least five more hours in the day. I never feel like I have enough time to get everything that I want to, done. I guess I just need to make exercising and eating right, high up on my priorities. That would be making me number one on my priority list. I feel like anytime I try to do something for me I have ten kids saying " Mom, Mom, I need this, I need that, he is being mean to me, it is my turn, can you play with me, I need a drink..." It just goes on and on. I actually only have two kids that can talk but it feels like 10. I guess I need to get up earlier and get my me time in early in the morning. The problem is I always feel so tired. I guess that could be because I need more exercise, and to eat healthier.

Here we go again...

Okay so I am ready. I have to start getting my butt in gear. I have 45 pounds to lose. And I want to lose most of it by October. That means I have to really work hard on me. I just joined Operation Fat Blaster and I know that the ladies there will keep me accountable for my weight. I will report in for Day 2 of P90x later tonight.

It is going to be a good day...

I have been cleaning all morning and need to continue to clean until I go to work to get my house in order. I have to work 3 - 11 today so I plan on doing Ab workout before and Arm and Shoulder after work. I was not so great last night at work. My sister made the best brownies. I would have been fine had I not started eating them but when I start I just don't stop. Today I WILL NOT start to eat anything that I shouldn't be. Then I don't have to worry about stopping. My body is a little sore but it feels good to know that I worked it hard. Plyometrics yesterday was a killer, felt good but my legs wanted to fall off. Can't wait till I can say that I completed everything as good as everyone on the video.

Hard workouts...

Okay the chest and back workout can only get better. I had to use the chair for pull-ups, my son told me I wasn't doing them right. And most of the push-ups I did on my knees. Then I did plyometrics this morn and my 6 year son said "Dad look at mom's butt it is jiggly", I was doing frog squats. That is my whole reason for doing P90X to be less jiggly and lose a lot of weight.

Randy, Dylan and I just stopped to get plants for our garden. I can't wait to see how our veggies grow. Yesterday was an awful day of eating, today will be better.

Eating right on target...

My eating has been right on target. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks from my first weigh in and I can't wait to see what it is. It may be the same as last week but that is alright, any weight I lose I don't want to gain back. Tomorrow I am going to begin again but I am going to do the classic p90x instead of the lean. I have done workouts the past two days but feel like I need to do the classic so I get a defined body. I have to get to bed but will post more tomorrow. I am sure that it will be a super hard workout because I suck at pull-ups. It should be interesting. Night

Already off track...

Okay so I am a little off track. I really need to get my bottom back on track so I think that I am going to start back over with my first week. Part of my problem is that my pull up bar is not all at my house. I have to unscrew part of it from my mom's door jam. It is a little hard to do legs and back with a pull-up bar or bands. I also have not had the greatest things to eat. Today was a good eating day, but I am exhausted. Tomorrow I will be gone from 8-230 for meetings at the school and then 3-1130 at work. Any workouts would be out of the question but it was supposed to be my rest day. I am not too discouraged just need to get back on track. Off to bed because tomorrow I have a long day.

Day 3 - P90X

Today was day three of P90X and I almost forgot to do my exercises. It was Arm and Shoulder and Abs. We had a yard sale and I was busier than I had imagined. The whole family was tired so we took a 3 hour nap. I didn't get much sleep last night. When I woke up it was 9pm and I was planning on going to Wal-mart but by the time I was headed out the door it was 10 and I remembered that I needed to exercise. I liked the Arm and Shoulder workout. I did not write down my reps and I had to stop a few times because Alice was crying but I did it. I did not do the bonus round because it was late and the breaks were making the workout take longer then scheduled. I am going to do the Abs tomorrow along with Yoga X.

My eating was not great today. I did not eat too much food, just not the right foods. Tomorrow is a new day and I will remember to start it out right.

Day 2 - P90X lean

Well I just finished the second workout for P90X, it was great. I feel good. It was quite amazing because I actually could do everything. All the exercises were not in perfect form but I tried my best.

My first workout last night was not too hot. I was in an awful mood, it was late, I was tired and hungry and Alice was not sleeping well. I had to stop half way through and feed her and I was not in the mood to finish so I went to bed. I am glad that I actually started the workout because I really, really did not want to. Starting was an accomplishment of its own.

Today I am going grocery shopping for some good healthy food. I am going to try and find some healthy things that will cure my sweet tooth when I have one. The 3.4 pounds I lost are enough to make sure I don't give in to the cravings. I am that much closer to a smaller healthier me.

This weekend I have to make something for my one son to take to school on Monday for his birthday. It is probably going to be my biggest challenge not tasting the cake batter or frosting. I am glad that I have someone that will hold me accountable.

weigh in...

It has been one week since I first weighed in and I am down 3.4 pounds. I am really excited. I am also proud of myself because last night I wanted something sweet so bad, I thought about getting an ice cream, I tried to eat a cookie but my son wanted mine so I gave it to him. I was able to overcome my sweet tooth. YAY I won.

Day 1 of P90X

It has been a week since I started my blog and it has not been going great. I have not been posting like I should be and have not paid enough attention to what I am eating and how much. I am starting P90X today, my plan is, to have a plan. So I am going to plan what I eat and also when I am going to do my workouts. I am not going to follow the eating plan strictly but I am going to use it to guide my eating. I was going to do my workout this morning but my son stayed home from school today, so I am saving my workout for when the boys go to bed. I will post later to let you know how my workout goes. I have been eating great today, I am a little hungry right now but I am going to make dinner so I don't feel like I am starving and overeat.

I knew this wouldn't be easy...

Well, I have meant to post but have been falling asleep before I get a chance. Friday and Saturday were good days. I did not exercise besides my usual running around all day but I did watch what I ate. I guess more then watching what I ate, I watched how much I ate. I tried not to eat too much. My big weakness is sweets. I love them and once I start eating them I can't stop. It is funny because people say that because I am breastfeeding the weight will come right off but when you eat a whole lot, the extra calories burned from breastfeeding don't do a whole lot. Yesterday was an alright day but I ate a little bit too many sweets. It was my first day back to work and by lunch I was starving. I tried to eat throughout the morning to keep from feeling starving but it did not happen. It probably would not have been so bad but I forgot that I was trying to be good because I was so hungry. That seems strange but all I could think was that I had 30 min to eat and pump and I was starving. I did go for a 30min power walk. It definitely was a power walk because I was trying to keep up with my son riding his bike.

My plan is to keep a good journal about what I eat and schedule exercise and stick to it. I really want to feel good about myself when I go to the lake or pool this summer.

My starting point...

I have been trying for 6 years to get my body back that I had before my children. It has not yet been accomplished. I am hoping by having this blog and having to be accountable to the people reading, or if no one is reading then just cyberspace, I will lose the weight. I had a baby six weeks ago, and I am tired of people giving me the excuse of being pregnant or "you just had a baby" for why I need to lose 35 pounds. I know when I think about the amount I need to lose it is only 35 pounds, not too comparable to someone who has 100 to lose but I think in a way it is just as hard. It is not an easy thing to change the things that you eat and exercise more. It is a very simple idea but not easy. I am going to go to bed on tomorrow being a new day with a new adventure in front of me and a new place to report into. Good night.
