Another day down...

I did it, another day of good eating and exercise. I need to get heavier weights for my biceps and shoulders but triceps are mighty sore today. It is not easy to get up in the middle of the night with a baby when your whole body hurts and it hurts to pick yourself out of bed. Today is going to be the challenge, weekend with the family and eating healthy is not always easy, probably the bigger challenge Yoga X. I have never done this workout before. I was never committed enough to try it. I hate having to look up because I don't know what I am doing but I am supposed to be concentrating on breathing and looking in another direction. I will let you all know how it goes....

Day 2 another successful day!!!!!

Well, my day 2 was successful, I may not be able to get out of bed tomorrow or put my shirt on(chest and back are starting to sink in) but I have completed my first two days, 88 to go. I have figured out my worst habit that I have, eating without thinking. When I am feeding the kids in the morning I don't eat with them but used to eat the last bite of toast or pancake or whatever. Then at night, I am so busy getting this and that for everyone at dinner that I graze and don't sit eat and be done. I caught myself tonight trying to eat bits and pieces of this and that after dinner. Not good.

Plyometrics was tough, not awful, defintely not Insanity tough but not a walk in the park. I did have Dylan take a picture of my after my workout. He was having a tough time with the camera. I will post that and some others tomorrow.

I can't wait until Monday because I am going to weigh in.

One day at a time and I will get to where I need to be.

Measurements

Okay this feels a little insane but here go my starting measurements.
Weight 182.2 Goal 145
Upper arm (there is not yet a bicep yet) - 12.25"
Bust - 38.5"
Waist - 37"
Butt - 42.5"
Thigh - 23.5"

Pictures will come soon, and just so you know, they will be ugly......

It is great to have NRG!!!!!!!!

It is so great to have some energy. I feel like I could conquer anything. Last night I did Day 1 of P90x, chest and back. I can not do a pull-up without a chair, but I did my best. I got done just in time for my son to come crying down the stairs. I was gonna do Ab Ripper X and didn't but I was proud of what I accomplished.

I ate spectacular as well. I am so proud. Finally a BIG step in the right direction.

Wow...

I am feeling the same way today that I did a year ago. It is sad that I have wanted this one thing, to be healthier but have not been willing to do the actions to get it. I always feel poor me I am exhausted my kids are sucking every bit of energy I have, and it isn't that much to begin with. I used to be in super shape. I think I actually said 8 years ago I would never be overweight and out of shape. I guess that is what I get for saying "never". I am right there. But the good news is today is my day. Thanks to my far away friend, for being so honest, she made me cry thinking about how ridiculous I am when I rationalize my bad eating habits. Things are looking up today. I have more energy today then I have had in the past two weeks combined. I am going to go do my Day 1 of P90x, hopefully my lovely Alice will not wake up crying like she does everynight when I am trying to do something for me, LOL. I never realized before that people were actually commenting on my blog. There are people rooting for me, well there were. But it is up to me, to push play, eat healthy, and to love me.
