3rd week

this 3rd week of the routine was dragging.. i hated it for a minute.. i blame it on my monthly period. i have to be honest and missed 3days of it now.. now my boobs hurt like shit and i know ill be jumping up and down with kenpo.. so i decided on the unthinkable.. i lay-lowed. please dont judge me! i promise to get back on it once im back to being myself. :) promise. but im still watching my caloric intake as well as still practicing yoga. it seems like i cant live without yoga lately. i was so grumpy when i missed it last time to pick up my husbands sister from school. im hoping to get back into my routine next week... if not please i beg of you to kick me in the butt.

surviving week 1

hell to the yeah!

i have survived week one of the p90x and I am definitely taking the break! i know i shouldnt but im giving in to my muscles crying for a day of rest.

so far i have been loving it! i have been looking forward to my routines. and ive actually started feeling more alive. and the pants loosening! woot woot! yep! i pulled my pants down one day this week not realizing i hadnt pulled my zipper down. but i dont want to get too excited.. YET! i want to be excited on the 3rd week. so im taking my time with this one. i have to come clean and have been stumbling on this whole routine. nobody said its going to be easy! and damn its not! i have to keep my focus on to get through. but tony and his gang are soo much fun to workout with. not strict and so motivating. i cannot wait to be able to speed up and balance like them! :)

my  favorite by far is the plyometrics. its the hardest of all and im glad i survived it, though barely, i still finished strong. :) then comes the yogaX. that yoga routine took care of my body. the stretch and the inner massage, i can say, just relieved the strain. i cannot believe another workout fixed another workout's pain! isnt that incredible? :)

i still have to work on my pull ups, and push ups. my arms are such whiners! big sissies! i have to tear them up one day and just make them bleed inside so they stop crying and just do what i need it to do. :/ for right now i hate my arms. my legs though can keep up. for some reason my legs have always been up to such saddistic moves. makes me happy. :) arms though, makes me sad. but im sure theyll come around. i hope soon!

ok. calorie intake. been watching it. i want the shakeology that jenn was talking about but its pretty expensive for me considering its going to have to be on a monthly basis. what am i going to do when i dont have the capability to maintain the golden shake? i dont want to get fat again becasue i cant give my body what its going to be used to. but i certainly want to try it! :) for right now, i might just have to manually work it out with my calorie intake. :/

starting tomorrow, everything that goes inside my body will be accounted for. i will have to be honest that i will cheat once in a while, but i will definitely watch it. in order to be successful, i need to. besides, my sister is 5'6" and a size 0. what the hell am i doing with my body like this??

day 4: sore-ing it out!

so. i just got done with the day 3 of this routine, (but its my 4th day on it!) first day was actually trying out the yogaX, loving it, now actually doing it. this workout is for the shoulders, and right now its on fire! doing something different everyday but actually working the muscles again makes it even more sore! but im loving it!!! for some odd reason, i feel like its my reward. odd? probably? but i beg to differ. :)

next it actually cleaning out my diet. ive been cutting on my calorie intake and getting my body get used to the fact that its not getting any more than it actually needs. (right now, its working. the real battle comes in when the 3rd week of cutting down is ON!) im still doing research on how to manipulate my mind into thinking im not craving for anything. because seriously, my body has already tricked my mind into thinking its in need of something thats just a craving. water DOESNT work for me. but thats why i use and abuse crystal lights and those mixes you put in water. :) please dont judge me. but feel free to.

i had dinner with a good friend of mine last night, miss rebecca. she used to be my store manager when i was a shi(F)t at starbucks. i loved working for her! i learned a lot from her. but anyway, we are now planning to go do some warm/hot yoga soon!!! :) ive been doing yoga now for almost a month, but its just some yoga restore sessions. its not as intense as the yogaX p90X has, but its some good stretch and some time for myself ONLY. :) thats refreshing. so im doing that, doing the p90x and then some. im sure i still dont have that fitness routine i need, other than following p90x (trying as hard as i can!), to get some drastic results, but my spirits are pretty up there!

now, im planning to purchase either a new set of resistance bands or some weights. im not sure yet. but anyway.. i have 87days more to go and i look forward to it!!

day 3

ok. so its my 3rd day doing something good for myself. i purchased a new yoga mat, a pull-up bar, a yoga block, and some more good stuff.

i am starting this blog to give me the push to be disciplined and committed in this P90X extreme home fitness thing that my husband had given me over a year ago. its work, i tell you. im sore and im loving it. (im sure my husband is saying, heeeeell yeah, baby!)

i was inspired by a friend. jennifer. i dont really know her but have always looked up to her. i know her through amy, a good, good friend. i mean, its like i know her because i used to hear so much good things about her that amy used to always tell me. i feel like i can trust her. she is a friend on fb. and so one day, i ran across her status on fb, then somehow it inspired me to finally start my long time plan of getting back in shape. and somehow, without her even encouraging me to start and get off my butt, i did it. i guess thats a good thing? i mean, if you mean well, someone, somewhere is bound to be inspired by it. :)

like her, i will be posting up my journey, in pursuit of change. then maybe, just maybe, i will get to inspire others to start up and do something for themselves. even just one person will be a success.
