Last Week’s Report & My Forecast for This Week

So I’m way behind on reporting my progress! Last Monday-Wednesday I kicked butt again with my P90X. I was so excited that two weeks in a row, I had the motivation to workout with or without Mark. Now of course Mark is still working out…he’s just been getting his cardio in playing basketball and coming home some nights to do P90X. I just can’t wait on him anymore because while he’s playing ball right after work, I lose my motivation as I said in a previous post. Now I will admit with the holiday this weekend, I didn’t exactly do P90X, but think I still got a little cardio in. We spent the entire weekend at the lake and pool and when I’d get home I would be exhausted. I made sure I just didn’t lounge in the pool the whole time but made sure I did some swimming too! You don’t realize all the muscles you’re working out underwater until you get out and rest! So I’m still going to give myself kudos for getting some type of activity in 6/7 days this week!

Now for the week ahead: Since we enjoyed our 3 day weekend to the fullest, meaning no housecleaning…I’ll be cleaning house, folding laundry, and getting packed up before my trip on Wednesday. I could get up early to work out but I’m already going into work a little earlier so you know what that means. Hopefully I’ll have some time late in the night to spare and try to get some cardio in. But you ladies know how it goes right before a trip. So many errands to run with so little time. :( I do think Evette & I will get a little cardio in towards the end of the week though, running around and touring venues all day Thursday & Friday, jumping up and down and dancing a TON at the NKOTB concert Friday (okay maybe I’ll be solo on that one), and walking around the 250 vendor Bridal Show on Saturday!

I am happy to report that I have lost 10 pounds since I’ve been in Florida (3 months). I don't think its noticeable (I didn't realize it) but was pleasantly surprised when I weighed in at the Doctor’s office a week ago. I feel myself getting stronger again with the help of P90X. It’s been awhile since I posted a pic so I guess I should do that soon. It won’t be every week, maybe every other or so. For me it wasn’t so much losing the weight, but getting toned like I was 2 years ago. Next week when I return with no other long breaks (or vacations) in sight until September, I’m going kick my routine into high gear!

All of you are doing AWESOME! I’m so happy about your individual progress and you ladies are also my motivation! Keep it up!
