Day 1 of P90X

We finally got the P90X in the mail this weekend and I started my Day 1 today! OMG! Mel this is TOUGH! I could barely finish! I haven't focused too much on my upper body since my surgery so I am going to be sooooo sore by the end of the day. It's going to be very hard trying to get this in everyday but I'm going to try my hardest. It'll probably take wayyyy longer than 90 days but that's ok. We're not doing the diet though since we have the kids to feed and they need all the calories and more (and don't have time to be cooking 2 separate meals). I'm taking this day by day, so my goal is to just do it again tomorrow :)

I'm Back Too!

So I'll recap last week's progress! So I made my goal and ran 5 days straight last week! I've been running almost 3 miles except for the last day since my knees started hurting. =( I guess I put too much into it too soon but still feeling good. We're adding P90X in this week too so hopefully I'm on my way to being toned! I honestly don't have a "weight-loss" goal since I'm happy with my current weight, but just need to tone. What will probably happen is I'll gain weight with gaining muscle. That's always a struggle mentally but that's okay. I should get past it by seeing the physical changes in the mirror! =) We also watched Food, Inc. this weekend and that gave us another push towards eating healthy. Knowing where our food comes from, how a lot of what we eat is genetically altered and processed does something to you mentally! It was extremely informative and although it might cost us a little more in the pockets, we went shopping yesterday morning and most of what we bought was organic and healthy. I wish all you girls luck on meeting your goals! We can do it ladies- we want to be going on "girls trips" and sharing life stories for a LONG time right?!

New Year, Need to make new Goals!

Hey Ladies! I'm baaackkkk :) So yes I made my Goal for this week! Woohoo! I ran 15 minutes out and back. The run back was tough because I had to sprint the last 2 minutes on and off to make it back before 15 minutes. Came home and did a set of sit ups and "girl" push ups. Both hurt so that shows me how out of shape I am! We're going to order the P90X tonight so hopefully I'll be starting that in the next week or so. I don't really have any long term goals yet so I will be thinking of that in the next couple of days. I didn't make last years goal (running 1/2 marathon) so I may think about making it this years goal again.

Love you ladies!
