Long time No Type

Well I know it has been a super long time since I last posted something here.. it is hard to keep up with life, kids, family, work...etc... and find time to sit at a computer and type about stuff you did that day...
I have been keeping up with my work outs though and I am super proud of myself.. tomorrow will mark the 30 day point.. I started Phase II yesterday and did quite well. I did about 90% of my push ups without going to my knees but I will definitely go to my knees next week as I am going to work on my form and going down FAR... I need to get those specific muscle groups working so that I can do real GOOD push ups in the future.
Also, I have been having this weird tearing noise and fuzzy sensation in my arms when working out.. it kinda feels like when you get chill bumps and your hair sticks up on your arms.. but the hair isn't sticking up it just has that weird feeling... It doesn't burn or sting so I have NO flipping clue what it is.. maybe I'll visit the body builder forums to see..
Tomorrow I will take my 30 day measurements.. I am excited to see the changes I have made in the past 30 days... My clothes fit differently and my weight is hovering around 171.5 to 168.. If I can just break that 170 mark and stay under it I'll be doing great.. I may work on losing more weight after my 90 days are up.. we shall see..
Well that is about it for now... I'll try to keep better records..

Been working hard

Well since my nephews have been here with us I haven't had much time to blog so I apologize for tardiness.
So I really haven't lost any more weight but I can definitely see a change in my body.. my clothes fit a lot looser and my body is starting to be defined. I am eating healthier and I am working out every day.. even on my rest day. I even have a plan for this coming weekend when I will be out of town to get all my exercises in on time.

Have gotten Brody on the Ab Ripper X kick and Steve is working out with me a few times a week, just not committing to the actual P90X program YET.. I sure hope he does soon.. I know that it will help him gain the definition he desires. We will see, I'll keep working on him.

So anyway that is about it.. for now.. I promise to try to stay connected better.. the boys are gonna be gone after this weekend so that should allow for more computer time. :)

A little catching up

Well I haven't been on since Friday but I have been busy working out and living life so it isn't that I was ignoring you, it is that I was kinda too busy to jot down what I was doing because I was so busy doing IT.
So Saturday, I got in Yoga X.. this is some hard core Yoga.. you sweat like you are running a marathon in the Mojave desert .. it is some ruff stuff. but I love it!!
Sunday was Legs and Back along with Ab Ripper X... did the Legs and Back with Steve YAHHH and waited until later that night to do Ab Ripper X due to the Fourth of July Festivities... but I got it all in and even got Brody to participate.. but from the sounds of his complaining of Ab pain the past few days I may not be able to get him to do it again LOL
Monday I did Kenpo X.. I just love kicking and punching and I do believe I was a lot better at it this time around.. (as far as coordination goes that is) ..
Today is Rest/Stretch day.. I think I am going to do either the X-Stretch DVD or BBL at lunch today.. I just kinda feel lazy if I don't do anything.. and I have Yoga at the Community Center tonight so I should be all rested up and stretched out for tomorrow's WEEK 2 Start....

I am proud of my accomplishments this week.. I made it through the whole week and didn't whine once.. YAHH ME!

I have total and complete confidence in myself!

Shoulders & Arms Plus Ab Ripper X

I got Shoulders and Arms done today at the gym and it wasn't bad I could actually do all of the exercises.. I think I can add a few pounds on for a few of them but we shall see.. and tonight I did the Ab Ripper X.. there are like 364 or so crunches/sit ups in all during the 16 minutes of work out but I am fairly confident that I only did about 100 or maybe ... just maybe 150.. I'll get stronger I know.. and uuuhh yeah by the way.. my 5 year old son Joshua was doing the Mason Twists as good if not better than Tony Horton... LOL that little kid is RIPPED for sure.. he was too darn cute doing the exercises with Steve and I. Yep got Steve-O down there too.. it was a family thang..
So tomorrow is the beloved Yoga-X I love yoga but darn that is super hard mart.. LOL but I love it when it is over, I feel all stretched out and powerful.. LOL
Welp I am pooped and ready for bed.. I'll catch you all on the flip side

PLYOMETRICS is a Killer

Today so far I have burned 714 calories.. not too shabby ehh?? I did the P90X Plyometrics today and OMG .. when Tony Horton says "This is the Mother of all P90X" I totally believe him.. the knee didn't give me any problems so I am excited about that. I am so tired and I know I gave 35% at most but I know I will get stronger and better at this for sure.. I just have to keep pushing play and believing in myself.
So far today I have 80 minutes of cardio.. and will probably go on another walk later with Mom. I could really use a good nap right about now but that isn't going to happen. zzzzzzzzzzzz OOOPPPS.. I actually think I just fell asleep at my desk shhh don't tell anyone.. I soooo have to make it to bed before midnight tonight.. this late night stuff is not working well for me..
Crap I totally lost my train of thought.. probably the lack of sleep.. so I guess I'll go for now.. sorry about that... arrghhh
