The new work out has worked

When we left off last i was saying that i was starting a new work out called insanity and omg this really has worked out for me so far. Next post i will put a before picture.

The P90X finale?

Hi everyone if you’ve been following me over the past 8 weeks you have seen my struggles and my triumphs. But has i stated in week one working out for me is like a dysfunctional relationship we’re on and off. i didn’t anticipate this semester of school to be as intense as it was it was defiantly a doozy. After week five i just couldn’t do it anymore I wasnt consistent with my workouts. I can say that my eating habits stayed good and i guess the good news is that I didn’t gain any weight but I didn’t loss any either is the cup half full or half empty?

I had a conversation with my aunt about my workout and she suggested that she and i switch workout dvd’s and propose a challenge so for the next eight weeks i will be doing the insanity dvd’s and she’s doing the P90x the winner gets bragging rights. I started yesterday and let me just say ouch I don’t know if you know what P90x and insanity are but they are both very intense, cardiovascular driven, with a splash of yoga, kickboxing, and any other hard workout  that you can think of. I’m in so much pain today that I can barely walk but no pain no gain it hurts so good. So in the next f0ur week i will post a progress picture biot until then wish me luck.

My masterpiece

A fresh start!!!

Hello everyone if you’ve been keeping up with the workout you know that last week i wasn’t as successful as I wanted to be. However i did end the week with a bang so to speak by going back to my P90X video work on dvd plyometrics  oh my goodness it’s the most in workout that I’ve ever done. I’m so sore in places that i never knew that I had and this is not the first time that I’ve done that workout its gets your heart pumping and your metabolism  moving. So for this week I plan to continue this dvd and also work on my abs as well as keep going on my healthy food plan.

Sore Body

If I Only had the Time

Week  number 4 is not going so well i have shamefully not worked out one day this week i truly had no extra time to get in even my 20 min dvd. Like i said in week 2 life gets in the way and i know the some people would see this as just an excuse and because of that im not letting this week-end with getting some kind of cardio in for this week. As a matter a fact im going for a walk when i finish this post. The good new in all of this is that I’ve kept my eating habits in good standings nothing greasy or fried and for dinner leafy greens and baked protein. So i look that this image thinking i can do this and im going to refocus this always happens just like a bad relationship on again off again.

Is that me?

Using the Weather to sweat!!!

Hello everyone this is week number three of my workout challenge, and surprisingly this is the first week that i can say that i didn’t want to find something else to do instead of working out. However, it’s only Tuesday so we will see how it go’s. This my strategy is to have healthy carbohydrates like whole grains and vegetables which i love anyway so it’s not difficult for me to which that part of my diet. Now for me this will work but my problem is the meat that i should have baked, broiled, or BBQ and the meat that i WANT to have fried it to me is more time-consuming to prepare the should meat than the want meats from a restaurant. So I decided to compromise with myself by going to the restaurant BUT choosing the healthier prepared meat  and then take it home and prepared my own sides.

Using the weather to sweat is something that i like to do while i can living in Michigan so the exercise video for the week is P90X this dvd set has 12 dvd’s im using the one titled AB RIPPER X and let me just say if you’ve ever seen the infomercial it’s even harder than that the 20 min dvd is very intense in fact it’s insane along with that i will going jogging once the sun goes down at around 8 pm. I will let you know how my changes word this week i will see you next week same time same place.

One Rough Week

This is the end of the first week of my workout challenge. And for this week i started off slow so i used the slim in 6 dvd which is to sculpt out my six-pack this for me is the easiest way to start because my stomach is always the first place i see results. And for the other half of my workout i walked and ran outside to help my real problem area which is my thighs. Working out is something that I have always done however, it for me is just like a person in a dysfunctional relationship it’s on again off again. So since I’m ON right now im going to make this work, along with working out im also eating better more fish, less red meat, and having a fruit and veggie smoothie every morning using my trusty Vita Mixer. I think that most women who want to be fit let life get in the way and that is also my problem there is always something else I could be doing like homework for school,  going to work, or just being a couch potato. With this being the first full week of fitness im not going to lie it was hard but I did it and I’ve been sore everyday. I can already see a very small change in my body it very small but it motivates me to keep going. Cant wait to check in with you next week.

What Do My Numbers Tell Me?

Recently, on June 28, 2011 to be exact,  my job offered all their employee’s with the option to get a fitness measure chart created, by one of the employee’s that works in our health and fitness department. So I thought, this will be great I can get an accurate number of my height, weight, and body mass index. But after the numbers came back they stated that I’m overweight  talk about a blow to the ego. The employee was 18 and 100 pounds she we as women always have to work harder I just couldn’t believe the numbers. But I couldn’t let that keep me down so I’ve decided to use some of the tools that I already have at home, and challenge myself to workout everyday, well five days a week. I’m going to use a series of different workout dvd’s like P90X, Power Fit, and, Slim in 6 and keep the world posted on my progress I know this can be done but I also know that it won’t be easy. Hang on for the ride.
