Week 1 day 4

I have been doing really well. I've long since given up on the BFL and decided to try various exercise videos at home. I've been working out 2 and sometimes even 3 times a day and my eating has been good also. I'm not following a particular diet but I have managed to keep my calories under 1600 except for yesterday. I haven't logged my meals for yesterday yet but I did end up having 2 hamburgers and a half an order of small fires from McDonalds yesterday. To make up for it I did an extra workout. Turbo jam 20 min. I really am hoping to...

Week1 day 1

I know you guys are tried of seeing my many "Day 1's" but the truth is, I have been rather consistently working out. I just decided to start anew in order to have some folks on the boards to work out with. I'm a big time procrastinator and I need all of the motivation and support that I can get. Today I did my p90x as well as slim in 6. A sista is sore I tell ya. Debbie looks like a little pushover and after previewing her slim in "Start it up" Dvd My thoughts were "Piece of cake!" I wasn't even sure if I would do it because it did look...

I woke up this morning and did my p90 . I completed it but took some unscheduled rests because I had to get the kid ready. I also plan to do HH abs as well . I really need to get this weight off of me. A good 60 lbs or so would do me just right! I have this reunion coming up and I need to be looking good and to me that equals a noticeable weight loss.On a random hair note,I have an appointment for color and/or highlights on the 10th. Yippeee! I have to see what the stylists says but right now I'm thinking a light brown base color with caramel...

I am still working out but I have too improvise and I haven't been able to make it to the gym due to the kiddies being out of school. I'm still doing my p90 but I haven't been getting in much cardio. I attempted to do my cardio coach outside at 10:30 A.M. and nearly passed out due to the heat. needless to say I didn't finish the workout and decided to nix that idea. I did manage to make it through the first 6 intervals of work out 1 challenge 1 and half of the 1 minute sprint of challenge 2 before I gave up. I was pouring down with sweat....

Day 2

Okay , so the plan for today is to fore go the gym and work out at home. I also plan to do some additional Ab work because I need the most work in that area. I am so sore from yesterday, my arms feel like limp noodles. It was a chore to even wash myself, but like they say, " No pain, No gain!" I just can't wait until I can see some visible progress. I guess my number one priority...

Went to the gym and did the Precor machine for 35 minutes. I used cardio coach again and it wasn't as difficult as I thought. I can definitely afford to step it up a bit next time.Time: 35 MinutesDistance: 2.37 milesCalories: 348.6HR: avg:143 Max: 172Today was also my first day of my p90x challenge. I had chest and back today and it was tough as I really, really, REALLY hate push ups.

Here's the plan

I have been working out but I have missed maybe 1 or 2 days and I'm not too happy about it. I had to take the car to the shop yesterday and upon inspection found out that I needed new brakes and a rotor. needless to say my 2 hours that I planned to spend there before I headed off to the gym turned into 5+ and I never made it. Since June 4th marks the beginning of several challenges that I joined, I will begin blogging anew from that da...
