Beginning AGAIN

Mike and I have begun P90X once again.  We've been going strong for a few weeks now. I have lost 10 pounds again this time.  However, after we quit the first time I had gained about 20 back, so now I'm back to my start weight before I began P90X the first time.  I have so much work ahead of me.  I must keep going though; I have a bridesmaid dress I must fit into for a wedding this October (next month already!!). 

Moving

Well, so much for no ice cream (me) and no fried food (Mike).  We're getting ready to move, at least I'll get some exercise this week.  When we get to the new place our spare room will be the exercise room (along with a bunch of other things---really, the multi-purpose room).  I'm excited to get an elliptical or treadmill or stationary bike.  I can workout before work and then have the rest of the day to myself without feeling guilty.  Again, we'll see if I follow through.

10 Minutes

I have not been working out or eating right for a while....
Once again I had a family event where photos were taken of me and then posted on Facebook.  There were a few I had to untag myself in. Way too much ice cream and not enough calories burned!!
Mike and I both did 10-minute cardio burst this morning through The Biggest Loser 30-Day Jump Start video.  We are trying to change our lives (again) starting with today.  More exercise.  Eat right.  Avoid our biggest weaknesses: Mike will not eat fried foods and I'm staying away from ice cream, soft serve, and frozen yogurt.  We'll see how it goes......

Summer....

I didn't work out on Monday or today this week.  I did 10 minutes of abs on Tuesday and 10 minutes of cardio on Wednesday and yesterday.  I even vacuumed yesterday to add to the workout.  I'm trying to stay on the Special K diet as well.  I eat Special K cereal, waffles, or other products for two meals and then the third meal is anything.  I also have 2 Special K snacks throughout the day (90 calorie).  Lots of carbs, but also lots of fiber and protein too.  I need to work on being better about the 3rd meal and working out more than 10 minutes once in a while....but, at least I'm doing something.  I've cut way back on the amount of ice cream and soft serve I've been consuming.

Good Times

I completed a 20-minute workout today: Cardio Blast 1 & Cardio Blast 2.  I bought some Xantrex today to help me shed those unwanted love handles.  Mike doesn't like that stuff, but I like to think it helps.

Rainy Day

Yesterday I did 10 minutes of The Biggest Loser.  Since it is Week 2, I was supposed to do 2 routines (20 minutes total) and either didn't realize it or chose not to realize it.  Mike called me on it last night.  Today I completed a full 20 minutes: 10 minutes of upper body (easy, no sweat, literally) and 10 minutes of lower body (lots of sweat, sore gluteous maximus).  Now I'm going to go take a shower!

Oh, we had a wonderful weekend with the family.  I made this video of our bon fire fun.

Rainy Day

I was planning to take another 3-mile walk with Rocky today but when I woke up the weather was not very pleasant.  It's foggy, dreary, and storming.  SOOoo, I did the 10-minute jump start workout by The Biggest Loser.  I'm so out of shape!  I had to do some of the routines the way the "beginner" people do it (half-way).  Oh well, at least I got off the couch and did it!
