stretch x

Finally! A rest day! I am happy to report that my soreness is manageable and I do not wince when I am hugged.

We let the kids stretch with us tonight.

That.was.interesting.

There was lots of falling over and yelping. They were hilarious.

My favorite was a comment by Rachel, my four year old. Speaking about Tony Horton she says, "Hey!!! That's not fair! He's just walking around watching everyone else do all the work!!"

Amen sister. Amen.

p90x - update

Made it through plyometrics without puking. Did not wake up as sore as I thought I would. Guess I am in better shape than I thought? Nope. The soreness really kicked in by the afternoon. Could not lower myself into sitting positions. Plopped down everywhere my butt led.

Have severely increased my water intake from none to some. That counts as severe, right? This has led to more bathroom breaks which has pain implications as well. (See above.)

I squealed involuntarily when a lady hugged me at church. She jumped. Allen laughed. My triceps hurt soooo bad. 

Warming up for last night's workout, I thought I was doing better - until I tried a jumping jack. Got my hands half way up and screamed out in pain. Finished the warm up with my hands on my hips.

Already sick of eggs. It's only day 4. Thinking this is going to be a long 3 months.

p90x - day 1

P90X - day one: Done. Did not puke. But tomorrow is plyometrics, so there is still a pretty good chance...

Took a shower after workout. Could not wash my hair. Held my hands near my ears and rubbed my head on them the best I could. No conditioner. I guess the bands work better than I thought. Total muscle fatigue.

Eating went good. Boy, you sure get to eat a lot of food when none of the calories are bread or candy. Having a hard time reaching my calorie goal. (Those are words I have never said before.)

let the diet begin

December was a hard month...diet wise. Mexico added about 10 pounds to my waistline and Christmas another 5. It is hard to say "no" to free pina coladas. And my mom is a great baker - I think I ate my body weight in cookies during the holidays.

Anyway, time to get back to it. Time to switch from a high carbohydrate with sugar on the side diet to a high protein low carb one. Also time to get moving. Allen and I have decided to tackle P90X again. We did it a couple years ago, but we only made it 60 days. It's crazy intense. But here we go again.

Tomorrow it starts. I am excited and anxious all at once. So tonight, I am going to finish off the ice cream in preparation for my new life. And I wonder why I have diet issues...
