Good morning.

So here is my story and I am sticking to it.  I added to my workout.  I now do 90% of the P90X workout following the plan they provide.  I do improvise on the days when I do the ab-ripper; whatever the other workout is that day I skip it – I run 3 miles instead.  

So far this is week 2 with working all the muscle groups.  I will say that of all the workouts I did last week I found Plymetric X to be the hardest on my body.  I had pain in my legs like I never worked out before.  I felt like I never ran or walked for that matter.   

Sunday was a start for a new week and a new workout plan.  I did KempoX first thing out of bed.  That was a 481 calorie burn (according to my heart monitor)   Tonight will be a 3 mile run and ab-ripper.  I will be dong nothing on Wednesday (day off) and Thursday I will follow it up with a 3 mile run.  On Friday in the morning before a wedding that I am in I plan to do PlymetricX  that will give me the max of 702 calorie burn.   

I think I have this down to a T,  the most important thing is I FEEL GREAT!

Morning!

Last night I went back to the Reservoir and ran again.  It was an absolutely beautiful day/evening.  The temp was about 69/67 and it the woods the run was a nice cool run.   I planned on doing the same or better then the run on Tuesday (3.65m in 50:34 minutes).  I actually was very proud of my self even with a hard start I banged out Thursdays run (3.64m in 48:51 minutes) giving me a new personal record of 13:25 per mile.  I will say that I am very proud of my self; I only started running on May 13th 2009.  

Today is going to be a hard one, I don’t know if I want to do Yoga P90X or if I am going to be able to go to the gym and use my favorite new elliptical machine that kicks my butt every time. 

Saturday I have a bridal shower that I have to attend for 12pm but I think that because I am in the bridal party I might have to be there a bit before then… I really would like to go run on a trail (maybe I will recruit a friend.

Well anyways – have a good day!!!!

Happy friday

Morning!

Here does my morning venting session.   I went out and got batteries for my scale – I got on this morning and found out that I am still the same weight that I was 3 weeks ago (the last time I weighed my self).  I know that I should not care what the scale says because I lost inches.  Everyone tells me that I look like I lost weight.  I just thought that I would see something on the scale.  Anyways… my DH tells me last night that he thinks that I should step it up a little and work out more and try running harder.  (This is all after I told him that the scale did not move in weight)  I was very disappointed with that… of everyone I know he is the last person to tell me that I look like I lost anything or that I am doing a good job with working out and sticking to it.  He tells me that BUT only after I ask something or bring it up…

Okay now that I vented I will tell you about what I have planned today.

I had to have DH drive me today because I was not about to sit on the bus for 2 hours because of traffic.  So I picked up coffee on my drive in (that was nice I didn’t have to make an extra trip).  I want to run tonight but I am not to sure if I am going to because we have a 50% chance of rain on the radar.  I will be running if the weather holds out and if not… I will be doing my wonderful P90X – yoga.  

Food log:

Breakfast: life cereal, 1% milk – coffee with cream

Lunch:  flatbread with turkey, greens, strawberries, string cheese, and sun chips

Dinner: TBD

Snack:  yogurt light&fit

Hey there!

Well today was a much better day for me.  While my DH went to play hockey I went to the reservoir for a run.  Today was a semi better day.  3.65 In 50:34minutes that puts me at 13:52 per mile.  I think that is good for someone that started running on May 13th…

Tomorrow I plan on going to the track at the high school. I am not sure if I want to do that or try to run around by the house (I get board face around the house) I ca also do P90X yoga (that has been my favorite thing to do. 

Food log:

Breakfast: life cereal with 1% milk and coffee

Lunch: turkey of flat bread, yogurt, cheese stick, sun chips, and coffee

Dinner: tilapia, salad with cranberries, tomatoes, mushrooms, and FF dressing

Snack: strawberries

More to come tomorrow

Hi there!

Well today is Saturday and we had a Skate/Bike Jam in my brothers memory.  This is an annual Jam that kids from the Town get to hangout have a competition and raise money for skate park upkeep and whatever else might come up. 

My brother passed away May 23, 2007 from a heart defect called ARVD.  (www.ARVD.com)  he was 20 years of age.   This hard time had made life brighter to know so many people care and want to keep his memory alive.

I did not have time to run my usual run but I did spend some time on the elliptical last night and after that I ran 1 mile.   Today when I got home from the Skate Jam I did the P90X yoga DVD (I absolutely LOVE IT)

So here I go May’s recap:

This month I did not spend the full month running but in the last 2.5 week of May I ran 30 miles,  did P90X ab-ripper 10X,  P90X yoga -3x, Elliptical 10X, yoga – 10x.   I believe that I did a good job with!!!

Tomorrow my DH and I are taking the boat out.  This will be nice.  I think that I might take a run along the lake while he is out of the lake with the boys ( I am not t crazy about boating (not good for my skin to be exposed to all that sun. 

Morning!

Well I started off my Thursday with my GF telling me that she does not want to go running… at 1st I was not feeling going – then my DH said that he was going to a friends house and I remembered that they have this NICE trail right there.  I geared up and went with him; while the guys were playing around with cars I went to the trail and ran 3.29 in 45 min.  That was 2 good runs back to back.  NOTHING HURTS THIS MORNING!!!!

I plan on going to the gym tonight with the boys (love using the Police Academy gym) I will do the P90X Ab-ripper with them (I tend to show them up on this one) and then I will do the new Elliptical OR the bike for 45 minutes…  

BTW I have no clue what I weigh (scale needs ne batteries that I have not replaced in 2 weeks now) just taking my time with this.  I do have the WII fit so I might get on that just to get an idea…

Well have a good one…

Food log:

Breakfast: Corn flakes with 1% milk

Lunch: flatbread, salmon grilled, dark greens.  Strawberries, yogurt, and string cheese

Snack: tortilla scoops

Dinner:  salad with baby tomatoes, mushrooms, croutons, chicken.

I am sure that I will add something else in there some please (dinner) but I am not sure of what yet.

I am a very happy camper as well be cause last night I got 2 tickets to see No Doubt and Paramore at the Mohegan Sun Arena.   This is going to be a great show!!!! (This was really a gift to my self for staying with the running and working on my heath and relieving the stress from my body).   

Today I plan on doing another run/walk at the track.  Thursday is the day when my friend and I go, but because I went last night I will take it easy today.  I still plan on 30 minutes of 2.5 miles – I think that I can bang that out easy. 

Pleasure for my belly today consists of:

Breakfast: Fiber One cereal with 1% milk

Lunch: flat bread with turkey breast, tomato, and greens.  Yogurt, string cheese, and strawberries

Dinner: I think that I want to have a slice of salmon with salad.

Morning!

Well I didn’t do anything at all last night, with the weather change my knees hurt and I wanted to do was sleep.  I feel very guilty today for not doing anything last night.   The only thing I can say is that I changed my day off.   I planed to do the P90X – yoga but didn’t do that ( I only watched it) its interesting that it’s the same moved that I already do every other day on my “Demand channel”  the only difference is that this is 1 .5 hours and on Comcast its 50 minutes.

Today I am going to run on the treadmill, I just can’t do the rain run.  I think that maybe when I get better at it I will.  I think that I will also do some P90X – abs ripper ( I don’t have this DVD but I remember all the moved from working out with DH and his friend at the gym ( I do this once a week – go with the boys).

Oh yeah I have noticed that I have not dropping any weight, I also noticed that my inches are not getting much smaller yet my clothing is fitting better.  Very strange behavior from my body… any suggestions for me, or do I just chill out and keep doing what I’m doing it will all catch up in time.

So this past weekend was a holiday weekend.  FOR ME THAT IS A KILLER ALWAYS!  I will say that I have a HUGE… NSV… On Friday I was at a friend’s house and while the boys went to Lowes to by some building materials I spent 30 minutes on the elliptical at my friend’s house.  Saturday I only did strength nothing more (made my abs hurt).  Sunday I went to the gym with my DH and I worked out for 45 minutes of the new Elliptical.  So I was planning on my Monday “picnic” adventure.  We had to picnics to go to. 

Monday ended with a bang for me.  After having 2 hamburgers, 2 bowl of macaroni salad, strawberry shortcake piece, and fruit.  I went home changed and ran 3.46 miles. There Is nothing better then not feeling guilty that I ate all the food (that’s not that great for me).  The fact that I went to work out after vs. sitting on the couch is the best thing I could have and did Monday.

Today I plan on going running only because tomorrow will be very rainy out and I really don’t want to do run in the rain.  I might use the treadmill OR I might even just to Yoga/polities at home.
