So I don’t really like the idea of setting resolutions because I think I have a tendency to make excuses to not follow through, or I completely forget about them entirely-even when written down. However, if I make a sort of pact or goal with myself, that is more than likely going to be followed through appropriately. Anyways, I am just happy that today I ate an egg roll guilt free because all i did was make sure that I am sticking to my calorie intake and not adding a lot of sugar or fat in my daily meals. I used to beat myself up about all that stuff. Not anymore, and I am so very happy about it.

I guess I should start off with HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!! Since I haven’t been on here for over 6 months. I don’t know why I stopped being on here, I like this site. Anyways…I stopped working out a bit and stayed around 165 which isn’t that bad, and I was seeing results in my inches lost. However, at the end of October (October 29th) to be exact my mother passed away. It is unreal to even type those words. She was only 49 and it was extremely sudden. Less than 12 hours prior I spoke to her, told her I loved her and she was gone.I miss her dearly and everyone keeps saying how strong I am to get through everything like I do. I guess. I am just trying to live for my mother who can no longer live for herself.

When I came back from dealing with family members and such in my hometown, I went down in my weight to 159-160.  Slowly as I have been regaining my everyday self I have come back with a welcoming to my fast food love affairs. Late last week I was 173 and right now I am 170.2lbs  I have a new focus and a new idea of what I want to accomplish and I plan on sticking to it. I have a tendency to not account for my actions and not focus on me, but I will this time around. This time just feels different. I am finding things I like and think I can live with when it comes to eating and exercise and I really feel it could be the time I get this right.

So my work out partner-who I might add has been M.I.A. for 11 of my last 14 workouts has decided to take his P90X home and do it there instead of waking up early and meeting me at the office where we do our workouts at. So I will have to find a new plan and stick to it and find my own motivation:( Tomorrow was supposed to be Week 3 Day 1 of my P90X transformation!! But I guess I will have to modify and adjust my workout plan to a more gym oriented plan or break down and buy one myself-or maybe not cause I am so cheap + broke and those things don’t do well with the P90X System…..I know I can find some things online- but I stay in my house too much already…Here’s to the gym- I will be seeing you all too soon-

Hope everyone is doing well- Oh and I lost 1 inch on my waist and 1.5 on my hips!! Yay me–now if only my thighs could shrink..lol

Some people I work with believe me to be the life of the party..and because I work with them I really don’t see it as much when they are trying to give me a compliment…well Last night I went to the ballroom dancing party that occurs after the Friday night class (not with coworkers). Last week I went to the class and learned the Cha Cha…I learned that me and the Cha Cha don’t work well with music…but I can count the steps..anyways..After the ballroom party we went to this night club called New York New York and since the ballroom party I was getting told how great I was and how much fun people have around me and how if I wasn’t going then they didn’t want to go…I swear this was such an energy boost to dance all night!!! Which I did and now my head and feet hurt equally. Lol.I swear my pinky toe felt like it was cut off after I took my shoes off last night. But I had a lot of fun yesterday and that is all that matter. It was all a great workout!!!

I did Week 2 Day 1 of my P90x workout and I am so very happy!! After that I “ran” for about an hour on the elliptical and found a great way to keep my motivation going while doing such a mundane thing. I ate a healthy quesadilla of black beans, diced tomatoes, and nonfat mozzarella cheese on a spinach tortilla AND THEN…it was on for approx 2 hours of high paced dancing. (give or take on the time…I mean I had to sit down every once in a while). My body feels very lazy today…but do not worry I will be working out again shortly….sometime today…I have Plyometrics and I may hit the gym for some cardio-at least 60-90 mins worth.

Hope all well on this weekend!!!

This past weekend I was go go go! And that combined with my inability to get a decent nights rest on a regular basis wore me down. I am now steadily recovering from some sort of @$$ kicking stuffy head w/ running nose, sore throat, body ache, sneezing combination that gave me more energy in the afternoon so I did a good amount of workouts then. Well that didn’t help with the sleep because instead of making me tired the P90X workouts in the afternoon gave me so much more energy! And I just didn’t want to sit down and go to bed when I went home. Today I feel like I could sneeze, but a bit better and did Kenpo X of P90X- my days have been a little off My P90X has been modified with some additions and due to my work schedule-But still trying to eat as right as I can- (You know my cravingsJ)-I did
Day 1 p90xDay 2 p90xDay 3 p90x (+ballroom dancing) Cardio and 2 hours of dancing Day 4 Off Day5 p90xDay 6 p90xDay 7- p90x I think that tomorrow will be a great day to do my Day 8 (actually Day 7) of P90X and then on to a hopefully steady week 2. Wish me luck!

I have always thought you should give into your cravings, but on a moderate level. And today…I drove till I found a suitable place to help me with my craving today. Sushi. It was as relaxing as having a drink! I am so happy I did not just go home!! I guess sushi is no that bad of a craving, and an upside is I tried Eel and Squid for the first time today…I have normally kept my sushi eating to the basics but felt adventurous today!!:) Yay me. I think I sort of deserved it anyways. My workout partner bailed today and it’s only day 3 of P90x. I would just do it at home, but since he brought it and I agreed to do it, we keep it at the office so I can just go there and take a shower at work in the morn. It works out for the most part. Anyways, instead of resetting my alarms for a later time, I crawled out of bed at 5:30am and started my workout at the office by 6:00 am. I am so sore….But it’s ok:) cause I have sushi.:):)

So…A coworker/friend asked me a few days ago to do the intense P90X…..So…today was day 2 and man am I beat. I never thought I was an out of shape person, but maybe this job I have been in for the past 18 months has sort of placed me in that position. I mean with day to day schedule changes and trying to make sure I even remember to eat, the last few months have been hectic. However, I decided to “Decide, Commit and Succeed” (Beachbody Motto). I normally don’t do things that require a DVD, but it seems promising and I hope I see the results I want to see since I am putting in the work and trying to stick to all aspects of the eating plan…I know it’s only day 2, but I am going to stay as true as I can to this. When I was working out at the gym I did tons of cardio and tried to eat healthy but I didn’t follow a real set plan. I saw a few results but it gets old. I don’t this will get old at all and I don’t think it will.
