That's all I have to say..."ugh". It's no easier nor harder at 5am either! Plyometrics is HARD! And I have a feeling it's not ever going to get any easier...I will just be doing higher jumps!
So, I restarted P90X this week, without hubby. This means I can do it in the morning, and on my schedule...so far so good. It's SUPER tough waking at 5am...BUT I want to get it done!
Yesterday I did P90X in the morning, and then at lunch went to the gym for some good cardio on the Stepper and then on the treadmill using Cardio Coach. Check it out...it ROCKS!!!
THEN I attacked the freaking cake balls I'm making for the boys bake sale! Ugh! That sucks! My goal/plan today though is to eat fruit and/or veggies INSTEAD. I don't need those cake balls, and I don't want to count 15 pts on them ever again! BOLOGNA!
Hubby and I watched our show and then that was it... I was ready for bed. This is a record people...I was in bed ASLEEP by 10:10! HOLY MOLY! It's true...and I needed it. 5am comes early, and 2 hours worth of workouts I REALLY need it!!!
I want to lose 8lbs this month (or 10 better yet), and to do so I have the path clearly in front of me. I have the month's menus ready....I know what I'm going to do be doing at 5am...so really there is no reason I can't be successful. :)
Root me on ya'll!

Ouch!
That's right...OUCH! I'm aching ALL over today. It feels awesome. Yes, I just said that! I LOVE feeling this, well not actually the pain, but knowing what I'm doing is WORKING! Ouch - I just moved. Oooh, and don't make me laugh either - ouch. :)
Last night was tball practice. I hadn't premade dinner (bad idea)...so we didn't eat before heading out. Although, it's not like we get home in time to do much. It's basically changing the boys clothes, getting sippy cups ready, gathering equipment, hollering at the boys to come on...we've GOT to go! So, anyway... practice gets out at 7:30. By the time we roll back in the house it's almost 8! The boys go to bed at 8. Umm...dinner's not ready yet, or even started! Needless to say they had Spaghettio's and hot dogs (I know, what sorts of things am I teaching my kiddos?!). They played for a bit while I fixed a new recipe courtesy of the hungry-girl, put that in the oven...and then they got ready for bed. After the bedtime ritual of reading books, singing songs, back tickeling, hubby and I sat down to eat our meal. As we were eating we were thinking maybe we should wait until AFTER the workout. Good thinking...but too late now. We gave our tummy's about 30 - 45 mins to rest before we cranked out Day 2 of P90X - Plyometrics... the mother of all X workouts! Gulp...yeah, we should have waited to eat dinner...because every jump I wondered if I could handle it with all that was sitting in my belly! haha! Plyometrics is a jump training... and holy smokes was it a lot of jumping!! But, we did it...we survived day 2! Way to go us!!
So tonight is shoulders and arms...and I'm thinking how am I going to be able to do this...as I'm still so sore from the chest and back workout!!! By the way, I skipped a cardio workout at the gym today. I'm just not feeling it ... OUCH is about all I'm feeling!!!!
Eating is good...but again I worry about my connection with WW. I mean, it's been drilled in my head "Eat less, move more". And P90X wants you to eat more. According to X I should eat about 1800 calories (GULP!), and that would be way over the points for me. Yesterday I consumed 25pts which was about 1400 calories. 25pts is above my 21 daily allowance, but with the exercise I'm going to think it weighs out about right (yeah, did I tell you I did cardio kickboxing on my lunch hour yesterday too?!). I'm going to give it a few weeks and see if I need to tweak this even more. Because I'm not eating enough calories for the X, but I'm over in points. So...we shall see.
Okay...Day 3 here we come....
