It's time to kick some A$$!!

Something amazing happened this week. I BARELY GAINED WEIGHT! I am up .6 to 166.6!!!!!! That is amazing!!!!!

I feel like I got a free pass this week. A week to eat what I want and not exercise and not gain a whole pound.

Some of my eats this week were pizza nova a pound of wings subway 2 bowls of pasta at once a plate of fries thanksgiving leftovers in heaping amounts and a footlong sub.

But you know what I think is different this time? I ate a very sensible breakfast and lunch on most days. But I need to get my ass back into gear. My cousin is just killing it. She's down 21 lbs I want that too! I want us to be doing it together but I cant get my shit right this past week. I just want to indulge in ALLL my cravings and then say OK now FUCK OFF!!! I may do that today. I don't know. But I want to get back into my workouts today. BILLY BLANKS HERE I COME!!! I need to step it up and Billy will help me.


I have an excuse for not working out this week. Firstly my glands have been swollen all week. I was pounding back the vitamin C all week so I wouldn't get sick sick. ALSO after that long thanksgiving of sleeping in I got out of my habit of waking up at 5:20 and it became sooo difficult. My mom also started saying that she was going to get a gym membership for us to share and it got me thinking that I'd switch my workouts to after work. Then I could have a little more sleep and Maybe get to work earlier and leave earlier. So with thinking i would do it in the afternoon and shit it just never got done. But today billy starts. it all starts. Time to lose another 6 or more!!!


I have not decided yet but I MIGHT give into a Mcdonalds craving I've had all fucking week. It's killing me and it needs to be over with or it will continue to haunt me. I wll let all yall know how it goes :)
 
Man i fucked up and everything got deleted. Sorry guy its gonna be point form now:

- I am 168.6 today... up 2 lbs. going the wrong way.
- I have managed to keep eating very sensibly during the day. Breakfasts and lunches have been great. Dinners are my downfall
- I do not enjoy eating unhealthily.... but I am addicted to it and cannot stop.
- I have a ton of bad stuff coming up. My friend and mine birthday celebration tonight.... then my birthday on monday and all the bad stuff that goes with that (dinners and another party).
- I have decided that I am going to be starting P90X in the very near future. I just want to wait until most of the bad is out of the way. But I am very excited and I will be documenting it and I really want to stick to it so I can have something to show for it all.

Thats it thats all. Chao for now!
 
Just wanted to say I'm going through the same thing right now with a lot of opportunities for bad eating. I had my friend's baby shower today, where I proceeded to eat a piece of cake and a cupcake, among other things. Oh, and my birthday is the day after yours on Tuesday!! :party: So I have accepted the fact that my weight is probably gonna flucuate widely, and I will just get back to it as soon as possible. Please give us the report on P90x whenever you start doing it. I'm kinda curious about it, and also kind afraid of it, lol.
 
Hey adeon!! Thanks for your sweet encouragement! Don't give up! You got this! Everyone has bad moments every now and then. The important thing is to get right back up...u know? And you've had more good days than bad, which tells me that you will be successful in your "quest" (sorry if that sounds corny lol)! Will check on you later! Take care girlie! =)
 
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Amandaaaa..... haaaappy birthdaaaay tooooo youuuuuu!!!!!!! (pretend I'm singing it!):party:

Love

Laele
 
Happy Birthday - birthday calories don't count but today is a new start! Hope you have an amazing year starting today!! Looking forward to your update!
 
woww thanks everyone for the bday wishes!!!! That was very sweet! Yesterday I got unexpectedly drunk. one good thing came out of it... I called my bf and talked to him for 20 minutes. Man I missed talking to him. And bad things..... called in sick for work today and I feel very depressed and unmotivated all of a sudden today. I feel like I just want to quite my job.... but I think it is because I did nothing but lay around all day. I can't afford to lose my job. it is the best thing going for me right now I need to keep it up and pay down some debt.

So I haven't started P90X yet. I have already downloaded all the videos and I have the fitness guide with my schedule and workout sheets (they really encourage you to write everything down). I was going to start it on November 1st, but I need to start it after Thursday. So either this Friday or Next Friday. Seeing as how I still have some partying and no weights or anything I am going to start it next Friday. I've decided that I am going to take some photos for everyone to see the results as it goes by. This weekend I get paid and I will be purchasing some 5 lb weights and the recovery formula to get me started. I already have resistance bands that I will use for my pull ups for now... and in two weeks I'll reward myself with an 8 lb set of weights (maybe 10s too). I've been watching vids on results and I am really pumped to just get started already.

So nothing good has happened lately workout and eat wise. Going to red Lobster for dinner tomorrow night. Pretty stoked for that. But I really want to get back into things ASAP.
 
Yes!! As I said this morning! Day 1 of P90X!! Almost complete! I had to start the week halfway through because of the time I want my rest day and such confusing things of that nature. So today I started with yoga.... 90 minutes of it. More yoga than I can handle. And if I told you it was easy I'd be lying. The first 45 minutes had me sweating up a storm and the last 45 were slightly more relaxing.

My eats have been great today.

2 Hb eggs on toast
chicken sandwich (deli chicken)
one salad with pomegranate vinegarette
banana
protein shake with 1/2 cup of mil and 1/2 cup of water

Already on my first day I have had cravings for chicken wings and other bad things. I just need to accept that I will probably always have these cravings and I just need to say no. They become easier to manage as I get further into my plan.

I also took some before pics and changed my ticker to reflect my start weight. I weighed in this morning at 168.6 so I put it to 169. I will post the befores when I post my 30 days.

So I am feeling very lazy and rested now so I am going to shower and go to sleep.

Will update soon.
 
Day 3 of P90X almost over. I just have to get through the rest of the evening smoothly and I'll be fine.... but today is not like any other day. Today is my friends birthday and she has invited me out for a drinky drink. I told her I'm not drinking but I'll gladly come out. I plan on eating a salad and just having some water. then I can chat and eat while they drink and not just sit there with a water in my hand. It might help me resist the urge to get a drink if I'm occupying my time.

Today was the Kenpo X workout. It was tough! My heart was about to burst out of my chest. And right after the water breaks he would have us doing star jumps to get our heart rate right back up. He is crazy. But I listened to him.

Had my usual eats today for breakfast and lunch and my snack. And had a protein shake after my workout and will have that salad later. I'm going to look into the amount of calories I'm having daily. I do NOT want to be eating too less calories but I think it's possible I am. I also have this huge gap between lunch and dinner and I think I should throw in another snack into there. The numbers are dropping on the scale and that excites me.

But the food cravings just never end. I get tastes in my palat that feel like they need to be satisfied. It's annoying. I just wish they never existed. But I will keep pushing through and giving my all until the end. 4 weeks and I'll give into a bad eat.
 
Day 5 of P90X destroyed. And so am I. I did a bad thing. I think I did something in an incorrect form.... because I messed up a tiny mussle in my back. I feel like I pulled it. And I have 5 more workouts to go before I get a rest day. Fortunately I dont think we work on back again for like 5 4 days so I think I will have time to rest it. Plus I have yoga on Monday so that should assist with the injury.

The workout itself was soo tough today. It was chest and back plus ab ripper. I do actually feel wiped. But not total body. Only my arms chest and back. I know I will be feeling it tomorrow. Stuck to my usual eats today. Just trying to keep it nice and easy. Take everything one day at a time. Stick to it. Thats all I gotta do... just stick to it.

I am taking a vitamin C and a multivitamin daily to try and help me stay nourished and healthy through these first tough workouts espescially. I know it will get easier eventually.

But what really sucks right now is my lack of strength in my core. I have NONE. I could barely do any of the moves in the ab ripper today. I seriously struggled. I guess it all comes with time. By the end of this all I'll be doing everything with ease and ready for a second round to get the full effects.

Heres to another good day :hurray::cheers2:
 
Hey Adeon! Hope your back is ok! Be careful! I've heard good things about P90X. When I first heard about it at school, I thought it was a drug. lol But yeah someone in my class tried it and has lost weight. You're not solely relying on the vitamins right? Hope you're getting all your nutrients girlie! Sounds like you got the motivation you needed though so good job! Kick some ass! lol
 
Uh oh, make sure you are taking care of yourself, lady! Watch that back closely, that's nothing you want to be messing with. But great job with the P90X! I need to start doing something besides running. We've got a gym in my building but I'm intimidated by the machines, haha. Maybe some morning at like 5am I'll go try them out. Anyway, keep up the good work and keep remembering just what you said... take everything one day at a time, and just stick to it!
 
hey girlies thanks for coming by. ITs nice to have some visitors in here now and then :) laura do not be afraid of the machines. I have never had a problem with making an ass out of myself and just trying to figure them out and doing it wrong and such... everyone goes through it once right? Im sure youll feel really good once you get on them. Actually machines are really looked down upon by some trainers. maybe get some dumbells and you can do the workouts in your own home?

And soccer I am eating very well to get my nutrients. I just dont think I get all the nutrients I need in a day through my diet alone so I take the multivitamin to ensure Im getting everything.

And my back is much better. I think I just overworked it that day. Or did a move out of good form, but it feels fine now. :hurray:
 
DAY 7 of P90X

Everything went more than well today. But first I will talk about yesterday. I did really well yesterday and bought some new protein powder with creatine in it. It's chocolate and I love it. So my eats went well until after work. My mom wanted to get beer. And I told her I wasnt going to have any and her jaw dropped. So I had a light beer. Then I smoked a joint.... alone I know I'm a loser... and then the food cravings came in. I suggested making a frozen pizza and she did not decline. So I had two slices of it and another half tall can of beer. I worked out the calories for my day before the pizza and I was at 1130 including the one beer. So I'm sure I did fine... and the scale told me so today.

Today has been good. Did shoulders arms and abs. It was a good workout and it FLEW by soo quickly. I am already starting to see some changes in my stomach and I am absolutely THRILLED!! I am soo excited to see next week and the weeks to come. Ate very well today also.

I went out for breakfast with my family.... which I was dreading. I ended up getting 2 eggs scrambled with ham and toast and home fries and a fruit cup. BUTTTTTT I got brown unbuttered toast and asked them to use as little cooking oil for my food and I gave all my home fries away. So all in all I think the breakfast went very well. Came home and had a nap and after my workout went to work and had 1/4 drk chicken with salad and half a baked potato with salsa yum yum... and also a protein shake right after my workout.

Tomorrow is my first weigh in and I cant weight to see what that number is going to be. It was already fairly low today. I think it might go up from today but I really hope it doesnt.

This week is going to be very tough for me to get all my workouts in. Theres drama going on at the restaurant and right now we dont have any managers for the restaurant... only on the harveys side... so the owner is making the schedules and he gave me 5 shifts. ughh. So I am going to be dying this week.. but I am going to push through it. I think that these next 2 months are going to be a real struggle with the festive special going on and everything. But I'll make it happen and I'll keep kicking ass.

Heres to another day and a week down only 12 left! :party:
 
Are you having fun missy? lol What moves do you have to do? Is it like a workout video format where someone guides you through the movements? G job w/ the breakfast! Sorry about the shifts...Hope they aren't too bad. Stay strong...sounds like you're doing super! =)
 
hey soccer I am having a great time so far. Everything is going wonderfully and smoothly. My back is better and I'm really ready to kick some ass. I am just uploading a video on youtube but I will put a video of what p90x is after thats finished. It's basically a 12 disc DVD set and one hard ass personal trainer telling you what to do and doing it with you and with 3 or 4 other people. It's mostly strength training but there is cardio and yoga in it as well. An overall great mix.
