Hey Guys!!
I just finished day 3 of P90X lean! I made it the full hour and didn't skip any segments...I even did the one's that I did NOT want to do and knew I'd struggle with.
I also did the AB Ripper X. May I add, I HATE Ab Ripper X. I struggle and it's really hard. I still did it though. I am not at the point where I can do the full 24/25 reps per segment; but, I made my own goal as far as reps go and knocked out each segment.
When I struggle, this tells me that I need to keep practicing and keep trying. My body is weak and I am not in shape. Of course the first few weeks are going to be really hard.
I am going to level with you, I did NOT want to work out tonight! I didn't want to work out period. Today was sort of a rocky day emotionally for me. I stayed busy of course; but, it was today that I RREEAALLLY missed my husband. BAD. I have been sort of depressed all day. Of course, I got the things I needed to and wanted to done today. I didn't let my depression completely take over. I can't afford too. However, it was today that I really needed my husband and he just wasn't there. I HATE the Army today. I know, it's part of the training to have no contact with me...blah blah blah. Please keep those comments to yourself. It just doesn't change the fact that it still sucks. I just feel abandoned and an after thought. In some ways, I am upset with my husband for going through with this. I hear feelings like this are natural...especially, for something like this.
So, can you see why I didn't feel like working out today? I am just feeling totally blah! :-/
I am GLAD I did workout though! Even though emotionally I still feel sad; I put my body through hell for a good cause! To get fit and healthier. I didn't let myself down again today. I put one foot in front of the other and pressed on.
I used the "silence and cues" option again for my work out and jammed to Demi Lovato throughout! Thanks Demi for keeping me company and also thanks to the P90X clan for doing this workout with me! :) Tony Horton, you rock!
So, I am thinking about adding in a new workout..it's called "Hip Hop Abs" with Shaun T. I may or may not. I thought about doing P90X Doubles...but, backed myself out of that thought because...I am not ready for that much of a strenuous workout. So, I think I might add in Shaun T's creation. :) I LOVE to workout at night before bed. So, I think I will stick to P90X in the evenings and do Hip Hop Abs in the Morning or early afternoon. Whichever will work for me best! :)
I really need to get fit at least by the end of October so I can do that session I was talking about in the first post I think.
I started taking a supplement today called "Hydroxycut (caffeine free)". I take the pill twice a day, 30 minutes before a meal. It's supposed to help me lose weight. With me working out every day, drinking water throughout the day, and eating right...this pill should really add in the effects and work right.
We will see. So, I weighed myself naked last night and I am down to 155lbs. Last week I weight 158...so, I have lost some weight! When Andrew left, I weighed at 164lbs. So, I have lost about 11lbs! <3 That's awesome!! I am deeply proud of myself. :)
I stared at the mirror today and I can definitely see a difference in my hips and stomach. My stomach for example doesn't bulge out as far as it had before. :) This makes me so happy! My face has even thinned out. :) My smile isn't being swallowed by my cheeks anymore! Ha ha. My smile is wider and bigger now! :) Ha ha. I know totally weird that I even noticed that.
I hope one of these days my husband and I can video chat...you think he'll notice his wife looks healthier? Gee. I hope so! I personally hope it's a nice surprise for him!
For a snack, I am going to have some salad with Tofu. My husband would be saying, "That sounds gross!" Right about now...and I'd offer him some and he'd probably say, "No. I'm good." Hey! Don't knock it till you try Tofu! I am venturing out! Discovering new healthy adventures!
I hope all of you that are striving to lose weight, get fit, and haven't died trying yet, DON'T GIVE UP. Like me, I wanted to! Especially today; but, I pushed through. You can too!
And hey, try Tofu if you haven't already! You might like it. I hear it needs to be seasoned...I plan on looking up some recipes! :)
Well, I will write again tomorrow! I think tomorrow is the P90X version of Yoga. Yes, there's a difference. I have NEVER finished a full hour and a half of this workout before! I will try to tomorrow though.
Good night all my workout pioneers! Let's earn it and in the end feel like winners! Our gold medal will be our lives! We'll be fit, healthy, strong, and ultimately, not quitters!
