Sorry I've been MIA. I have been exercising though. Angela and I are doing 5 am and 6 am classes at the gym, and I'm training for a tri with Eric. I have a schedule for losing a pound a week as well, and am hoping to be 11 lbs lighter for Stephanie's wedding. I am currently sitting at 132. Ideally, I'd like to weigh 115 - 119. We'll see how far I can get. I think after our vacation, I'll add p90x2 in as well.
We'll see what happens. For now, I really need to get back to counting my calories better. Making sure I'm staying in the range I'm supposed to.

Um... wow...
Where have I been? Honestly, I've been a little sick-ish and exhausted lately, so I ruined my streak of good weeks. So here's to starting over AGAIN. So annoyed with myself, but I have good reason, so I'll get over it. I still did yoga the whole time - which I love!
I also added a ton more stuff than just p90x2. Eric and I are now training for a triathlon. We need to decide which one to sign-up for, just not sure which one we're doing. So I've been running - which is going really well. I've been doing a couch potato to 5k app on my phone will do week 2 day 3 tomorrow. My knee hasn't hurt and it's been great to learn to run again. I'm also using vibrams - for barefoot running - and it really has changed the way I run. I love it. It's putting my legs back in shape - so I'm kinda addicted. :)
I also bought a road bike, but still need to do more running, and more swimming. I've done it a few times, but it needs to be more.
I also added three apps on my phone - 20 chin-ups, 100 push-ups, and easy legs. The chin-up and push-ups are a six week program designed to give make you do 20 chin-ups and 100 push-ups in 6 weeks. You do them three times a week - so every mon, wed, fri I do them. Then I do easy legs tues, thurs and sat after running.
Anyway, Angela wants to try p90x2 with me. So I started it again on Monday.
Here are my total body results:
1 arm chest press - 12 with 15 both arms
4 position pull up: 2 sets/3 sets
push up side arm balance: 10/13
switch lunge press: 6 with 15/again
warrior 3 kickback: 8 with 15 - left leg/6 with 16
warrior 3 curls: right leg - 8 with 15/6 with 15
boing push up - 10/9
leverl pull up: 3 touching chair each time between/1
mule kick burpee: 6/3
swimmers curl in half chair: 8 with right leg on left/6 - need to get my tens out of the car
balance kick back: 8 on both sides with 15
rocket launcher preacher curl: 8 with 15/5

Second week of p90x2
As I start the second week of p90x2, I have lost my partner. So much for our challenge right?
Oh well - I promised myself this time around that I would do it, so doing it I am. And I'm eating the diet too - so that should help a lot in these last few pounds.
More to report later!

Total body and ab ripper
Molly and I have been doing a fabulous job except for yesterday she only came for the last ten minutes - which was of the recovery and mobility dvd. You can also rest this day, but I did the DVD - it was fun. I did the total body and ab ripper by myself tonight.
I've been trying to do the lemonade cleanse, but only did it for one day. BUT, it's brought me back into control, and I haven't had any sugar. So I'm doing the lemonade thing each day for as long as I can, until I can get to three days. We'll see how long it takes. haha
1 arm chest press: 10 with 10 -each side/ same
4 position pull up: 3 sets / 2 sets
push up side arm balance: 18/ 16
switch lunge press: 9 with 10/ 6
warrior 3 kick back: 8 with 10/ same
warrior 3 curl: 10 with 10/ 8 with 10
boing push up: 7/ 5
crunchy lever pull up: 2?/ 1.5 ( do a sit up from hanging basically)
mule kick burpee: 6/ 3
swimmers curl press in 1/2 chair: 6/ 5 with 10
balance kickback on ball: 8 with 10/ 8 with 10 no ball
preacher curl: 10 with 10/ same
and abs!

Well... I was doing good. TRY AGAIN!
So, I got through two and a half weeks of P90x2 - even though my blog doesn't reflect it, and then got a little bit sick, and decided to start over. Plus, I wasn't being good about the nutrition, so it was time.
Molly made a promise to me that she would exercise with me every day for all of p90x2. We'll see how we both do. We are also doing a challenge - a modified version of the one steph, my mom and I did that completely failed. She has to come exercise with me each morning, we aren't eating sugar, and something else I can't remember. haha So a dollar in the jar for each thing.
We did core this morning - and tomorrow have plyocide, then yoga at the gym. She signed up for a membership and I'm so excited about it!
I tried doing the lemonade cleanse my mom loves, but broke down at 7 pm when Eric made delicious chicken nuggets. Whoops! Try again tomorrow? Probably.
Anyway, I'm not hoping to lose weight this time. I mean, yes that would be nice - but this time I'm going to be more focused on becoming super fit/toned - and the weight will just come with it I think. I'll still obviously check my weight all the time - but be more focused on how I look than the number on the scale.
