Some updates

Soooo...I've decided that every time I skip a day - and DO NOT make it up on my rest day, that I have to start over. So, we're starting over. It's actually good because Dustin - my friend from work - gave me the nutrition guide for p90. So now I'm going to start that also.

I'm a level one for the plan. If I were to do the portion plan - I would eat 5 servings of proteins, two of dairy, one of fruit, two of veggies, one of fats, one of carbs, and three of diff kinds of snacks for the first phase. You can do phase one until you feel like you've lost the weight you wanted to lose. I think I'll probably have to do this one for a bit.

If you do the meal plan, then they actually list what you should eat - how much - and have recipes for things. Pretty snazzy huh? I think I'll do the meal plan - the only thing is - it has a lot of fish. So maybe not? I'll look at it more in depth tomorrow and see. Probably start that Wednesday. So I'll need to print page 32 from the book and go grocery shopping.

If I want to do the portion plan - then I'll print page 28 which tells me what and how much of something I can eat.

so here goes all this!!

Day 5 - back and legs, ab ripper

So I went to bed at 12:30 am on thursday, so I wasn't able to get up and do day 4. SO I missed yoga - which I love - so I'll either do it tonight or on sunday for my rest day - instead of resting.

Today though, even though it was another late night, I got up - ran with Molly two miles, and came back and did p90. I'm gonna have to get ready SUPER fast. lol

Chair with one foot for all of these:

Reverse grip chin ups: 7/8
Wide front pull ups: 8/8 - I don;'t think I'll ever be off the chair
Close grip overhand pull ups: 5
switch grip pull ups: 2 switches/2 switches
Regular: 6

Tuesday, Day 2

Molly didn't come over - but I did plyometrics this morning anyway. Yay for me! I don't think she is going to do it with me- so everybody keep rooting me on! I'm determined to go through all 90 days.

Also went and ran 1.7 miles today with Molly. Also confronted the roller blade dude, and told him to leave his stick off my dogs, and they would leave him alone. We'll see.

Anyway, yay for exercise!

Also, just so you know, yes we went running this morning. :) She wants to train for a 5k, and I'm training for a duathlon.

So here goes today! We are going to get up every day - do p90x before running, and then run. Lots of exercise. hehe I'll take measurements again tonight.

Being gone...

So I know I've been gone for a while. I was exhausted, and felt sick, but never got sick. So I was still running and biking - the dogs love it, right?

Well, I'm back now! I have a running partner - Molly - and we go running at 6 am every day. My new plan is to do p90x in the morning, BEFORE running, then go running with Molly. Then, at the end of the day, Eric and I will bike to see Jixie and train her - now that it's light outside for longer! :)

This will help Eric and I prepare for a duathlon!! WAHOO!

Oh and, for being a moron about all this - I'm starting p90x all over. It's not worth it to start in the middle when I stopped. How can I really say I did p90x for the whole time right? So here goes starting over. This week will be a random week - since I didn't do any today. And next monday will be the start of p90x again. Measurements and everything. So...back to day 1...I'm pathetic. But here we go! Again!

Keep me accountable guys!
