Day 17 - shoulders and arms, abs

I'm sad today. Molly told me yesterday that she won't be able to do p90x any more. It's only day 17...I don't think there's any way I'm gonna get to day 90 without her motivation. I don't know what to do. All I know is that all of you have to start holding me seriously accountable. I HAVE to do this in the morning. Today I didn't, and I know I'll have some time right when I get home today, but that's not okay. Always in the morning - especially now that it really is summer.

Also, today is going to just be one of those days. I woke up late, so I didn't have time to make myself breakfast. I decided to anyway, and put the eggs in a bowl to take with me. As I get to the door, I drop them all over the ground. So I had, MAYBE, a tablespoon of eggs left, and a huge mess on the floor. So I grabbed a banana so I could eat that - but they are still green - so who knows if I will even touch it. :(

On top of that, I don't want to get pregnant until we have our cars paid off. And with the way this money thing is going, we won't have them paid off when we want. So I've thought about it, and thought maybe we'll just wait until the end of the year next year - and hopefully have them paid off by then, but I'm seriously starting to doubt it all.

So all in all, today is a sad day, and I only hope it gets better.

Nutrition:

Breakfast: some eggs and a banana

Snack: protein bar

Lunch: chicken with relish and a tiny bit of mayo

Snack: ?

Dinner: ?

I'm not really hungry today... I don't even feel like a snack or dinner, but I know I need to be eating all my calories... it's just hard.

Day 16 - plyo

Got up late today - Molly was sick - did Plyo myself this morning, didn't go running.

Nutrition:

I bought up egg whites from Costco - they are actually really good. I'm surprised. 1/3 cup equals one real egg - and the serving size for p90x is 6 egg whites... 1/3 cup is a lot. I could probably eat two, but not three. I guess I'll have to work on more protein.

Breakfast: 1/3 Egg whites scrambled - 40 cals, cheese 114, salsa - 36 - 190 total

Snack: yogurt - 100 cals - either snack or dairy

Day 6- kenpo, Day 7 -rest

I have all the nutrition written down on paper - which, when I get a second, I'll put in here.

For now, I have to say... Kenpo is SOOO much better with Molly. It's the video I hate the most, but Molly makes it fun! :)

Also, I slipped up and ate some ice cream this weekend - I've decided I can't do that any more, because I gained some body fat! AHH!! I LOVE my new scale because it tells me my body fat, hydration levels, bone mass, and weight. And I can see the progress in all areas. :)

Ange and Nat - You're right about Jdawgs - it's so stinking good!!!!! lol I think it's better fresher - but still, secret sauce = deliciousness!

Rachel - I HATE most seafood. lol And I have a huge problem eating it in a landlocked state. I do like the butterfly shrimp from costco - SOMETIMES. I'll have to see how bad it is for you since it's breaded and all. And I do like tuna, so I'll have to do more of that. I'll go look for some of that other stuff too. I have the light yoplait yogurts, but will try the activa. And, I didn't look for egg whites the other day, but will definitely try that.

Kenz - I would love to do some hot yoga with you. Eric and I are going to try to come up sometime this summer - we never come up for summer, and I think it'd be fun to be back during swimming time! :) Let me know the dates in July that you're coming down here! Can't wait to see you and Jarad!

Day 5 - back and legs, abs

Today was tiring... it was a great workout, but now I'm slacking on sleep. I keep staying up late for no reason - you'd think I'd be dead tired by the end of the day. It's probably cuz I need to organize my house. lol

Breakfast: eggs with cheese and salsa, 210, 114, and salsa - 36- 360 total cals

Snack: banana - 105 cals

Lunch - Got invited to the neighbor company for a Jdawg - had my carb for the hot dog bun, and the meat was protein - but fatter protein. Need to not do this. - 188 cals for dog, 120 for hot dog roll

Snack: had a protein bar - one serving protein - 240 cals

The run was good too - was on the track and did a lot of timed runs trying to beat goal pace, and I'm way faster than I thought! WAHOO! :)

I need to buy protein powder, extra handles for weights and 2.5 weights, and see if you can buy JUST egg whites. Also, need to find out where my fiber bar lands in a category. It has a lot of fat in it so I may not be able to eat it - but I need my fiber.

Thanks Rachel and Ange!

Thanks guys for the comments - I've decided to start over. I talked to Molly this morning on our run, and she would really like to do it with me. SOOOO... monday will be day 1.

And I'm doing the whole nutrition thing this time.

AND, p90x wants you to record a video of you weighing in on the first day and the last day - so maybe I'll do that this time too.

Thanks again Rachel and Ange for being such good readers of my blog and keeping me on track! :) Love you guys!

PS this new start is going to mean a blog makeover! :)

The verdict is...

I don't know. haha

My friend who runs with me - Molly - said if I start over, she really wants to do it with me this time.

It would be cool to have someone to do it with - to make sure we are staying on track for sure. Plus, now that I know how to eat better, I may actually lose the weight I want to lose. So it's a toss up.

Since Vegas, I haven't been able to get back on schedule. :( So it's one of those - well... I could do it all over again, with the nutrition thing going for me.

I went back over the p90x books, and in there, Tony says you have to be committed - you can't be skipping workouts, and skipping nutrition... sooo...

I'll be back with a decision soon - if Molly will do it with me, I'll start over. If she's not going to be committed to it, I'll try and get back on schedule by the end of the week.

Feel free to leave me your thoughts again!

HELP! PLEASE COMMENT!

Soooo... I'm not sure who reads this blog... but if you do, I need some help.

I wasn't able to get two dvd's done yesterday. This morning, I wasn't able to do another one because running 5.5 miles took a bit longer. haha

So, give me your opinion. Should I start over the 90 days? Or should I do back and legs today, and try to do another one if I can - and just try to get back on schedule by doing two when I can - and skipping my rest day this week?

Let me know!
