Day 42 - pictures

So I took Day 42 pics today - yes, there is a difference - but is there enough of a difference that I'm happy? No... there isn't.

It's time to change something... I don't know if it's more of a diet restriction, or more exercise or what. Or maybe I need to take the time to realize that hey, I am not quite half way yet. Who knows.

Day 39 - yoga, Day 40 - legs and back, abs, Day 41 - kenpo, Day 42 - rest

LOVE yoga, LOVE legs and back - its the one thing I have to work on the most, so I work really hard for that one.

Legs and Back:

Reverse grip chin ups: 3 by myself!!! holla!!! 4 with chair/2.5 by myself, 3 with chair

Wide front pull ups: 3/4 by myself! almost one... hehe 7 with chair/1/2 by myself, 3 with chair

Close grip overhand pull ups: 1 by myself!!! 6 with one foot on chair - wouldn't it be amazing, if i could do one of each all in a row?! hehe/1 by myself again! and 3 with chair

switch grip pull ups: 3

I'm thinking I'm gonna do p90 again after the first 90 days.. maybe... I know I'm fitter now. Eric notices every day. My driver - who picks up my shipments from work - hasn't seen me since January and saw me Friday and said... wow Jackie, I mean wow. You are so thin. And I was so happy! It's the best compliment in the world when you're trying to be better. Eric says I won't need to do it again - he says I'm not even half way through and I'm looking a TON better. SO I guess we'll see what happens at day 90. Right?

I don't really love kenpo. It's okay, but I don't feel like it's that great of a work out. lol I'd rather run or bike.

Day 41! Rest day... it's crazy.... I'm almost half way through.

Day 36 - nutrition

I'm using fitday.com to actually list my calories and stuff - so I'll try and list it here too.

Fitday says that I need to restrict my caloric intake by 900 calories to reach 108 pounds by July 28th. Random day - just randomly picked it as a goal. It says I should be able to eat 1690 calories a day - but not sure how it really decides that. If that's true, then I should keep a goal of staying under that. When I did my food diary for my doctor - I ate on average 700 calories a day - so either something is wrong with me in terms of not being able to lose anything, or I fluctuate big time. We will see.

8:30 am - Minute Maid Energy Drink - 120 calories

5:00 pm - had a baked potato with cheese, sour cream, and butter

9:00 pm - 2 slices of french bread with butter

Day 36 - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

So back to p90x in the morning - I've been doing it at night, and sometimes it just kicks my butt after a long day. So today, Molly and I went running and now I'm doing this. I won't have time for the ab ripper - so I'll do the 15 minute video after Eric and I bike to see Jixie today.

Also, I'm making a new goal each week - this week is to get rid of the bottom belly fat I have - which won't completely go away, but at least try harder - SOOOO a personal trainer once told me you can't do that unless you give up all sugar - so no sugar this week. Also, I'm going to be very diligent about writing down the cals of what I eat, and at what time. (My doctor needs this. lol)
