**In a big hurry today! Off to take the girls to a homeschool Christmas party this afternoon. Glad I finally got Ab Ripper in this week! I skipped it all week! (I could tell too, OUCH!) Got a few extra calories burned by getting my heart rate up. Also, I lost just a couple ounces shy of 2 pounds this week! That's about 5 pounds since I first weighed in last Tuesday! Makes me happy!

Strength and Cardio: P90x Legs and Back
Calories Burned: 354

**I really dogged it today. I only did about 3/4 of the workout. Probably not even that. This morning I woke up sick. Didn't start feeling right until about 2:30. I wasn't going to workout at all, but... a little didn't hurt. I hate dogging this workout too, when you work hard at it, it's a killer! Oh well.

I have been doing fabulously with my eating. Tomorrow is weigh in day, and I can't wait!

Strength: P90x, Yoga X (First 50 minutes)
Calories burned: 220

**I didn't get to do the 2nd half (balance poses) earlier today. That is a bummer too, because that is my favorite part! But we did the first half. (My DH doesn't like 90 minutes, so he doesn't do the second half) Not a great calorie burn, but I did do a lot of housework today. Not that I like to count that! Tomorrow is legs and back. It seems to come back around quicker than I would like! ;)

Strength: P90X Shoulder's and Arms

*I needed to do abs today. oops. I am definitely going to do it tomorrow! This workout went really well! In fact.... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!

I curled a full set of 20 pound weights for the first time in a workout, TWICE!!!!

I think that rocks!

Cardio: P90x Plyometrics
Calories burned: 630

*This week was SO much better than last weeks workout! First of all, I stuck with it and did all the moves. I couldn't even stick with it last week. It's nice to know I'm getting my stamina back. I burned a little over a 100 more calories this week! I was working much harder!

My calories have been great for the past two days. The only day that I really didn't do that well was Saturday. It was a friends birthday and he wanted us to eat with them at Olive Garden. The worst possible place to pick!!!! Oh well, it was good and I made sure to enjoy it!

I changed my weigh in day to Friday, I just like Friday better. No chance of weekend water weight. :) I did end up loosing 3 pounds since last Tuesday though! So that makes me really happy.

Strength: Chest and Back
Calorie burn: 420

*It was nice to have a couple days break after a hard first week back in the game! Since I work out with my DH I keep my heart rate up between sets by doing jumping jacks or running in place. It really helps!

Strength and Cardio (as far as I'm concerned!): P90X Legs and Back

*This is generally the day combined with ab ripper, which would up my workout burn. But I am off on that this week. Killer workout! Glad that's over for a week!

*Today was yoga day! It's the first time we've done this video in a LONG time. And I could tell! I have lost flexibility and strength! I managed to get through the moves, barely. I look forward to improving in this workout! Also, because the workout is SO long, Jason and I never do the whole thing. I did the 2nd half (40 minute balance lunges) earlier today, and we did the 1st half (50 minutes) together this evening. It made for a very active day!

*Not a calorie burning workout! But... it was fun and we're on track! I am excited to do yoga tomorrow. It's been too long!

P90x Plyometrics (Cardio)

Calories burned: 500

*Today the DH and I did this workout for the first time in months. Yikes! It was a killer, and I was a joke! But I managed to get through it with some modified moves. This week we decided to start the program over, for real this time. I am thrilled that he is joining me in that! I learned that I can't really stay committed on my own. Also he and I talked about where we are in starting this time around, as to where we were last time. When we first started, we could barely get through a workout. It took us about 4 weeks just to be able to do the moves. THIS time, while it's tough to get back in the groove, we can still DO the moves. That is a huge improvement! We should be able to see big changes in round 2.

I also was brave enough to get on the scale this morning. I have gained almost 5 pounds. That's annoying, but... I've done worse. :) I really want to get on track with my eating NOW before Christmas. Working out on a regular basis again will help. (This is yesterdays workout, I am working out this evening with my DH!)
