Strength: P90X, Ab Ripper
Cardio: 10 minute treadmill jog
Calories burned: 210

**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!

2010-12-16T19:49:00.002-05:00

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!

2010-12-15T20:00:00.002-05:00

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! ;)

12/14/10

2010-12-14T20:56:00.002-05:00

Strength: P90X Shoulder's and Arms
Calories Burned: 330

*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!

12/13/10

2010-12-13T21:19:00.002-05:00

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.

12/12/10

2010-12-12T17:44:00.002-05:00

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!

12/10/10

2010-12-09T21:05:00.002-05:00

Strength and Cardio (as far as I'm concerned!): P90X Legs and Back
Calories burned: 566

*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!

Strength: P90x, Yoga X

Ab Ripper x
Calories Burned: 117

Total Burn: 438

*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!

12/7/10

2010-12-07T21:14:00.002-05:00

Strength: P90x Shoulders and Arms

Calories Burned: 355

12/6/10

2010-12-07T15:55:00.002-05:00

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!)

Calories Burned: 100

*Whew! Tough workouts! But great! My favorite workouts are the arms!!! So today it was all worth it. :) Tomorrow is legs and back. In case you haven't heard me say it before, I hate... HATE the leg workout. It is a killer. But I do burn over 600 calories, so BRING IT!!! ;)

11/17/2010

2010-11-17T19:04:00.002-05:00

Cardio: Treadmill Intervals and extra walking, 55 minutes

Calories Burned: 519

*Today would have been a great day, but I gave in to a couple handfuls of greasy popcorn at the movies. I made up for it though with a chicken salad for dinner, so my calories are right on target for the day. I was on the treadmill this evening, and after spending my 35 minutes running intervals I decided to keep walking while a show I was watching was on. (a very fast paced walk!) So that helped balance out that naughty popcorn. :)

11/16/2010

2010-11-16T15:01:00.002-05:00

Strength: P90x Chest and Back

Calories Burned: 322

*I was going to hop on the treadmill and hope to burn a few extra calories, while I was in the mood. BUT while I was doing my workout, my sugar crashed. I managed to finish my workout, but it was kind of a dumb thing to do! I started counting calories again today, and failed to have any sugar all day, whatsoever. I didn't think about that prior to working out! I hate it when I do that! Strength training requires a little reserve to burn through! Ugh... Afterward I drank a muscle recovery drink, so that will get some sugar pumping through my veins. Note to self... prep your body to maximize your results!

2010-11-15T19:33:00.002-05:00

I've really sucked at keeping this journal. It doesn't mean I don't work out, just that I am the worst blogger! :) But I'm giving it a go... once again. I am rearranging my day to fit my workouts in before our classes start in the morning. I am hoping it helps me quit being inconsistent!

Cardio: Treadmill

*I just did an easy jog today for about 25 minutes total. Trying to get the week off on the right foot, when I am really having a hard time getting motivated.

Strength: P90x Ab Ripper

Calorie burn: 423

My eating has been terrible. I am insisting that I get myself under control immediately. The Holidays will absolutely destroy me if I don't. Tomorrow is a new day!

10/13/10

2010-10-13T20:19:00.004-04:00

Wednesday: P90x Chest and back, 35 minutes
(I did the workout without the video this time. I was able to move through the moves quicker and keep my heart rate up that way!)
P90x Ab Ripper, 10 minutes

Calories Burned: 415

I am thrilled with today. I wasn't supposed to do abs again until tomorrow, but since we are leaving for Chicago in the morning (a one night stay) and couldn't do them then, I tacked it on to the end of my workout. It was hard! I was feeling it. There's a reason why you don't work out the same muscle two days in a row! ;)

I also spent the entire day on my feet. Cleaning, and cooking (making a bunch of meat so that this weekend I can make freezer meals. I am excited about that!)

So I know that I roasted some serious calories today. I also did well with my food and didn't eat over my limit. Good thing because I haven't been doing well in that area! :s

10/12/2010

2010-10-12T15:37:00.003-04:00

Monday - Off day (I spent the day getting errands ran)

Tuesday - P90x Legs and Back, 1 hour
P90x Ab Ripper, 15 minutes

Calories burned: 670

Note: Not quite as high as last week, but I was writing a list of the leg workouts this time so I can do them in the future without the video. I HATE this workout SOOOO much. I really want to be able to do it to my own music. Also, I hate hearing that Tony loves the side lunge, I HATE it!!! No offense Tony, but I've been hearing that since May! ;)

It was a good workout day. I'm glad this workout is over for the week!

Notes: I was able to keep my heart rate up by moving through the workouts a little quicker than the video allows. Love it!

I curled 17 pounds today! That is a new goal for me! Can't wait to tell the DH. ;)

10/8/10 - Catch up

2010-10-08T10:51:00.002-04:00

Like I said in my blog post this morning, I have decided to use this journal again to track my daily successes, since time is limited for blogging nowadays. I feel better putting my "stuff" out there, I feel like I'm participating that way! :)

Notes: I'm very bummed that I had to start over (again) on my running intervals. And the thing that gets me most is I KNOW how frusterating that first week can be! It can be so tough just to run 2 stinking minutes! I tried to think about other things. Look around at peoples flowers, enjoy the beautiful day! I really (really) want this time around to be THE time.

2009-05-15T16:59:00.004-04:00

Well, my very first post in my journal! Yay!
