As you may have noticed... I haven't written in so long I couldn't remember how to sign in at first.
Even though that is very very sad... I do have to say I haven't been doing nothing all this time. Close to it but not nothing. I started slowly working out again about a Month ago and didn't write because I didn't want to jinx myself.
But I figure I did this for a reason... shame. It was a shame to be such a bum for the last couple months and I should have been writing to get the full extent of shame out there. So I could re-motivate myself into something, anything.
Yesterday I started P90X. We aren't going to follow that meal plan that came with the program, we are just going to control portions eat right, and graise more to keep that metabolism up throughout the day. What I did learn reading through the meal plan was that protein, and egg whites are my friends. And if those before pictures weren't a wake up call I don't know what is, I had a way better self image in my head then the actual...... very embarrassing thinking that even thought I'm big I'm hot... then seeing the definite proof otherwise. Maybe If I have really really good result I'll share these bad boys... but they made me cry so don't count your chickens too hard.
Round 1, Day 1 Lean Program. Core Synergistics. My husband Josh and I are doing it together and are hoping that working together will also help with the motivation. The first day kicked our butts, we didn't think we were that unfit... Well I guess I knew but never admitted it. I felt like that hour of working was "how many ways can we do push-ups before Jess pukes" time. I didn't puke.... Josh almost did. I don't think our form was correct for even one of the darn moves, but we didn't even up and just did the best we could. I didn't stop early on the times for anything either just kept doing even if I was way behind the cues on speed. They keep saying just give all you can and don't give up, that's what I did.
After working out we cleaned up and headed out for Easter dinner at the in-laws. Instead of putting out chips and dip as munchies, Michelle only had fresh veg out so that was a major help. Dinner was a little more rough, even taking only a tiny bit of each thing is tooo much. But at least alot of it was vegetables, not all carbs. I did have some baked mac and cheese and pineapple stuffing though, I just couldn't resist. Then I passed out watching baseball. I didn't even know I was asleep until I woke up and everyone had gone outside to play wiffle ball. When we got home I felt awful for eating to much so Josh, Davie and I went for a long walk to burn at least some of those dead calories away.
This morning I am soooo sore. Not as much as I thought though, I was thinking I would be able to get out of bed but I did. But my arms and abs and back are definitely wondering what the heck is going on.
Well the energy that I have from the endorphins is definitely gonna help me get this party going, in about a week when I'm into a good routine with P90X I'm gonna add a run after each workout. I will get to my 5K goal by September. I will run in the Swedesboro Day Dragon run, even if its the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me. I can't keep making empty goals.
