Day 81 ugh...

Thats right folks I still didn't workout last night. I'm so tired. Even going to bed at my normal bed time again I'm so sleepy when I get up.

Seriously though, tonight I WILL workout.

Day 80 Oopsie

I'm not gonna lie, last night I ate chips and salsa for dinner and did not workout. Oopsie. I was busy last night ordering my bridesmaid dress, trying to finish all our laundry, and attempt to pick up the mess that is my house right now. I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. Kathy and James are coming to stay with us Monday so at least I have a timeline as to when the house needs to be spotless. Maybe I'll finally workout tonight.

Day 79 Back in the swing of things

Vacation is over and I am back at work-boo :( But man on man am I glad to be back around my own food, and in control! Granted the first few days weren't bad because we stayed with Katie and Dan and we were walking or hiking and eating healtier. But after we headed out for Savannah it was all over from there. Then we were dependent on eating on 3 meals a day, how quickly that can make you feel like crap!

Sunday night we ate outstanding Mexican food and had some ritas, but I went on a long walk that night with Katie around her crazy hilly neighborhood. My butt was thanking me. Monday we went and hiked up Stone Mountain in the morning. Again, my butt was feeling it. That was quite a hike! Then that afternoon we went wine tasting. We earned it. Tuesday we went to the World of Coca Cola and Peidmont Park. Wednesday we headed out to Savannah where we took in Chick Fil-a, pizza, more wine tasting and Paula Deen's all in one day. Oh and some amazing prailines at the candy store. Thats enough to make anyones stomach ache, but have you met my stomach? We don't get along ever. (Well, thats not true. These past few months as I have been eating less carbs my stomach and I have been getting along. I really think its the less carbs means less gluten aspect.) Anywho, Paula Deen's is overrated. Its good but its not amazing and they have people line the streets and come out and ring a dinner bell. I felt like a cow that was being herded to the trough. Needless to say, when insted of dinner rolls a restaurant brings out pancakes and biscuits, you know you arent going to be eating salad! Yeah so...like I said, when you have to eat out 3 meals a day, you def don't want to put on the swim suit and go out in public. Also, people in Hilton Head don't believe in cover ups. Seriously everyone big and small just walked around in their swim suit. One woman even went to the bar at night wearing her swim suit and thats it. Interesting. Its like they are uber confident people.

So today its back on the regular eating schedule and if I can wade through the waves of laundry in my house, maybe even a workout tonight. Sigh.

Day 69

Well last night I had so much to do but still made time to "Get Chisld". I know its bad that I don't do the assigned yoga in P90X. As my friend Meghann puts it, these workouts are building from one another and you aren't following the plan if you make ammendments like that. I know I know. But, I like yoga sometimes, but sometimes I feel that I need more of a workout and want to sweat. So I switch to something else on those days. Sigh. Can't win em all. Again, B is mesmorized by Rebekah Sturkie the instructor. Her body is sick. She must've gotten in crazy shape for that dvd cause even in the others she's in she doesnt look this good. Must be nice. "I'm gonna do a workout dvd soon, I'm gonna drop 10 lbs..." Geez.

Day 68

Whoo! Good news friends- I am now up to 6.6 lbs lost!!! Yaaaayyyy!!! I hope this keeps up. And I even ate Doritos last night, bad. Last night was Back and Biceps, I had never done this one before. I loved it. I like the word "sculpt" and thats pretty much all you do in this workout. Its all about sculpting the "glamour" muscles. Except there is this really annoying girl with a high voice and stupid laugh in this one. She was like making noises and struggling with sets of 15 on 5 lb weights and I'm like bitch I'm using 8 or 12 lb weights doing sets of 18-20 shut your mouth! Tony says if you want big muscles use more weight and aim for 8-10 reps but if you want lean muscle go smaller and shoot for 12-16 reps and make sure you struggle on the last 3,otherwise you need to up your weight.

Day 67

Well when I stepped on the scale this morning I realized I am now .4 lbs away from my goal last week :( Oh well, still .4 lbs lost right? While talking to my mother in law this weekend (who btw has lost 56 lbs)I told her I had lost about 5 lbs and she said "thats good! thats a lot for someone as small as you!" That got me thinking. Do people see me as small? I mean I know I'm short but most around me are not too much taller than me so I definately don't see myself as being small. Not that I understand eating disorders but I do kind of understand how people get body dysmorphia (sp?) I mean you look in the mirror and totally don't see what others see about yourself you know? I see the 17 lbs (now 12 lbs) I've gained since I got married almost 2 years ago. I see it on my arms, my legs, boobs, and most of all my stomach. Sigh. But maybe to other people it only looks like a few pounds.

Last night was Plyo and boy did I have to work to get through that one. Since last week was a "rest" week and didnt require a lot of high impact workouts and then taking a few days off at the lake, I felt a little out of shape. I pushed through it though, sweat and all.

Day 66

Well, evidently this weekend was a success. I was busy during the day so ended up skipping lunch. I thought I would really see some damage since dinner one night consisted of Taco Bell, the next night brisket and carbs, the next night hamburgers and chips, etc. I will say though I get fuller faster these days. I ordered a taco and burrito at Taco Bell Fri night and after the taco I was stuffed. I still ate 1/3 of the burrito but then gave it to B to finish. When I stepped on the scale this morning I was only up a pound. Whew!

I started week 5 of P90X last night and the workout was triceps, shoulders and chest. I HATE this workout. Its boring and your arms are jello mid way through. Blah. I wish I could do the other arm workout instead of this one, but I know its a progression thing.
