************************************

I did the Yoga X today and that was hard. I'm trying really hard not to stress about food but I feel like I'm eating too much even though I know that I'm not.

This weekend is going to be the real challenge to see if we can make it through without drinking any beer.

Day 4 of P90X

So, I'm onto Day 4 of P90X and still haven't taken my before pictures. I must do that tonight!!

So far, Jeff and I are actually having an easy time with this. The only complaint is the amount of protein we have to eat and we're just not used to eating that much.

Day 1 - chest and back - this was a tough one but we managed to make it through

Day 2 - plyometrics - WOW! Extremely hard and I'm still sore 2 days later.

Day 3 - shoulders and arms - again, it was tough but doable. I think I'm going to need to adjust my weights some here.

Today is going to be Yoga and this should be interesting. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it the entire way through without laughing my ass off at Jeff.

I know I didn't track my points very well today but I don't feel like overate either. I do need to up my water intake, though, but for some reason water has been making me feel pukey lately.

Time to get serious again

So, I didn't even weigh myself this morning but I know, from my jeans, that it's wouldn't have been pretty. I have decided that I have to get serious again. I've gained back 20 of the 40lbs that I lost and even though I am still healthy and running, I need to lose some of the fat that I'm starting to accumulate again.

I am fitting into my size 6's right now but I would really love to be back down to my size 4's as I have a ton of clothes in that size. I know that I can do this if I would just back off the beer and recommit to counting my points. I should also add pictures just so I can look back and torture myself. I really think seeing all of my stages will inspire me to stick with the plan until I can get these pesky 20lbs off. Once I'm back down again, I should be ok with maintaining.

So, this is back to it. I'm giving up beer Monday-Thursdays and will only allow myself to drink on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.

Getting back in the saddle again!

I made the mistake of getting on the scale when I got home from work...160lbs. OMG, YUCK! I also started my period today so I'm pretty sure that's part of the problem as well, but, this is seriously out of control. :-(
