A Healthy Postpartum

To begin the journey to greater health the first thing you need is imagination. You need to see beyond today to perceive that you can indeed say no to seconds, cheesecake and overcome other struggles. Right now all your clothes fit you, your comfortable. Buy a pair of jeans a size or two to small. I knew I could make it back from 180lbs to 155 because I had been 155 only a year earlier and had an entire wardrobe I wanted to fit again.

Since last January I've become considerably healthier, tracked by weight and messurment, I've lost 35lbs and a total of 12 inches which can be seen in greater d-tail in the messurments tab above. I love feeling healthy and every time I'm excercising I get to thinking, how can I help other people break ground in their own health transformation. The best way I could think of was sharing the day by day process that brought me to where I am now.

I hope you are inpired by my fitness story. As I record my P90X round 1 journey and other health endevours I have attempted, both the successes and the failures. I stared a round of insanity assylum, but realized in the first week it was above my current abilities. I'm going to be taking the P90X challenge for another spin.

as a note, I'm still updating my 2011 P90X round 1 story, I did record most days in the journey, it's just a matter of typing them out and posting them

Insanity the Asylum Day 3

Just a heads up, this is a really intense program if you couldn't tell by the name. I find it harder on the body than P90X was, today my knee and wrist hurt but not in the good sort of way that feels like impending progress a bad sort of caution sign way. Wrists and knees are pretty inportant body parts so I'm going to be extra gentle with them.

As for eating, hmm once again feeling comfortable gets in the way of progress. I liked how I felt today I like fitting into my clothes again so I figured I'd eat a plate of derserts at lunch... and an ice cap in the afternoon... and a blizzard a little later. Wait a minute, aren't I suposed to be cleaning up my eating habits for the next two weeks.
