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

P90X Day 81

Alright, I must confess, I chose to hang curtains and clean upstairs today instead of do my workout. Wesley went for a wonderful long nap in which I could have gotten it done but I told myself, you know I'll just do it when she's awake I'm sure she can keep herself entertained and play around me while I do it. But I didn't even try it out once she woke up. On the other hand, the curtains look great =D.

I was going to do it after she went to bed as I have taken to doing lately (and wind up in bed by around 1:30AM most nights) but I fell asleep. I'm not discouraged by it though maybe I'll just swap today with sunday and count it as my rest day, then I'll still get all my workouts in, I'll just miss stretching which is sad cause I do enjoy stretching.

In other news, my cat brought a live garter snake into my bed last night the bigest one I've seen in my life, fortunately he was standing guard over it and wouldn't let it go anywhere. That's what I get for falling asleep instead of doing my P90X.
