P90X Day 76

I'm on day 76 and I feel like giving up, I've got such good results and it's really worked, but this week has just been very discouraging because I'm not making any more progress as I haven't been eating right or getting my workout done. I don't know why all of a sudden I can't seem to eat right or get my workout in anymore I've run out of steam. Maybe it's because Wesleys been fussier than usual and caring for her has been more strenuous.

Looking over everything I've eaten today and have concluded this is my third bad day in these 76 days, and I gotta say, I feel terrible. I'm sure it's partly the heat because it's really warm in here, but I just don't feel very healthy today I've been eating way to much bad food. It's been a bad week. I hope I can do better next week. Tomorrow I'm going to do the same thing I did last monday and see if I can do a whole day of proper eating also, I'm going to call about ordering the meal shake I've been looking into getting.

I'm just discouraged about the healthy eating, I do fine in the morning it seems, but in the evenings I just eat whatevers near by which is ok when I'm in my house where there isn't really anything bad I can snack on. My mentality about food has to change, I need to be saying no more.

Today I went out to the country and spent most of the day doing things with lissy. We went for a bike ride, then swimming, and finally tanning.

I am determined not to give up. I will do better tomorrow, no excuses. I didn't come this far to give up now. I think I can get away with bad food choices, somehow I trick myself into thinking that. I can do this, and I will do it. Tomorrow will be a good day. My last week of working out and I am going to Bring It! whoo!

P90X Day 75

So far in 75 days I've had two really bad eating days, and this was one of them. At least this day was better than my other one in which I ate unhealthy every meal of the day except lunch, today I had an unhelpful evening. My poor eating choices made getting motivated to do my workout difficult, "I ate so bad today what's the point" but I told myself what's going to help, doing it or not doing it. I chose the helpful option and did it, enthusiastically too.

I'm feeling pumped for the upcoming week. Tomorrow is sunday so that's stretching and then I've got my last week of lifting and then on to the recovery week and I'm done my 90 days. I'm going to see just what all this work has amounted to in the next week, my goal is to be able to do 1 pull up without using the chair by the end of all this.

P90X Day 74

It was Canada day today I'm not sure what it is that took my entire day away, but I didn't do my workout today. At the beginning my workout was first priority over any kind of house work. I think I've started to count on myself doing it in the evening to much and not trying to just fit it in wherever it will fit.

I used to nap in the morning with Wesley, then do weights during her second nap and abs at night when she fell asleep, except for yoga which I only did after she fell asleep so I wouldn't be interupted because it's the longest one and it sort of builds on itself as you become warmed up, and only if I missed doing it during her nap I would do it at night. Lately I've been counting on my nights get it all done, and my evenings have been especially busy, considering that it's summer.

After the fireworks we went to Tims and visited with Trevor, Travis, and Keirsten Then went back to countess where people where having cake and ice cream, it wasn't hard to resist those treats just after what I had at Tims.

P90X Day 73

Today I felt a little discouraged to do my yoga, I've missed more in the last two weeks than I have in the entire two months I've been going now. Missing another day isn't going to fix that so I have to do it. As I held the different possitions I started thinking about the church, the way it was described it as a "body" in that each member has a different roll to play and we depend on each other, this mentality actually helped me with the balance postures because I decided to trust each part of my body to do it's best and insead of trying to concentrate more on what I was doing I concentrated less and let the feet, legs, and arms do what they know how to do. I'm good at balance and what I've come to learn is both a mental and physical excercise if you doupt, you'll fall, you have to go for it and trust that your foot is capable of caring for it's job.
I paused at one point to go check on Wesley and procrastinated a little coming back, but I did come back.

P90X Day 72

So I did indeed feel great in the morning today as hoped =D I love when I get to the point in my fitness where I can actually feel the sluggish effects of bad foods, because that feeling is so undesirable it gives me motivation to stay away from them. I can eat a cookie or two and not feel it, but I remember 72 days ago I could have eaten five donuts and not notice anything, now I might be able to eat one.

During pregnancy I was reading the book, "what to expect when your expecting" and took the nutrtion section very seriously. The next stage is post natal healthy eating and excercise... after a number of failed attempts and much discouragment getting some sort of workout and nutrition program going I finally committed to P90X and am currently seeing great results!
pre P90X I was 22lbs over my prepregnancy weight and still looked like I did at 20 weeks pregnant, I've finally found a way to deal with it.

P90X Day 71

Wow I'm so happy with the results I've seen so far, I challenged myself today to see if I could eat properly all day, and I'm proud to say I did. No bad food and good foods at the right times, so yay me. I really wanted to see how good I would feel in the morning if I didn't eat anything bad today however pushing play was really tough for some reason. I procrastinated on it after Wesley went to sleep for the night but finaly just did it and felt great about doing it.
I'm really seeing a lot of progress in my lifting, I feel much stronger am doing more push ups and lifting more weight.
