On Monday I started doing the P90x workout videos, compliments of my lovely boyfriend. Not that he told me to do them- he gave me the videos cause I asked ;) haha (don’t take it that way lol)
I started following the ‘lean’ program and have completed 3 days so far. This morning I just really wanted to sleep so I didn’t get to jump into the 4th yet. Tonight. I’ll do it tonight.
Yesterday I was talking to Brad and he was saying that I must like it since I’ve 1. Completed the videos in their entirety and 2. Completed them for 3 days now. Let’s be real for a second. In no way shape or form do I LIKE doing these videos. I actually hate them… but I need to get something going as my daily treadmill or elliptical spells don’t seem to be cutting it. And with us on the cusp of bathing suit season I need to start getting in shape… especially after wearing my suit in Africa I definitely do not feel comfortable going to the wave pool or sandcastle after that. (thankfully no one knew me on that continent haha!)
I’m not following their diet plan for a few different reasons- the main being that since I travel I can’t cook my own food and really plan out exactly what I’m going to eat. I am, however, following a restricted calorie plan where I’m eating between 1400-1500 calories a day with hopes to loose 1 pound of fat a week (while building and defining my muscles with the workout videos).
I’ll keep you up to date with my progress ;) we’ll see how it goes… The P90x workout program is 6 days a week. And being realistic that’s probably not going to happen. I’m shooting to complete 4-5 days a week. Why lie to myself? Gotta set obtainable goals.
So far I’m pretty sore haha- I sneezed yesterday and my abs hurt. That’s always a good sign! Haha This weekend I need to go and buy a band to use. Up to this point my ‘weights’ have been the 2 water bottles that the Westin provides in their rooms. Funny right? haha! Hey it works… and since I have no upper body strength whatsoever it’s a good ease into using weights. Haha (I just re-read this paragraph and realized how pathetic it sounds) Sad but true… saaaaaaaad but true.
My music pick this post is something that you can use to help you through workouts. I’ve found this podcast from the United States of Trance Movement.
It comes out every other Monday. You can listen/download through their website, but it’s also on iTunes and I use that stay updated. Check them out: USTM - they’re usually 2 hours too, which gives you max work out tunes. Love it!
Hope everybody is being holier than thou this Holy Thursday.
Peace, Love and my imaginary 6 pack.
Update: I totally did the Kenpo video tonight. yay go me. :) haha
