I lost 3.8 of the 4.6 pounds I gained two weeks ago. Yay! Once you do what you need to do, your body responds.
P90X came in! I'm so ready to start. The only thing is that it comes with a nutrition guide that would have me eating a lot more than I'm used to. The idea is to give fuel for your body so that you can make it through the workouts well. I really want to get the most out of this program, so I may try their nutrition and see how it works out.

Bad week...
Today was my weigh in day...I gained 4.6 pounds. That is INSANE!! I took a break this weekend and fudged a little this week. But I had no idea it was four pounds worth!
It makes me wonder how committed I actually am. This week was hard, really hard. I had temptation staring me down everywhere. And because I'm not very overweight, I figure hey, I can relax a little. Nope! I can't, and this proves it. What's worse, I can't work out for a long time because I have a joint problem in my low back, and until it heals I can't do anything strenuous.
This is an opportunity for me to recommit. Now I know what happens when you relax-you gain the weight back. So now it's points values only. I need to track all that I eat-no more fudging. Hopefully next week will be good news at the scale.

Cheating
I didn't track my food Friday night or all day Saturday. I was on a mini vacation with my husband and I decided to take a break. Bad idea. I didn't eat anything outrageous, but it made it hard to get back on the wagon on Sunday. I think that if I'm seriously going to do this, I need to do it ALL the time. It messed with my mind, eating whatever I wanted for only two days. But I'm back on track now. Live and learn!

He's Proud
Last night, my husband told me that he was proud of me! He said that my resolve in this weight loss journey has been great and that it makes him proud of me. That meant so much to me, and it makes me only want to keep going. No matter how hard it gets, comments like that make it beyond worth it.
We're supposed to be getting p90x in the mail today-that's my next challenge. I really want to do all ninety days, yet I'm so nervous! I don't think that I can do it. But realistically I can. I've just never even tried anything like this before. I'll take it one day at a time.

Little bit of loss
I lost another pound this week. It's not much, but I'm happy that it's going in the right direction.

Exercise
I've been exercising for the past two days. I did the weight room, elliptical for ten minutes, and then treadmill for ten minutes yesterday. Then I jogged for twelve minutes and walked for eight today. It's not a whole heck of a lot, but I just want to start moving before we get p90x next week. I'm ready. I realize that I can't lose this weight by diet alone and I'm ready to get myself in gear. I want something intense and diverse, something that will give me results. I've always said that my goal is to do all 90 days, and it still is.

Fitness Flop
Ok, so the scale was .6 higher than I thought, not a big deal. I still lost 1.4 pounds. I also didn't weigh in during the early morning which is when I'm at my lightest.
So...I haven't walked in about a week. I got bored with it. I feel kind of guilty that I'm not exercising, but not too much because I have a plan. My husband and I are going to order P90X in the next week or so-we've been planning to for months. I'm totally ready to commit to whatever I can do of it. If I can legitimately only do 5 pushups, I will do them well. I don't want to psych myself up too much because then I think I'd be less likely to succeed. My goal is to do all 90 days well, so I have to realize I'm going to be starting out slow. It's like when I was jogging-I was running a 5k within 3 weeks to a month! But then I quit so easy because it was too much too soon. It also wasn't a set part of my schedule, which I plan on doing for P90X. My plan is to wake up around 7 or 7:30 am everyday, eat breakfast and then do my workout a half hour later at 8 am. The only problem I forsee is that my son might wake up during that time and then what? We'll have to see how it works out, I may have to change the time to after lunch when he takes his nap. I'm just a morning person, though.
Okay, anyway, my goal is to make fitness a part of my everyday life. It's a challenge!
