Sorry to everyone that I've been gone so long! We moved to Utah and I didn't have regular access to the internet. Plus I totally lost my resolve to lose weight. However, I have 2 weddings coming up in a couple months and I have renewed my resolve to myself. Mostly for my own benefit, but also looking good for the weddings will be fun too.
So, I have started P90X. If you surf channels late at night, you might have seen the ads for this. It is INTENSE!!! It is all about intense workouts and tailored meal plans to your size. I am 4 days into it and already can see how it is different. It works off the idea of "muscle confusion" so that you never plateau. Feel free to look it up - I found it way cheap on Amazon, but it is offered through Beachbody.com.
Monday I did Back and Chest. It is ALL pull-ups and push-ups! WOW! Tough stuff! I did the full hour, modified a little bit.
Tuesday I did Plyometrics - an intense cardio workout where you spend most of the time jumping up and down - stuff like jumping squats. Way hard!
Wednesday was Arms and Shoulder. This is all curls and weight lifting.
Thursday (today) was Yoga. I learned today that I am NOT flexible! I had to stop 30 minutes into this 1 1/2 hour routine! I will do the rest later but I could not do it any more!
As far as eating, I have been pretty good. I have eliminated caffeinated, carbonated drinks, and have slowed down the sweets a TON! Anyways, I can't wait for the 90 days to be up so I can see my final results! In the meantime, we just keep plugging away!

Good for you Lisa! I think Hannah was doing that same thing. I heard it's pretty intense. Good luck with it. I hope it works out well for you. I'm sure it's all about being disciplined, and sometimes that's the hardest part. Keep us posted on how it goes!
Yes, we tried it until we 1--went on vacation, and then 2--my husband cut his finger (got stitches) and couldn't lift the weights or do push-ups anymore, so I lost motivation to do it by myself. But I did lose weight and have never felt so healthy in my life! Good luck!
I bought the P90X a few months ago but have been afraid to try it. But you have given me new resolve to pull it out tonight when I get the kids to bed and give it a try.
