Double Hard Workout in One Day

Hello to the few, but loyal.  It has been quiet a while since I have logged my food intake and my workout for the day.

Today, I awoke at 5:50 a.m. got dressed, put my contacts in and headed down to the apartment gym to workout.  I worked my Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Abs.  It was a really tough workout; especially since I haven't had to wake up early in a week and a half.  I was able to squeeze in a two hour nap today with Elle, which was very much needed.

This evening when I got home from a women's meeting, I felt the urge to go running.  So, strapped on my running shoes, leashed the pups and went out to run 3.6 miles without stopping.

Needless to say, I am exhausted and kind of starving.  Anyway, more to come later.

Thanks to those who read this, if any :).

Rest week must mean no rest in other areas

For some reason this week it has been much harder for me to break away and do some computer time.  Oh well, such is life.

This week is "rest" week.  So no weight lifting, just cardio and stretching.  I love this type of week, but I am actually really missing the weight lifting.  I cannot wait for Monday morning to roll around so I can hop out of bed at 5:50 a.m., and go pump so much needed iron.

I have been doing well on my diet, but I am scared to step on the scale and measure myself.  I think this process of toning will take a little longer then pre-baby body.  But IT WILL BE DONE!

Been a While, but I am back

Hello readers,

I had Elle all to myself last week as Sam was at drill, so blogging everyday was just not in the cards.  I began my fourth week of P90X yesterday.  This week is the recovery week where you don't weight lift, just lots of cardio and stretching.  Today is Core Synergistic - banana rolls are involved.  I would much prefer to weight lift than do banana rolls any day of the week.

Yesterday was a pretty decent day, eating wise.  More to come later.

Good day, but no workout

I can never seem to muster the time to start and complete the yoga workout.  I usually do about half the number of yoga workouts during P90X that we are suppose to.  I cannot stand that the workout is 90 minutes long...way too long for me.  Especially, when we have to hold each pose for at least 30 seconds and it is usually longer since he talks for a minute before he starts the countdown.

Anyway, I realized that I didn't have any protein for breakfast.  For some reason, when Sam is away at drill it is harder for me to cook and get motivated about food.  I should probably just switch to a liquid diet during the absent Sam days.
