So first let me give you the low down of who I am. First I am normally a couch potato. I have not exercized in such a long time it is hard to find the exact time frame. But I can say I used to try to workout. Unfortunately I would find reasons to go and then I would hit my motivation wall and find ways to quit. I first started out at a Gym here in town that was called Barbelles for women. They had a special going for $99.00 for the year. It was a deal. So I told my boyfriend who is now my husband at the time about it and he was willing to help me out. So I started going. Then towards the end of the first month or sometime after that I found an excuse to quit going. Well, I then went again due to the another good special. Well this time I tried asking friends to come along and help me be accountable. Unfortunately that was not the case. My friends quit on me and then I kept trying to go but I found myself making excuses again to quit going and eventually I did.
Sometime later I found myself wanting to loose weight again. I have moved closer to the park so I could walk there. Unfortunately I found myself making excuses again for not wanting to walk the track at the park. So I tried again to have a friend go along with me and that eventually failed. So again I quit trying to loose weight. Well now here I am at home minding my own business when a friend of mine from another state was talking about how much they liked this new workout DVD on facebook. So I had to comment. I asked them what this workout DVD was. They responded back and told me it was called P90X. So I decided to think about it for a while and then about 2 weeks later I decided to look for it on the internet. Well I found several sites. then I looked for the pros and cons and the good and bad comments about it. I found mostly good comments and mostly pros and very little cons. So I watched the infomercials and looked at the videos on youtube. Well it surely sparked a renewed interest in loosing weight again. I mean I have a lot of workout DVDs and VHS tapes. But this seemed better and more impact than any I have ever tried before. So I decided to let my husband know and let him watch the youtube videos as well. I eventually talked about it a little here and a little there. But eventually I stopped talking about it and left the subject alone. Then my husbands boss's wife heard him talking about the fact that I want to loose weight. She wanted to sell it to him and he took the deal. he bought it for me and then it was sealed. I have the DVDs from P90X. Now I am in for it.
Here was what I was at before I started all of this.
Weight: about 245 lbs. this is just an estimate since I have not weighed myself since the Drs.earlier this year. But I do now have a scale that a friend of mine gave me as a gift.
Waist: 44 in.
Hips: 51.5 in.
Chest: 45.8 in.
R. Arm: 16.5 in.
L. Arm: 17.2 in.
R. Thigh: 29.5 in.
L. Thigh: 28.5 in.
Well now here is where I am at the moment. I have been working out for 24 days now and it has been a blessing. I have had fun working out with the new DVDs. I am now in my what they call a recovery week. A week of just stretching and cardio workouts. today was Kenpo X. It was intense today. Since I have been working out for almost a month with the new workout videos I have seen a lot of change in myself. I have lost weight and I feel my clothes getting loose now. This is an exciting time for me. So here is the month of June 1, 2011 thru yesterday.
Day #1: Ok, did the P90X: Chest & Back today I did not realize that Ab Ripper was also today. Feel great. So far so good. This is only the first day though. We will find out tomorrow how I fare. Love you all and have a blessed day. Muah!!! ♥

Week 3, Day 1: Ok, today was a good day to work out. Cool weather after the storm made it all the better. But what made it difficult was the fact that my husband called during my warm up and then a friend called for directions and then my daughter wanted something to drink then the dryer beeped cause it was finished then my washer stopped cause the clothes were done washing then it was lunch time. Then I finally got back to redo warm up. Now I am finished with my work out. feel great!!! Yay!!! It felt good to know i am getting better at this P90X: Chest, Back & Ab Ripper X. Yeay!!!

Okay here it is: I guess you can call this Week 3, day 6.5: Woke up, got ready to workout with P90X: Kenpo X then realized I only had 30 min. to do it all in before waking up my sweetheart to bathe her, dress her feed her and I get stuff ready to the door in time to leave for a wedding. Did it all so far. When we do walk out and get in the car, I cannot put the seat forward cause the motor wasn't working right, then with a lot of crying to God for help to make it work again, and being frustrated at the thing it finally Moved! Thanks to God for being patient with me. Then I realized we got to the chapel 15-20 min. early. WOW!!! Do you know how grand that is to finally be early for something. It felt great! Then once the wedding was over I picked up my husband from work and went to Super Walmart and picked up some stuff then came home. Fhew...!!! What a day. But at least I still snuck in some excersize while I was at. Yay!!! What a blessed day and to make it all better my little one was wearing almost the same style of dress as the bride. Go figure since she is the flower girl. lol Have a blessed day every one. muah!!!

Week 4, Day 2: Ok, today was real hard and tough on me. I pushed through all thanks to Lorna. It was P90X: Core Synergitics. My gosh I thought Kenpo X and legs, back and Ab ripper kicked butt. But Ohhhhh Noooo! That is not the case. This one kicked my butt like never before! Ouch!
