Stretch me out!!!

Hey guys today was XStretch with P90X and I love this workout because it really gets my body loose! It felt real weird not doing any cardio today which tells you that I have to have my cardio. You know it's like a love/hate relationship with cardio and I. Three more days and P90X will be done and I will be a grad, can't believe this shit and yes I know I keep saying it but damn, sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming!! It's going to feel so great to say that I completed P90X. This was my first round but definitely not my last round. After Supreme 90 and then maybe some Jillian Michaels, then I think I would like to do some more P90X. I also want to attempt to do Insanity but I will get to that when I get to it, not trying to give myself an heart attack! LOL. Anyway I'm not where I started and that's what I'm the most happiest about. You should think about not staying where you are, especially if you aren't happy there. You can do it!!

A workout that was light but effective!!

Yes you guys today's workout was shorter than most of my regular workouts but it was very effective. I use to hate doing Yoga, but now I love it, I didn't think that a person could get a real workout from doing Yoga but boy was I wrong. Turbo Jam is a pretty good workout but big sis came up with the idea to put on our weighted gloves and boy did it make a big difference. I mean the workout is only 20 minutes and we were looking for that extra ummph! So with the weights we found it. Four more days and then a freakin rest week, boy am I looking forward to that rest week. I will be detoxing that week with only juice so I know it's going to be interesting. Of course I will be vlogging and blogging about the experience. So guys get yours in today and make sure that you get that body moving!!

WEEK 13 HAS BEGUN....SO HAPPY!!

Hey guys, I know I've said this a thousand times but I still can't believe that week 13 is here and I am right here with it. Today was a great workout even though big sis Shay had to do it in the dark, we still got it done. This week is very important to me because becoming an P90X grad is a big accomplishment for me, it means that for the first time in a long time I completed something that I started even when it got tough, and when I wasn't feeling well and also when I was injured, now if you know my track record by now then you know that normally I would have quit and said to hell with it, but not this time. I now have a new love for fitness and nutrition and that new love is leading me in directions I never thought I would want to take.

P90X coming to an end!!

OMG!! Yes week 12 is finally over with and I still can't believe it. I won't lie there were days where I wanted to quit but the fight in me was too strong to allow self to do so. It's funny how when this all started it was by accident. Wanting to hang out with my big sis Shay for a Sunday morning workout turn into more of a life long desire to getting healthy. I never imagined that 12 weeks later I would be one week away from becoming an P90X grad!! After this we will be doing Supreme 90 and I hear that it is very intense but hell it will be worth it cause I'm feeling good and to be honest I'm looking pretty damn good too. LOL!! Anyway, this has been a lesson I never thought I would pass and learn from. If you are sitting there wanting to be healthy or fitter, leaner than trust me do it, you will be so much happier when you do. Sitting there making excuses damn sure won't get it done, trust me I know. I sat for years making every excuse that I could because I was in denial, and now I only want to push harder because I know that there is so much more that I want to do and can do within myself and with others.

Damn its been a while....

So what's up. It is week 11 for Shay and I with P90X and I'm so glad. Two more weeks and I will be a P90X Grad!! Yaay. I never thought that I would make it this far! After we finish with P90X I am going to take a little time off and then we are going to do Supreme 90 which I hear is very intense. By the time we finish that my body should be in the best shape that it has ever been in since High School. And that's a long damn time. I'm so looking forward to shopping for new clothes and just embracing the new look, hell I might even get my sexy back, I lost that shit somewhere and I haven't found it yet. Actually I call it my MoJo!! I want it back, it was so much more than you could possibly think it is. It was my laughter my walk, my talk, my whole attitude in one. I felt alive and not shy or restrained. I was free and anyone around me was affected by it and drawn into it. But when I started looking at this damn gut of mine and I stopped dressing up or wearing makeup or even doing my damn hair, my MoJo took a run for the damn hills and refuses to come back til I get my shit together! So that's what I'm working on....a new and improved upgraded ME!! LOL. Hope you are still getting in your exercise and making healthy choices. You have to get that in, everyday!!

I freaking did it!!!

Well yesterday was my doctors appointment and I was so shocked at my results. I have been battling with my cholesterol since 2005 and finally I have it under control. My levels went from 336 to 174, I was in amazement!! All the hard work of getting up at 3:30 in the morning, all the watching what I put in my body, and also being consistent with taking my meds has paid off. Before I made excuses of why I didn't want to work out or couldn't work but now I realize even more that it is very important that not only should I be mindful of what I'm eating but very mindful of what I'm doing with this body of mine. I mean hell it is my body and I only get one, so I guess I better respect that and appreciate it. To hell with all the excuses of why I can't. To anyone out there that thought for one minute that it is bullshit and that diet and exercise doesn't play a part in whether you are healthy or not, well I beg to differ!! Just remember it takes work, may not be easy but anything worth having usually isn't! Can't Stop Won't Stop......

Look where I am now...

Wow it's week 7 of Phase 2 with P90X and to be honest I never thought that I would make it here. I keep saying damn girl if you had just kept going the first time around you would have been so far now, but its okay because at least I'm doing something now. Everytime I look at myself now, it amazes me how much I've already changed. I'm so looking forward to my 41st birthday and seeing how I look and feel, being able to do things that I couldn't do before, like running, running upstairs, playing with my son without feeling like I'm going to pass out. Lowering my cholesterol, which I'm hoping is lower , but I will find that out on Thursday. Gotta keep pushing and pushing and pushing, even when I don't want to get my ass out of bed or want to drink another drop of water. Looking at where I am now only makes me more excited about where I will be in the future.
