Day 23

This is me today! This morning I thought I was on a temp illness but after trying to work in the studio I soon came home to put on my pjs and veg on the computer editing. I've actually got a lot done for not feeling well: one wedding edited and two boudoir sessions! However, no workout. I'll make up for it tomorrow. My stomach has been feeling terrible all day

Day 20: Kenpo

I feel incredible, have a ton of energy and love the way my body is feeling/changing. My stomach feels tighter so I sometimes catch myself running my hands over it, hahaha! I know -- CRAZY!

I had two drinks this week: One tonight and one earlier this week. Oh so I went out tonight and an ex boyfriend told me it looks like I've been working out. I love that!

My eating habits today were not the greatest but I got a lot of protein in still, followed by chocolate milk, and Iced Cap, and some chips. I kind of feel like making some eggs right now but it's a bit late. I had some fruit.

So today makes it the last day of the workout before my first day to the recovery phase! I'm so excited to start phase two in another week!

I'm still making my ninja sound affects with kenpo -- fun!

Tomorrow is my day of rest but I have a 10hr day. I'll be packing a lunch for the day :)

I better get to bed....

Day 19: Legs and Back

Day 18: Yoga X

My body is in a bit of pain today from yesterdays workout. Going down into chaturanga was killer! For breakfast I had a very yummy protein shake :) ...and took it on the road with me as I was off to work earlier than what I like ;)

When I got home from work I feel asleep on the couch for a bit, my son came to wake me, I cooked him pizza. He didn't eat it all thank goodness but when he took it out of the oven he put the whole thing on his plate! He's big into pizza right now. At least he had a healthy lunch. While he at his dinner, I did my yoga then was off to get us a movie and my dinner: salmon, red pepper, broccoli

I'm loving the results in my back so far and can't wait to see the difference at 30 days :)

Day 16: Plyo Day 17: Arms & Shoulders

Last year I really disliked plyo. Today I looked forward to doing it and kicking some ply butt!

There was a time where I couldn't do one 'jump knee tuck' and now I can keep up with the DVD until the go double time...but I'll get there, right?! It was the same for the 'rock star hops' I can keep up till double time now. I'm still measuring myself, ugh! Hopefully by the time I publish this post I'll have given the measuring tape to my sister.

Here is my lunch between workouts and work. I did have to photograph a session today and one this evening

ok, no onto shoulders...I didn't up any weights but I did up some reps :) The workout flew by today and I wasn't watching the clock for when it would be over. I think I'm starting to have fun with this workout!

I made a protein shake and then my sister came over to take my measuring tape. I gave her some shake to try and here is a pic of the hand off. Good-by measuring tape!

I'm having tuna now while waiting for my next session to arrive at the studio.

Yes, this post took me all day to write! lol

Day 15: Chest and back

Whoooo! Week 3!

In week 1 I was doing 12 pull ups at a time.

In week three I was doing 15 pull ups at a time.

Now, in week three I can rock out 20!!!

I went through two bottles of water in todays work out and I feel great...and hungry!

Day 14: Day of rest

..and another 8hr wedding to photograph!

Day 12 & 13

I did these two workouts together. Legs & Back + Kenpo. Work is busy and I've been spending to much time at the beach! I do love it though but it's easy to get distracted. Anyway, both workouts are done! If I miss a workout I'll always try to make it up but I'm sure it will happen again :/

Day 11: Yoga

This I can do:

This I currently struggle with!

My son did yoga with me tonight and complained through the whole thing. So, he is not a fan of yoga. I wasn't when I started but now I really like it and feel like it does make me stronger and helps me in the rest of P90x with increasing weight and reps.

However, I'm not sure if I'll ever get to crane!

Day 10: Shoulders & Arms

I'm a little sore still. I can feel my abs but I like the feeling of BRINGING IT! My weight has stayed the same from this week to last but I was able to go up in reps. I'm doing well with the protein shakes and eating.

Day 9: Plyometrics

The first round of P90x last year I wasn't a fan of plyo. I'm learning to like it this year. I've never been able to do the jumps where you bring both knees up to your hands but I did it today! I go through two bottles of water and put my recovery powder in the second bottle. I love the swing kicks and I'm getting better at the rock star moves. I like watching this guy do plyo ;)

Day 8: chest and back

I've gone up well in reps! Yay! Last wek I was doing 12 reps and now I'm up to 15reps. I can't wait to see if I can move up next week. I like this workout. I do most of it with my eyes closed, lol. I guess it helps through the pain!

No Iced Cap today!

Day 7: day of rest

Day of rest?!! Not for me -- I'm off to photograph a 8hr wedding! But back at P90x tomorrow!

Day 6: Kenpo

Kenpo today! I love Kenpo because the workout goes by pretty quick -- that and I like throwing punches to a make believe body, lol

No Iced Cap today!

Day 5

Dear P90x,

Please give me this body!

I'm up a bit it reps but not much. I do love the legs and back work out though :)

Day 4

I was pretty sore in the arms this morning. I couldn't fully extend either one of them. I can now extend the left but not the right but in yoga tonight I could extend both fine.

I ate a lot today:

Breakfast - egg sandwich and grapefruit juice

snack - snow pees

lunch - egg salad sandwich & a cup of fruit

snack - protein bar & OJ

dinner - green salad

snack - squash

When I look at it it doesn't look like that much. I'm just not use to be hungry all the time.

I'm on Day 2 without an Iced Cap

and here is a random photo of me dancing in an elevator today, hahaha.

Day 3

I'm a little sore today but loving it. I did my work out this morning and then headed to hang out with a friend for the rest of the day. I picked up some protein bars and some hemp seed which is a great source of Omega fats so I'll try them on salads and anything else I can think of.

This was my lunch on the way to visit my friend. I eat a lot in the car.

...and then I made some naughty daiquiris -- bad I know

I still can't believe I have 38 hips!!!

Day 2

PLYO!

This round I will not complain about how much I dislike plyo, lol. I went to my moms for the workout as she has beautiful A/C. I just got my own installed this evening so I can get back to working out here again for tomorrows workout which I plan to do in the morning. I think I'll start scheduling workouts like I do studio sessions

My protein shake today was:

1 banana

5 strawberries

2 cups of protein powder

1 cup of milk

1 hand full of ice

It was delicious

...and I always feel awesome after plyo :)

Day 1 Round 2

So, I flopped the last time because I became a bit obsessed with my measurements and was really unhappy with the last photos on week 6 so this time around I'll just take the photos at the end of each phase which is every 30 days....and not date guys that complain about the little things about my appearance -- hated that with last years boyfriend :P He would complain about even the socks I wore, lol

So this is me now:

Ugh, I have a big butt!

I really wanted to suck it in here, lol

I'd love bigger arms

I still have the back definition from the last time :)

Thanks Janet for taking my pictures! -- you rock!
