Falling Off The Waggon & Picking Up The Pieces

So, I was doing really great with my P90x last week. Until Thursday. Mason kept messing with me while doing the Yoga X so I stopped and thought I might do it after the kiddos went to bed. Ha, yeah right. I had a head ache so I took some meds and went to sleep. Then on Friday, Mason had school and I had to make a MAJOR grocery run (you know the kind when you need everything and you feel like you are in Wal-Mart for 2 hours?!?!). I still had a headache. Thankfully the MIL was in town and she picked up Mason from school. My headache just seemed to get worse until I was physically sick... I used to have migraines but lately the headaches are pretty bad (like someone is stabbing me in the brain- not that I would know- just how I imagine it would feel.) I went on to bed on Friday too. Saturday came and went and no working out. Sunday we had church and then we ate lunch with Curt's Poppy, so by the time we got home it was time for Curt to go to work and then bath time and bed time for the boys soon after that. And of course Desperate Housewives came on, so no P90X either. But, today I finished all of my house work so, while Mason is at school tomorrow, I will definitely be doing it. I have not decided if I am going to start the program over or pick up where I left off? So, now while I could be doing P90, I am going to watch Twilight (way funner!) My first week was a major bummer, it is just so hard to make time for yourself when you are a Mom. Time for everyone else comes first. I am just going to have to get more creative...I wish I could just go to a gym, but where we live there is not one gym with in a 40 mile radius that has childcare... So, starting over tomorrow...

P90X {Day 3 &4}- Family News

Alright...

I did Shoulders & Arms yesterday morning, but I did not do Ab Ripper. I know, weenie!

I think I might want my arms to be like Michelle Obama when all of this is said and done.

Shoulders & Arms was hard, but not like day 2 with the plyometerics.

Today (day 4) I attempted Yoga X. But, a certain 3 year old monkey man kept coming and pushing me over when I was in some really hard poses. After about the 3rd time of landing on the floor with Mason on top of me, I turned it off. I might start it up again before bedtime- just because the stretching felt so good to my cramped muscles. I doubt it though. I did not sleep hardly at all last night and so I think I might go to bed when the kids do. Unless, tonight is a new Grey's & Private Practice night... Then I will stay up.... So- yoga probably will not happen tonight.

I have been doing great at my snacking in between meals. But, I feel so empty after I eat. So, I have been finishing off my meals with an extra serving of fruit or veggies. Tonight after my Lean Cuisine, I was still hungry so I steamed some green beans and ate those until I was full. That makes me feel pretty good. I have also realized that if I do not eat first thing in the morning that I eat a crappy breakfast. So I have to get straight up and eat.

My body is sore, I mean really sore. Climbing the stairs hurts- everything hurts. But, I am determined to let those muscles burn. It is a reminder- that I need to kick my bum in gear. I think Curt is tired of hearing me whine about my soreness. I am gonna try and stop whining to him, but not you all.... You like the whining!!! HA

News on the kids:

Miles got his first tooth today. Probably the reason for the crappy sleep last night. I am just guessing though. He also crawls like a champ. He is fast and he knows it. He loves the dog bowl and slamming doors and making lots of noise.

Mason just told me, " When I was a little boy, I was so hungry I ate your computer. It was so yummy, Mom!" He is so funny, I think he takes after me... HA!

I promise some pictures of the kids soon. I have just been busy, trying to get my workouts in instead of sitting on the couch and blogging.

We went shopping with Mammie and she got the boys their Easter outfits. It was a fun trip. Thanks a ton Mammie! I am going to dress them up this weekend and take their pictures out by the lake- hopefully!

I promise to try and not turn this into my P90X journal, but I hate to write by hand. So, the odds that you are going to be hearing about my workouts for the next 90 days are pretty good.

P90X {Day 2}

Whew....

Day 2 of P90x was EXTREME!

First of all, I could not even blog last night about it- I was exhausted.

So, here I am this morning.

Sore. Sore. Sore.

I still am determined to keep going.

Determined not to take Ibuprofen, I need to feel the burn.

Plyometerics was my workout yesterday.

It is super hard, like make you want to puke at the end hard.

I did not puke.

I did want too.

Curt is going to do my workout today with me, not sure what it is, I will have to look at the schedule.

I have another confession, I am a serial snacker.

Constantly grabbing a few of this and a few of that while making snacks for Mason.

I also realized over the past few days that I snack when I am not hungry.

I just put stuff in my mouth.

What a terrible habit.

For the past 2 days at my meals if I was still hungry I would add on a fruit or something low calorie at the end.

Keep in mind I am still breast feeding, so I have to make milk for Miles.

But that does not mean I have to snack on crap all day.

I have decided that snacking is a job hazard of being a SAHM.

We live on a lake, I have to be swim suit ready in just a over a month.

Pray that I can keep with this 90 day system.

It is not going to be easy.

2 down, 88 to go.

P90X {Day 1}

Ok, it is official.

I started P90x today.

Now, I am telling you, so I guess I am trapped.

I have to do this.

I am going to try and blog about my journey- hopefully everyday.

Today was the Chest & Back dvd.

Honestly, it was not what I expected.

I am so used to doing cardio dvd's- not weight training dvd's.

It was intense, very intense.

I had a hard time because I am not very good at push ups- I am terrible at them.

Curt & I did the work out together.

It was great to have him for support, I hope we can do more together.

Tomorrow is Plyometerics, I hear that it is hard.

I am hoping that it has more cardio.

1 down, only 89 to go.
