Day four

It was sort of a rough weekend and I didn't work out or make time for it...which is totally my fault so I am continuing on today. Today was yoga. Its 1 1/2 hours long and I could barely do 45 minutes before my legs wouldn't stop shaking and my muscles gave out. I layed on my floor for like 20 minutes after only half of it! I enjoyed what I could do and my goal for next time is to get further through. I'm now also trying to eat a diet of less than 1500 calories. I guess we will see how that goes. Hopefully tomorrow goes well.

Day three

Today was arms and shoulders and the ab video. It wasn't as bad today! I got up this morning and my arms and chest still hurt but not as bad as yesterday. Then my butt and legs sort of hurt...I guess I am used to those hurting because of dance class. I push myself a little too hard sometimes! :) It is actually getting easier. I'm surprised I am still going and hopefully it won't be too terrible. :S Tomorrow is yoga! I am hoping it isn't too terribly hard. My pants actually are getting bigger and bigger. I already went down two sizes this year already and now I'm hoping that I will go down another size. I guess we will see how it goes tomorrow.

Day two

I probably haven't felt this sore since high school dance camp. No lie. Luckily I was smart enough to put on TONS of icy hot and take Ibuprofen before bed. Today was plyometrics. It pretty much kicked my butt. I didn't do too bad but I was breathing way hard after the warm up. I was shocked when after ten minutes he said "Okay! Now lets get into the work out! That was just your warmup!" I about cried. There were so many times I though to myself, 'eh, just stop now. Its your first week and you already did fifteen minutes.' But then I remembered why I am doing this and kept going. It was tough but I feel really accomplished from actually getting through that workout. It was SO CRAZY! I am sure I won't be able to move tomorrow. But I guess I am just going to have to work through the pain. I'm actually really enjoying myself...hopefully it stays that way. Tomorrow is another ab day....:S boo! Plus its arms and chest. I guess we will see how that goes. Overall I am feeling pretty good, sore but, good! Hopefully I can keep going!

Day one...

So I woke up this morning and debated whether I really wanted to start today or not. I decided to start because I swear I always quit when something is hard, well, not always.... Anyways. So I finally put the baby down for a nap around eleven and decided to pull out my P90X. I decided to start on the classic 90 days instead of lean or doubles? I guess that is probably my best bet. So I started out like the paper said with the shoulder back exercise video. Now most videos I have done have been really complicated. Well this one wasn't. There were alot of push ups and pull ups. My arms feel like jelly and I am worried I won't be able to pick my baby up....hahahaha! I got through the whole video without too many problems and was able to keep up most of the time. Then came the ab video. I thought this would be easier because I do alot of crunches and I dance so my abs are in shape...or so I thought... I couldn't even make it through half the video. I was so shocked at how hard the exercises were!! I have never done anything that hard with my abs! I can see why people have six packs from that exercise alone. . . I hurt alot right now.

I'm slightly discouraged about this workout. I was sure that I would be dying with the arm exercises and not having too hard of a time with the abs and it was the other way around. I don't have to do the ab thing for two more days again but I am still shocked. I guess I really am not in that great of shape. I knew I wasn't in gread shape but I thought I was in okay shape. I'm learning more and more I'm in not so good of shape. I am going to try to eat alot of protien today and stretch really good tonight. I can see that icy hot is going to be my best friend tonight... Over all it was a fun hour and a half and I'm slightly nervous for tomorrow with plyometrics (jumping for an hour constantly). I guess we will see!

Here goes nothing!

I don't care if anyone reads this blog or doesn't, it's mainly for me to keep track of what I'm doing and reaching my goal. I have never tried something really hard that challenges me physically that I honestly didn't think I could do. So I decided to follow the craze and try P90X. I have heard so many people saying it is the hardest workout they have ever done and that not many people could actually get through the 90 days. I honestly don't think I can do it, but I want to try! I figure if I write down my journey it will help me to remember how hard it was and to see where I came from to where I get. Perhaps it will help push me to continue on... who knows? I will also be posting healthy recipes that I will be trying from the biggest loser website. I guess we will see how this all goes tomorrow....:)
