Intro

For 8 years I have been working on my weight problem. I have worked hard to lose a lot of weight only to gain it back, lose, gain, maintain, lose, gain it ALL back and now losing again. I am determined to finish what I have started, so please join me on my journey of self discovery and PLEASE feel free to jump in and join me!

Starting today - I am beginning my journey anew!

Starting today - I am not going to let the failures of the past haunt me anymore!

Starting today - I am going to make my well-being a PRIORITY in my life!

P90X - Day 10
February 21, 2012

WORKOUT:
     Today was "Lack of motivation day!" I am pretty certain I could have stayed in my jammies and watched TV for a week very easily today. It took me until about 2pm in order to even try and put in my Plyometrics DVD. I almost even had myself convinced that I would "just jump on the treadmill later" and then I remembered all of you. Oh yeah, I have people looking at my blog to see if I am actually going to finish this bad boy! OF COURSE I'm going to do my plyo video and of course I am going to stop eating those homemade cookies :-)
    
     Now just because I got the video in does not mean that I did not struggle to complete it. I was trying to talk myself into every way to skip something, but in the end reminded myself that something is always better than nothing! Today I had a pinch in my right glute and my left knee was hurting (this I discovered during the warm-up lunges) so modification was the name of the game. I tried to maintain the cardio speed to get the sweating/heart rate benefit and just kept the "jumping" to a light hop or pulse so as to not aggravate anything. Butt was a little tender afterwards and certain sitting positions were pinching a Little but nothing horrible. I will just baby it for a few days and it will probably go away soon.

EATING:
     Not so great on my eating today. Did fine for breakfast and snack and then the cookies got brought out :(
I think I ate 4-5 but either way I stuck to a large chicken salad w/light dressing for dinner, so I could keep my calories under control. Should wash out for today.
