P90X Week 10 Day 2


P90X Week 10 Day 2

Ok, I have 4 days to go and its looking like I may not be able to get the weigh goal. I will continue to keep diet clean, and work it like the Rockstar I am because I am on the Hot Tamale Train!

I will take pictures at the end of the month, which will be the 90 day mark. For now the goal is FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS. I am pumped up!

I got in lots of running over the 4th of July hoiday and I tried to stay away from all the bad foods. I ate mostly fruit salad and I had a 1.5 lb weight gain. I played games with my sister and had a few lays chips and hershey kisses, so I am sure that was the cause. I stuck with salad and fish for my meals, and being so close to my goal date I am really feeling the crunch.

Did you do well over the holiday?

I hope so and that you had a wonderful time. I actually got back late on Monday night and its taken me this long to catch up.

P90X Week 9 Day 7


P90X Week 9 Day 7 - Stretch

I managed to see a few of the dancers last night on So you think you can dance, I saw the last 4 dances. I was glad to see the ballet of Romeo & Juliet it was fabulous. The skill these young dancers have is amazing.


I did stop in to a new fitness studio up the street from me called Ellipse. http://www.ellipsefitness.com/They are a franchise from up north and do one on one training. They helped the BL contestants train, and its into kickboxing, boot camp and kettle bell and yoga. We met the owners and they plan to open a few more. They do have cute shirts that say "Knockout" I may just have to get one.

Is Milk Poision?


Week 9 Day 6 - P90X Kenpo
Today was a great workout, I really worked up a sweat. I think because I have only 11 days to go. I am really on the HOT TAMALE TRAIN...ON FIRE!
I can't wait to watch "So you think you can dance" tonight as long as I remember to turn it on. Last time I turned on the tv now I only get channels 2,11 and 30 its getting slim pickins. Thank goodness its on channel 2!

Last night after dinner I went for a 2 mile walk and struggled, I could feel my legs were like jello. I am so glad tomorrow is my day off and I will be doing stretch only. I am still going to do a walk at lunch today, its just been way to nice here in STL not to get out an enjoy.

Yesterday they had the big retirement party at work, cake and soda and food galore but I stuck with my diet and my lunch a salad with chicken and was proud of myself. However I was so hungry for some reason when I got home I had 2 of the chicken breasts. It was so good, you have to love a Foreman grill. I went over on carbs because I had some cherries and a few animal crackers for my last snack since I was so high on protein. Opps that's why my weigh in was 116.5 I am sure.

Its POISON! I'm reading a book on how the milk, even skim has so many bad things in it. How it actually causes osteoprosis not prevents it. http://www.nof.org/
Now Im thinking of switching to soy. I don't want to get into the details because really it made me ill listening to this whole thing, but most of it does relate to hormones and even the farm cows too. A normal farm cow produces 10 gallons a day a hormone cow produces 100 gallons a day!

Do you drink milk or soy?

I don't drink much milk but have always drank skim so if anyone has thoughts on this please share with me.
