Alright, so I have done P90X work out before but quiet ( It was a while ago, maybe a year?) Anyway, I decided to pickit back up again because it is an extreme work out for 90 days. You can follow one of their programs or create you own. So I am going with their lean program, I love cardio, and I don’t really want to bulk up. There is still strength training in there, dont worry about that, just not as much as the normal program.

So I have been work really hard at it because of my goal for my birthday of being with 5 lbs of my goal weight, to help out my teams, and to win LL7. And me of course, these are just the other places that I support and like to do my best for.

Well I am so sore, I don’t remember being this sore the first time. My legs hurt, and today when I went to put my hands on my hip (or should i say love handles),  I jumped because of the soreness. Now don’t get me rough this is not a bad soreness, I don’t know it is when doing normal things, but wow!

Also thanks to my Wild Cats Jessi and Nancy, I now I can want tv on Hulu (lol. I am way behind in the times) and I plan to watch some biggest loser shows since I have missed this season.

Alright enough babbling…Have a great day everyone!!!!!!!

I know this one will not be long because I am so tried and ready for bed. However, I am so proud of myself and since I usually come on here to talk about my bad times, I am here to talk about my good ones. lol.

 So far I have been very on track the last couple of days. Staying in my calories, getting kick butt work outs in. I am actually sore for the first time in a long time that I can remember. Plus all this hard work I am putting in makes me feel like I will see a big drop on the scale and if I don’t. it doesn’t hurt my feeling any because I can already feel a different in my leg strength and the way my pants are fitting.

I have been doing good on my couple of challenges that I am in too, so that makes me feel even prouder of myself. I have also got myself set up with a new exersice time. I usually exersice right before I go to bed at night, but the problem I have found is that sometimes it will be 10:30 by time dinners cleaned up and the kids are in bed and I would push myself thought until 11:30 were I would literally being falling asleep on the tread mill. Now I have tried to get up early, but it just doesn’t happen. I am not a morning person. So I have come up with a new time. nap time. lol. Well at least for the baby, and I put a movie on for my 3 year old and he has quiet time. It has worked out really well the last couple of days and I get my work out in during the middle of the day. I plan to keep sticking with it and maybe work my way up to the mornings. We all have to start some where. Also on a good note, my quieting smoking that I start Oct. 28th is going well. There is only one day between now and then that I have pick up a smoke and that was out of being drunk, and habit. lol. Hey what can I say about Halloween except we had fun.:)

Well I am off to finish up my forums and then bed.

Where are my blogs? lol. OH, yeah that is right I have been stinking it up in this department. I am on here I read blogs, comment, go to the forum, read mail, that whole nine yards and then when comes to being on here and posting. I can’t. it is like I freeze or something. I use to have no problem when I first joined to blog every day. NOw, not so much. Don’t know why that is either.

HOwever, I am doing great. Weigh in with a 1 lb lost. I was hoping for more. But with being sick (missed 1 day of exersice and had to cut another in half because I couldn’t finish) and TOM I am glad for that 1 lb. Hopfully next week there will be more. I am also doing the no cheats until turkey day. So far doing good. The first night i goofy. My father-in-law is in town and took all of us out for pizza. That is hard to say no to. But I am back on the horse and kicking butt. Now if I could breath out my nose again that would be great.

So far I am the only one sick. So that is a plus not to have to deal with sick kids at the same time. Other than that, everything is going well. Christmas shopping is almost done too. Just have Mikey and Shelbie to get stuff for and the stocking stuffers. But hubby and I are going to try the after thanksgiving sale. We have never done it before. We always have our shopping done before thanksgiving, but  you can always try something once. Alright I need to get off and get ready for the day.

But i am here today. I didn’t mean to. Yesterday was kind of a crap day. My friend was going to come over for dinner and they speacial asked for pizza. So I when out and got some and told myself I would eat a big salad and have one piece of pizza, it wouldn’t kill me. Well she cancelled at the last minute. I was so upset last night because she does this all that time that I skipped the salad and ended up have 3 pieces. I am so dissappointed in myself. After that it was off to a birthday party. I had no cake though. So that is good. Today has gone better. I am acutally going to go and do my P90X work out when I am done on here.

 I also lost 1 lb this week. So that makes me feel like I am getting back on track again. I want to see another lost this week. As for my weekly goal of not getting on the scale except for on Fridays, I did okay. I had one day where I did it out of habit. So I am getting there. Been doing good on the water and vitamins the last couple of days too.

We watched the proposal today. I like it, was different than what I thought it was gonig to be. I also went to a craft show today and did tons of walking. Didn’t get anything for me. Saw tons of cute things, and i got each of my kids a bracelet so they knew I was thinking about them. They love it! Well off to put my hair up and tennie shoes on so I can work out. Talk to you all later and good luck to all the teams tomorrow for weigh in.

So I have a plan of attack. I found one of my long lost cook books and plan to do some reciepts out of it. Also I am going to start my P90X. I will start the first’s day work out tomorrow. Tonight i plan to watch the first video and get myself familiar with it again. Since it can be a kick butt program. Did lost of reading today for weight loss tips and found some really interesting stuff. My goals to plan and apply it.

 I also have a goal. My birthday is January 7th. So I did some looking and i have 58 day untilthen. In those 58 days I plan to lose 12 lbs. That is a 1 lb one week and a 2 lb lost the next and alternating weeks like that. So I think it will work. Or at least I hope so. Also if I am able to lost 12 lbs by my birthday that would be me 2 lbs away from my goal weight. That would be a great birthday present to myself. So these are my new goals and plans of attack. As for today. I have been doing good. Need to work on a little water, but I will get it done.

went okay. I didi great utnil dinner and then candy attack hit. I ate some and then wasn’t hungry for dinner. I had an amazing work out though yesterday. Well it was walking on my tread mill, but I pushed myself hard. I was sweating bucks of water. Plus I have a thing I can put on finger to check my heart rate and I keep it right where it needed to be to be burning a good amount of calories. I felt great and was so proud of myself.

Today, has been so busy food has been bad. No breakfast. I went out to get some groceries, and then to stop by my mom’s because she needed some help. AFter that came home. Grabbed 3 cookies for a snack unload grociers and tookthe kids to the doctor for their check ups (both are doing great by the way and it is time to start potty training). Then we met up with hubby and went ot McDonald. I only had a doubel cheese burger. I now not good, but I order a larger fry too and then ate a couple and realized I really I wasnt hungry. So in the garabage they went. THen I got home. Decide to work on potty training a little and my son decided ht didn’t like underwear. So he took all his new underwear we got and flushed them down the toilet. Needless to say I spent most of the afternoon cleaning up water and trying to pull underwear out of the toliet. I think hubby is going to have to take it apart:(.

So now here I sit. Eating 3 cookies and a McDonald double cheese burger. Going to do rice and chicken for dinner I think. Water I did good on yesterday. I drank 90 oz and I remembered my vatmins. So I am getting there. One day at a time.

mine, has stunk so far this month. I am going to improve that though starting right now. I told my team I would journal everyday to help out with my eating and what day it is??? The 3rd and I am just now writing a blog. So horrible to start a month out this way. But I am on the back hill swing of things. I had a good lunch yesterday and evern when out and bought a few more good grociers, so I should be set in food. Plus I just took my last mid-term yesterday so I will have time to work out again. Not that I didn’t before they just weren’t as long, which didn’t feel as good. But getting good grades in college is important too. Not to mention I have never recieved anything below a C+, so I don’t want to figure it out the last quarter of school before I am done.

I have been doing good on my water intake though. Nothing to really change there. So I am doing starting now. I am changing and working I losing weight during these holiday months. They will not hold me back or be an excuse. There will be oneday of realaxation this month and that will be Turkey Day. The rest I am working my butt off and putting it all out there.

I have decided no more pop or any kind. I am so horrible at drinking it. It is like my life line. So I have told everyone I know today is it. I decided this, this afternoon. So hopefully by telling everyone I will hold myself accountabliy. I will let you know how tomorrow goes. I am afraid. It is hard for me to quit drink pop, than it is for me to quit smoking. I am a hard core attic. lol. Anyhow, I know it is short. But I am want to go get a good work out in still.

I have offically read all of you blogs. I tried to leave at least one comment, but I didn’t manage it for everyone. There was a lot of reading to do for being gone 2 months. Wow, there is a lot going on. A lot that has changed and some that is still the same. I still haven’t found my grove yet for eating healthy and exersice, but I am getting there. Trying to find a calm with all the choas. However, for the first time since August I am current on my homework, doing good with volleyball, and the house was clean at one point. I have to finish decorating for Halloween and at sometime I need to finish my kids scrapebooks so I can start new one. All in time though, all in time.

Also, I was wondering for all you leaders out there if there is an opening on any of the teams? If so please let me know. I really would like to join one and I am very dedicated. My only slip up was this time because of my internet problem, but I promise it wont happen again. So is there anyone out there?

Thanks!

Nicole

Yes I have. It has been a long few months with out you guys. But internet and computer are both finally fix. So I will not be disappearing again any time soon. I have been working on getting caught up on post. I am half way there, but not it has been an hour of reading and my eyes are starting to hurt not to mention the children are screaming at me. Since i have been gone a lot has happen. We had 2 of our dogs killed, the washing maching broke, started a new custidy battle over Lexi, and I ran over myself phone. So there were many things that we fixed and paid for before we could get out computer fix. However, we are now on the way of getting everything all taken care of. Got dog buried, a new washing machine, Lexi mom did want to have to do another custidy battle so she gave us more time without having to go to court (very nice), and I got my new phone in the mail today (thank goodness for insurance). So life has been busy.

I also want to say sorry skipping out on you guys. That was not my plan. I did miss you terrible and I am sorry for be a bad buddy and not being around. It won’t happen again beside we put a warranty on the computer after they fix it, so that will help if things should go wrong in the future. I started school up again and am working on my last quarter and I will graduate in Dec. Volleybal seaon is almost over. One week left. The new job is going okay. It has it hits and misses. Still trying to get things figured out too. But over all not too bad.

As far as weight. I cant remember the last time that I counted calories or exersiced. I have just been doing what my body tells me and so far not to bad. Weigh in this morning (knowing I would be on this site) and I am at 150 lbs right now and TOM is here to. When I left buddy slim I was at 144. I am going to say I am around 148 when TOM is gone. That is what I was weigh in at when I felt like jumping on the scale. So now that i have people to talk to and know that I will be held more reliable it is time to jump back on the wagon. I have also managed to pick up my bad pop habit and smoking. I had when life throws you curve balls. However I already told hubby that my smoking has got to go. So that will be the first thing on my list to work on.

As for now. I promise get caught up with the rest of my buddies. I am off for now to do school work and will be on later for finish up the other half. lol. Love you guys!
