Making it To 90 Days

That’s right people. I made it. I have completed my first 90 Days of P90X.
People ask me…does it work? I’ll let you be the judge.

I also lost 8.5 inches between my hips, waist and chest, but only 3 lbs. My goal had been 10.
For 2 years, I have been using other [...]

P90X – Results

I’m just shy of the 3 week mark on P90X and already seeing some mild results. I have only lost 3 lbs., but have shaved 1.5 inches off my waist, about an inch off my hips, and 2 inches off of my chest. I didn’t measure anything else, but was happy to see [...]

Getting To It

I haven’t posted much about my fitness journey, because I’ve hit some bumps in the road. One week I’ll be on, one off. I have no motivation. My life is fluttering around me, and I’d rather be sitting in a chair than moving. Yeah, that bad…
The good news is, I haven’t [...]

The Problem with New Year’s Resolutions on Working Out

I’ve been an avid exerciser for about the last 15 years of my life. I’ve tried lots of different things – aerobics, biking, weights, running, yoga, kickboxing, yada, yada yada. Never have I started on any workout endeavor in January.
Why? Isn’t that the time to get going? It’s a brand new [...]

It’s a Brand New Year

I haven’t written anything here in months. That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped working out and have been eating everything is sight. I’ve been maintaining my weight and working out 3-5 times a week. But today was the first time I did anything for two weeks. Here’s where I’m headed into the [...]

Still Hanging in There

Wow, it’s been a long time since I wrote here. It isn’t that I haven’t been working out, it’s that blogging about my workout routine seems impossible at times.
I’m not doing much these days. I’m just trying to ride my bike trainer as many days of the week as I can. With [...]

Pursuing Fitness Every Day

In the past I was able to have fitness at the very center of what I did. I recorded my workout details with precision. I read supporting literature about my various workouts. I looked for more ideas on how to improve my times and get better at working out. Exercise defined [...]

Fitness Challenge – Finishing Up

Friday – Light Weights Workout – Slim and Lean
Saturday – 6ish mile run pushing stroller
I finished up my fitness challenge today. I had to push myself because Saturdays I usually get a free pass from pushing the stroller. But my dh had a home improvement project that needed his attention before the sun [...]

Fitness Challenge – 141

I finally weighed myself today. I weigh 141. Whoooo. I’ve lost a few pounds over this challenge. But actually, about 6 weeks ago, I was 147. So I’m happy to be on the downside. I’d like to get back into the 130s – but am not sure if I [...]
