I feel so blessed today. I received the cd of the photo shoot I did with First for women magazine. I loved the photos it was such an amazing experience. I feel completely blessed for all the opportunitys that I have
been given lately.
153 lbs and counting...I continually improve
Well I survived! I think. Lol I did yogax2 3 times this week for the recovery week for p90x2. My lesson today is don’t smash your face
I also went for a super fun run! I really love running now.. I really never thought I would say that ever. but now I do! I was almost late to pick up my lil ones from the bus stop because I ran a lil late on getting my yoga in… but I completed both…and I feel soo good that I did….this completes the recovery week for me. I am ready to start phase 3 of p90x2 and I am ready to start some turbofire! My diet has been really on track…I am not gonna let myself back pedal anymore…diet is 80% of the equation. tonight I made chicken parmesean from skinnytaste.com it was soo tastey and soo good for me
Doesn’t it look good…the whole plate was under 600 calories…and baked not fried! I also had a freakin amazing shakeology today…with watermelon, banana, blueberries and almonds…it was sooo refreshing after both of my workouts! Ohhh yeah im gonna keep myself on track with my workouts and my nutrition! I feel great tonight..gonna get to bed just a bit earlier so I get great sleep…I have an important phone call in the morning!
Well today was a good day for me! I did insanity max interval sports here is a tiny section from it
I also got my p90x shirt today! I was so surprised and excited when it came in the mail…I think I kinda look like Monica Cromwell what do you think?
I worked really hard for it and I am excited that it came today! I also did about an hour of dancing with my girls..was totally soo much fun! I am getting super excited about the upcoming turbofire challenge group..I am sooo excited to do turbofire omg it’s the most fun that you can have while you are sweating!
On the nutrition side I did really well with my choices for the day..even tried something new which included stuffing Tuna into a tomato..ohh yeah that was amazing…im not sure my husband would have said the same thing…but I loved it.
Today is September 11th..like most people I will never forget what I was doing that day when I seen what was happening across the country that day. I was at the court house paying on my fines and I watched the other plane hit the tower!
Today I am getting my workouts out of the way first…this and my blogging..I seem to procrastinate about blogging more than doing the actual workouts. Well today is P90x2 yogax2 and Turbofire fire 60. I love both of these workouts so it shouldn’t be too hard to get them done. I have already decided today I am gonna get some major stuff accomplished! Starting early so that I can maybe focus on some downtime later on. Well I cant sit her blogging and get stuff done..so off I go to get stuff done wish me luck!
Wow today I set out on my run. I made sure that the gps was ready and booted up and I ran..I went 5 miles today in 29 mins wow I was running 6 min miles..I have never ran that fast ever in my life. I am so excited about my progress..this is extremely fast for me! I have to thank insanity for my speed. I just finished my fourth round. It really never gets easier! I just get better. This week I am going to focus on some recovery and doing what I feel! I am doing the p90x2 recovery week..that’s 3 days of yoga…tomorrow will be my 2nd…and then some dancing! I plan on starting turbofire here on the 17th with my 4 lb weighted gloves I am so excited. This month is just a worldwind of firsts for me… I just recently received my emerald pin for becoming and emerald coach! yayyy me! I am also being featured in First for Women Magazine from my over 150 +lbs weight loss! I plan on making new goals and and making a plan to accomplish these goals
This picture is me after my super fast run today!
Well I have started and insanity group with some people and tomorrow is the 2nd fit test. I never think that my numbers will go up but they usually do. I ran a 5k today and I feel I did great I placed 81st overall..I was 18 this female to cross the line and 4th in my age group with a time of 24 mins 56 seconds which is a great time but I would love to be so much faster….
all I know is as soon as I was done with the race I started planning what I could do to make myself faster…I have been sticking to my workouts but..I have had a couple of slip ups with my diet…I did do doubles all last year…so to kick up my workouts a notch I am going to start p90x2
tomorrow…yeah I know it will be hard but the results will be worth it and I believe that I can do it. I am making one day a week for a run day for me…so I can see if I am improving in anyway. I am excited to show everyone that I can do this…but those of you that know me know that I will not take anything but the best!
Starting in August I am also going to be doing the push Challenge so that I can regain control of my life..I feel like that when one area of my life is going good then another is lacking..so I am taking the push challenge so that I can get help organizing and prioritizing what needs to be done in my life for me to be successful…big things are gonna be happening for me!
So yeah I have neglected to write in here for a long time. My friend Jason had his girls up from Alabama and we did a lot of outdoors stuff. We also trained for the star spangle spectacular 5k. We all ran together. Mary and I ran side by side the entire way! It was really great to have someone to run next to that I knew! My daughter Heaven Leigh also had a running partner Marys sister Maria…they both finished Heaven in 40 mins and Maria in 41 and a half. The race was a sweltering 85 degrees so the fact that we all finished was awesome!
Here is Heaven crossing the finish line!
and here she is at the end of the race…still so beautiful..im a proud mama. I ended up taking 3rd in my age group…I feel extremely luck to have accomplished this. I am now refocused on my fitness and my girls and I are training for another race…the run to the moon..my 5 and 6 year old wanna run the one mile fun run. Stormy actually ran a mile in 11 mins the other day. shes such a determined little girl. Heaven wants to improve on her time so she is doing insanity with me but at her own pace. Both storm and Heaven did the fit test
